I have been using the 173 for a while now and I was happy with it until I happened to stop by at a MUFE counter to check out some of their HD blushes and the MUA/SA caught me at the foundation section and told me that I should try out 170 because it would look perfect on me.. When I told her that I use the 173 she said they are not very different but in her opinion the 170 would work better on me. Let me just say that I don't really trust these ladies because, not to generalize or anything, not all of them them are have the buyers best interests at heart. I think sometimes they just want us buy products irrespective of whether it suits us or not.
However this lady (who was really nice!) sensing my reluctance (read suspicion) sat me down and proceeded to apply them both on me. She tried 170 on one side and 173 on the other with the HD primer 4 (the colour correcting one) and to my surprise the 170 actually looked slightly better. it made my face look brighter without making it look ashy which was not a massive difference and unless you looked at me face carefully you wouldn't be able to tell I was wearing two different shades of foundations.I walked away confused and after much deliberation at home I decided it was because she used the colour correcting primer, which was quite orange-y to start with, that this happened (I myself use the colourless HD one). So i went back another day and requested that she try both on me again but this time with the colourless one and to my surprise the result was still the same albeit a little less orange-y.
So now I'm just flummoxed! Has anyone else had this problem?!?
