Has anyone used Laura Mercier Mineral Powder or Tarte Amazonian Clay Airbrush Foundation? I used to use exclusively Bare Minerals as foundation but it got heavy quickly and didn't offer me any coverage. I'm looking for something to use on top of my foundation on areas where I need extra coverage, or to use on its own on 'no makeup' days. I have oily skin.

Anyone that has used Bioderma and the Sephora Cleansing Water? Any thoughts on the Sephora product? I'm running out of my Embryolisse Lotion Micellaire and i'm looking for a replacement. I love the Embryolisse but its a bit pricey.

Anyone have feedback on MUFE Full Cover concealer?  it's pricey at $32 but I don't mind paying it if it truly works.  I use concealer to cover blemishes.  Any feedback? I was matched to #14 which applied a little dark but the Sephora lady told me its better to go darker than lighter when trying to cover a blemish and I can blend it out with my foundation.  Is this true?  #12 was a tad too light and #14 a tad too dark Or...I  could skip it all together and find a brand with a better match but wanted to check here to see if anyone had good things to say
I love the full cover concealer. I'm #12. I think the best way to evaluate a concealer is to apply it with your foundation and see how it all blends in. If you wear foundation, that is. I've had concealers that I thought were fine until I did my entire face and it just stood out and announced itself. I'm too lazy to even bother with concealer these days, tbh. I don't even mind my "flaws" showing. BTW, cracking the hell up because now even Urban Outfitters has the Anastasia palette.

I have absolutely fallen in love with the Laura mercier mineral powder. I was setting up to buy Bare Minerals during VIB, I was colour matched, had it tried on etc. The day before I thought what the hey, I will compare the two. Laura Mercier was so much more stunning. I have been wearing it on a daily basis since. I have extremely sensitive skin, and I haven't had any problems.

I love reading what other people got too. I'll list what I got - once I gather all the receipts. I placed like 5 separate orders. I've forgotten what I actually got.

Lol, I know what you mean...when opening my box I found things I'd forgotten I had ordered! After opening everything I almost felt drunk, but it was a nice feeling.

My daughter uses this concealer for blemishes and she likes it. Said it lasts a long time and I think it stays on through her games. (She's a college athlete.) I suppose I would go darker b/c lighter would highlight the blemish which isn't what you want. Also check out Kat Von D and CoverFX. Actually Amazing Cosmetics should be your first stop.

The NARS rep used the Pear concealer as a corrector under my eyes and then topped with Radiant Creamy Concealer. Worked really well, but creased a little.
Where do you buy Amazing Cosmetics?

I like MAC Pro Longwear best for blemishes because it covers but doesn't get cakey and it doesn't dry and crack.
I have a sample of the prolongwear concealer that I need to try. I remember it being pretty thin in consistency. I'm guessing that its buildable?

You're number 12? What number do you wear in MUFE foundation? Are you number 12 for undereye coverage or blemish/marks/coverup on other areas of your face?
I think I could wear #12 if I used under my eyes. But since I am covering blemishes it does not work

Omg, I love everything you got! I love the shiseido cotton pads, I like to use them to apply toner/essence because they don't pill.

Yes, exactly. I usually find one coat to be good but I can add another layer or even two and it still looks great. That's what I like best. Usually the second coat gets thick and discolored and starts to crack on my blemishes. And I am consistently impressed with how well the first layer covers.  Edit: I mean other concealers usually get thick and cakey on the second layer. Pro longwear doesn't (for me).

I use it for blemishes. I don't put concealer under my eyes. I'm 173 in HD, 18 in Face and Body.
