^^BeautyByLele that's a good question. Unfortunately I don't have a Sephora near me that carries the whole line so I can only guess. Mein Herr from the same group of colors as BMD looks like something you might check out, then again it looks possibly "scary" too, lol!

^^LOL - I have only this to say...next time you go to Sephora, get a sample of N90 in Cover FX Oil Free Natural Finish Foundation along with the Marc Jacobs. In her defense - she was not wearing liner. She talked about the liners she would wear with it.

Cool - report back if you see any good prospects. I forgot to get Black Metal Dahlia when I went this weekend. You just reminded me of this. Did you try the Marc Jacobs foundation?

Yes I did and I like it. It's feels really lightweight so I added that one to my foundation list. I didn't buy the nars foundation as planned yet, I still want to get them I just wanted use up a lil more of my other foundations first. I'm using my prongwear in nc50 but I think it's a lil off (looks a tad too red) probably a mix of nc45 & nc50 would be good but I don't feel like mixing..so I'm trying to hurry up and use it up.

OK, not to tempt you, but this is another convenient reason to buy C7 Face and Body. I mixed that with my PLW foundation in NC50 until I ran out, because the NC50 PLW just looked to red on me. I got the best of both worlds, long wear and a better shade match.

Totally random, but I was messing around on a foundation database and this is the exact recommendation. I don't know if I dare try Sheer Glow. The idea of something with the word "glow" in it on my oily face terrifies me.

Yeah I have dry skin so the glow doesn't bother me... Well just stick to the matte foundation if it works for ya. Yeah that match foundation database is a nice tool and it seems pretty accurate

Okay, I got a sample of Macao sheer glow so, I'll try it out tomorrow. I also got a sample of the Marc Jacobs foundation in #84, I wanna test that out too ... Lol
Hey Lele Looking so pretty girl. I have a sample of the sheer glow in Macao and I wasn't a fan. Now you make me want a sample of the matte one. I have dry skin so I thought glow would be the way to go even though I do prefer a matte finish. I'm headed to the city this week so I will be sure to pick up some samples of a few foundations. I'm dying to try that Marc Jacobs.
Sagehen -here's me wearing Macao in sheer glow .. Umm I think this makes me look a lil dull. What do you think ??? I think Macao sheer glow has just a tad to much yellow for me. Tomorrow I'll test out New Guinea sheer glow again

It's hard for me to find regular nude lippies never mind an OCC. I always tend to neglect my OCC collection but I want to add this red one to it. I just wore the NSFW over Riri woo on thanksgiving and loved it.
