Hi Marlena! I was wondering what color do you use for Revlon Colorstay? I read you use Neutrogena Healthy Skin in #60 which i do too. It would make it easier to find my color based on the color you use, your absolutely AMAZING and super talented keep up this great work! xo

this really helps… have the same problem with my brides, their pictures are fine when done by pro photographers due to them retouching the photos after but for the point and shoot ones, i can really see the difference. I was told that maybe the culprit is the finishing powder, thanks a lot i know now exactly what to check on the powders ingredients list

I actually just started using Revlon ColorStay after seeing Marlena’s “How to fake Flawless skin (My NEW face routine),” and I’ve been using it with a stipling brush. HOLY COW!! It’s unbelievable!!

I have an ongoing issue. My skintone is very hard to match at all. Mixing foundatioins will not work. My skin is very olive and and everything is not yellow enough. I have found one that fit and that was shiseido perfect refining foundation. The problem is that my skin is very oily, so even I use a primer and urban decay de slick my face still gets shiny after 4 hours. I spent so much money on these products and they do nothing to help my skin. I used to wear bare escentuals but it makes my face look really pink against my neck. Need some suggestions please!

I’d say check ur finishing powder. If it contains titanium dioxide then you’ll end up with this gray cast all over your face in photos (trust me, i look ghoulish)
also, strange as this sounds, coordinate your foundation with your moisturizer. if you use a water-based moisturizer, dont use an oil-based foundation and vice versa. even if this looks fine in real life, the camera can pick up all sorts of imperfections
AND USE A HEAVIER HAND. i just hate how everything looks so vibrant in the mirror but looks non-existent on camera
hope this helped

I was checking the ingredients list and i saw that titanium dioxide was a key ingredient in revlon colorstay.. does this affect the way that the foundation turns out in photos??
