Foundation vs. Powder - For Darker skintones

(0) Hearts

I have used MAC's studio fix powder in NC45 for years, but I have always wondered if I would fair better with a liquid foundation. Sometimes the powder can make my face appear ashy, especially in the winter. Should I opt for a liquid foundation? Do you have any suggestions for one (I prefer something that is not too heavy, I only need light coverage.) I saw UD Naked Skin Collection, that looks nice! Suggestions?

 

Thank you!

I understand where you coming from and I to thought that a liquid foundation might be better,however, after going thru every liquid foundation and spending way too much money I ended up going back to the studio fix and regretted ever trying anything else. Just remember there's a reason why those of us that have used it for years keep going back.

Try Sue Devitt, Ulta carries the line, and they have some shades for darker and African American skin tones along with a super lovely powder. Their line is infused with seaweed and red algea along with marine botanicals so it's also very healthy and skin friendly!

No probs!

 

They have a gel/liquid foundation for light/medium coverage and a mousse/potted foundation for medium to full coverage, both feel super light. Their concealer is super creamy to work with and comes in a twist up pen style so it makes it great for on-the-go use, and jumbo liner/shadow pencils are long wearing and versatile!
