Due to my particular skintone and limited range of choices available locally (not to mention limited budget), I have issues with locating an appropriate concealer.

Ok, I'll check out mat velvet + and HD next time! Or maybe I'll ask the MA to recommend what is good for my skin type.

Ben Nye and NYX.. Hmm.. I'm not sure if there is Ben Nye in my country, but I think there is NYX here. Will have to check it out.

I know! It smells like paint, doesn't it? haha I feel like I am painting when I put it on...

Does anyone else not like it with anything but a 187 brush though? I can't believe the difference! I was going to take mine back and then saw that YouTube video by Enkore where he shows you how to just blot it (as opposed to make circles) with the 187 brush. And I tried it and WOW!!! I LOVE this now! I went to get the concealer today to go with it but they were out

The coverage is MUCH better with the 187 brush- you won't even believe it if you haven't tried it!

The Ben Nye is so much better, but I need the NYX for the colour customization, and it was cheap as could be on the internet.

So, I've been using Studio Sculpt for a week now and I love it! I haven't had any breakouts, not that I was expecting any, but still. I am very impressed with the staying power and again, I cannot wait until the new translucent powder comes out.

 

[ABB113]

I'm still loving this, too! The only thing that I'm finding is that my blush seems to fade a little quicker than it did with my BE foundation....

 

[gurlnextdoor]

i've used it twice, it's pretty nice...it dosen't oxidize like sff and sf powder....i need to get blot powder as i do sweat some...but other then that no complaints yet...

Just got back from a master class at Pro in NYC and Kari B. used this foundation on one of the models. The way she applied was using a 184 fan brush to get product on the face and the 187 to blend. Before using any product though, she liberally sprayed the brushes with fix+ to moisten them. She used mineralize skinfinish natural to set and voila! Flawless skin! I used the method here at home and man is it gorgeous!

 

[GlamYOURUs]

^^^That is how I have been doing my application! But instead of the 187, I used the 180 and the 183 for the MSF Natural. I've never seen such flawless skin on me. lol Oh and no breakouts for me. I am going on week 2 or 3 and its good so far!

 

[x.DOLLYMiX.x]

I have had this foundation for a week now and omg I love it!!!! at first I used the 190 brush and it was horrible it just sat on top of my skin. So then I decided to give this foundation another chance and used it with the 187 and stippling it not swirling it onto my face. Omg it looked amazing!! I set it with fix+ and msfn it looked amazing. I have found my hg foundation.

Same here! I'm still using my 190 to apply, but I'm going to try it out with the 187.

 

[dreamer246]

Yay for all the lucky people who did not break out from this foundation!

I just wanna ask if foundation is meant to be applied on the eyelids/around the eyes? I find that my eyes get really irritated when I do that.

i never recommend applying foundation/concealer to the lids. if your skin's irritated when its around the eyes, just use concealer there instead.

 

[*lolly]

is it true that with the stuido sculpt foundation, you have to choose a shade lighter to what you usually are??

TIA!

Which brush did she/or you use with the MSF Natural powder? THis is what I am using but not sure which brush is best?

 

[trollydolly]

I need some help! I cannot get this foundation to work for me. I've tried applying it with the 187 and 190. It never seems to set, it just sits there on top of my skin even when I dust some powder over it with the 150 brush. What am I doing wrong? Is anyone else having this problem?
