I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I think the foundation (of which I use just a touch in select areas) is breaking me out.
I haven't broken out in so many years! But in the area where I want to put some foundation, around my nose where I have large pores, I got some break-outs.

K so went to exchange my NW15 for NC15, and they were s/o of my shade!
I just returned it, but forgot to order one (as Nordies does free shipping to home for orders $25+). I suppose I'll have to live without this foundation for a bit but I kinda wonder if I even want it?
And ladies, if you're looking for a good concealer, I highly recommend Bisque from Bare Minerals..IDK if it has bismuth in it, but if you are good w/ BE, then try it...it doesn't settle into lines, it doesn't wear off super fast...it conceals zits and spots almost like a magic eraser. I conceal the zits then use a liquid foundation over top and it's amazing, you can't even tell there's a concealer underneath and it doesn't just rub away. HTH!

I have a pimple forming on my forehead
Not sure if its from this or from the chanel liquid bronzer though... Im not going to worry about it unless i REALLY start breaking out.

Thanks for the recommendation! I was using the BE foundation in Fair as my foundation and concealer, but I might go try a sample of the Bisque from Sephora. It's always good to try out new foundations and concealers to see what works out best. I'm still trying to decide if I like the SS concealer or not (applying it with the BE concealer brush has worked best for me, though).

I've been wearing this for about 2 and a half weeks straight now, and I love the way it feels. My skin is pretty oily though, so around the end of the day my nose and forehead need some touching up, but I'm willing to put up with it because of the great color match (finally NC15 matches me perfectly!)
Knock on wood, but I haven't experienced any breakouts yet. I'm not completely sold on the SS Concealer though....it seems to slide around a lot on my face.

If your dark eye circles are as dark as mine (Which are really purplish and bruise-like), then maybe u can try using the Bobbi Brown corrector underneath first to correct the colour then use Select Cover. I have tried tonnes of concealers and although I love Studio Finish, it can be too heavy at times. So I use the stick concealer from Shisedo. It works well for me alone or over the corrector. If there is anything better, do recommend it to me!!! I'm willing to try anything!!!

I was really curious about this Foundation, because I've never tried a MAC Foundation. I usally just wear Concealer + Blot Powder / Mineral Powder.
So I was at my local MAC Store today and the MA applied the Foundation on me. It looked good, but its a little bit too shiny for me. I think I will pass it.
But I liked the Concealer and she has applied it with the 217. I thought of you Moxy

I am not 100% sure on what bismuth is, it's some mineral? Well it is in some mineral foundations and some people have reactions to it, it basically just makes your skin itch. I don't have a reaction to it, but some people do. I know it's in the foundation but I don't know if it is in the other mineral products like the bisque. I just really like the bisque, it's a must-have, especially if you use BE.
ANYWAYS back to Studio Sculpt- I think I'm just gonna get a sample of my correct color and try it - if I
it, then I will pick it up again, but I didn't love it when I had it - of course it was in the wrong color so that might have made a difference.

The NC15 in this matches me so much better than my NC15 in SFF. To me it is a little lighter. I'm still on the fence with it as I have a very oily t-zone. But I have come to the conclusion that I must use Smashbox Anti-shine on my t-zone with any foundation. This is wearing better on me than MUFE HD. But I may get MUFE super matte loose powder to dust over this to help the shine. I do like the light feel but yet great coverage. I'll play with my sample some more before I commit to purchase because I cringe when I see them toss something away.
I'm going to have to buy the #109 now since so many are saying how great it is for foundation. I had given up on using a brush for foundation because every one that I tried I didn't like.
