So I know that women of color like myself can have a pretty rough time with hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. I have acne scars and generally dull looking skin and i've been trying the regimen described on this blog for about a week now and the results are amazing! My skin is so much more...

Everything about shade #34 is perfect for me because it has absolutely no pink in it, it's just a nice yellow/golden tone. The only problem is that it's about half a shade or one shade too light for my skin. Which one would be better? I know that #6 is way too pink for me. I'm a MAC NC40/2.

Hi guys, can anyone suggest a few high end sheer or light foundations for me? I'm looking to try a new foundation but for some reason i can't find that many sheer-to-light coverage ones. Most lines seem to jump straight from tinted moisturisers to medium coverage So far I have: MUFE F&B Bobbi...

Hi girls, i'm looking for a nice peachy/beige/tan cheek colour and i've narrowed down the choices to these from MAC: Sunny by Nature MSF Sincere Gingerly Buff Can anyone help me decide on which one to try out of these? I'm a MAC NC40/42. Btw i've tried MAC Sunbasque in the past and it pulled...

Im ordering from the UK so I have to order online I have 34 and it's almost a perfect match, just a tiny bit too light - like half a shade or less. Im a MAC NC40-42.

Hi, I need recommendations for a tan coloured cream blush or something in that family like a beige or browny peach. I have and love Bobbi Brown's Pot Rouge in Summer Tan and i'm looking for more to add to my collection! Thanks for any recs! xxx

Hi, just wondering if there are any good alternatives to MAC MSFN? I love everything about it but the colour always seems to oxidise slightly on me! I'm a MAC NC40/42 and I match MSFN in Medium Dark. The colour looks great at first but slowly turns darker as the day progresses. The only way I...

I just picked up a sample of a Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Summer Tan and it's the perfect 'neutral' blush on my NC40-42 skin! Usually I go for peachy colours but this is completely different and I think it looks great on me. It sort of defines my cheeks in a subtle way that's different to bright...

Hi, I've been searching for so long but I cant seem to find a good neutral or nude blush for my NC40/42 skin. I'm thinking something in the tan or beige family... I've tried NARS Sertao and Silvana but Sertao was too dark and frosty and Silvana was a bit too shimmery orange. I hear Chanel has...

Hi, can anyone recommend a matte bronzer that has a golden or peach tone to it rather than red or brown? Cream or powder, any price! Oh and it needs to show up on an NC42. I like the look of Chanel Bronze Universel but I think it might be too light for my skin tone...

Hi guys! I'm looking for a totally matte bronzer with a golden tone to it rather than brown or orange/red. Everything i've tried so far comes up too brown (Benefit Hoola), too red (Rimmel Matte Bronzer) or too shimmery (NARS Casino). Do you have any suggestions? I'm a MAC NC40, MUFE F&B 34...
