Great review. I love trying new stuff so this was very helpful. I never wore foundation but I am 40 now and feel I need a little coverage for. some redness and uneven spots, what do you recommend? I dont want to look too made up. I prefer natural look. I started with tinted moisturizer and its been ok. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I swear you’re going to make me go broke. lol I love the makeups you promote entirely too much for my bank account’s own good! (;;^.^) That’s MORE stuff I’m going to have to track down on ebay. Most of what you use isn’t available in stores here in Canada. ;p

Ugh, I hear you on the makeup sensitivities! I developed some weirdo reaction to something in chemical SPF, so now if it goes anywhere near my mouth it looks like I have cold sores or worse, swollen nasty cracking lips! It’s really hard to find products I like without any SPF. Laaamee.

I have been trying to play around with highlighting and contouring more, and I found the ‘faint’ color in the UD Naked basics is a nice color for medium skintypes. Yay dual usage!

Thank you for always sharing info with us! We kind of get to live vicariously through you, especially with things we can’ afford to try out ourselves

yes they are pigmented, and smooth, the only thing with the foundations is because they don’t contain silicones, they feel a little dry in the application and not full coverage, but you just need to get use to the consistency. They are sold at Whole Foods or online, another brand that i forgot to mention is Jane Iredale is a brand from USA, i buy the powdered eyeliner and foundations.

i absolutely love the lorac pro! i’m glad it got really popular; it went practically unnoticed in its first few months and i remember right around the time i got it, it seemed like a lot of people were as well. glad you like it!

i, too, thought the naked basics was not that good but i know people with mature skin tend to stay away from shimmery shades (although i think they can totally be worn!) and it is super neutral. i can do a beautiful, simple look on myself and i really like it. when i first saw pictures of it i was pretty disappointed and upon swatching the shades i realized it could be used for a nice and clean natural look or to blend out other shades. i love it!

Hey Marlena!
I purchased the beauty blender ( through your store) and I bought the MUF Matte velvet foundation, I really like it ( I usually use MUF – HD foundation #160)
I actually prefer it over MAC, shhhhh lol it glides on and looks flawless esp using the blender. I purchased the Tarte holiday collection, through ebay ( it’s sold out everywhere) but I got mine!!! and love the shadows! I just ordered the LORAC pallet and anxious to try that! thank you so much for your well wishes! I truley miss my artist days, and now lock up more than make up but who knows what the future holds, after I have my baby I will have some time off at least
