Cheers, simplyenchantin. Makeup was too much effort this morning... would've gone natural except my skin was lookin' a little too grumpy.

Hey has anyone got Studio Sculpt? And what do they think of it?

 

[simplyenchantin]

I have it, but I've recently discovered that I'm actually yellow based and I bought it in NW20.. so now I'm unsure haha. I might go get colour matched later this week.

 

[CatsMeow]

Heheh fair enough! I'm a NC20 and using the mineralise satin finish one, but i'm looking for something with more coverage for my not-so-great skin days (like today). I figured studio sculpt might help. I can't use that SPF Select one, I end up looking like an Orc extra out of Lord of the Rings when I have that on.

 

[simplyenchantin]

Mineralise liquid looked weird on me.. I'm using face and body and its great. It's medium coverage but buildable and it covers my pink pigmentation without feeling heavy. I used to use studio fix and it's so thick in comparison to F&B. Pop in to a store and get a sample of Studio Sculpt before you buy it

 

[CatsMeow]

Yeah I'll definitely get a sample. I have red pigmentation around my nose, and I always find it difficult to cover. I use a NC20 foundation, but my concealer is NW20 and I stick blobs of concealer around my nose. Proves to be ok for the sides but not on top of my nose (if ya get what i mean).

Face and Body is MAC?

 

[CatsMeow]

Ah... just went on the MAC website to check out the foundation... hmmm... Is Face and Body limited edition? On the website it appears to indicate that it is. Hmmm.

From the description, studio sculpt appears to be similar to satin finish but with more coverage.

well today I'm not wearing any makeup as I'm in recovery mode at home...

But for yesterday (hens day) I wore:

Infamous brown dress with...

[simplyenchantin]

I know what you mean RE: your nose

It is MAC and I don't think it's LE, but to my knowledge the MAC counters don't have it, I got mine from the Pro store so it might be Pro only? I like the finish of studio sculpt, but that's because I've been geared towards "thick" and "full coverage" foundations for years coz I feel like I have awful pink pigmentation. My fave MUA is slowly convincing me that my skin is actually totally fine and that what I'm seeing is just in my head lol.

Recovery mode? What did you get up to yesterday?!?!?

Simplyenchantin' - Like your MUA, I'm sure you're skin is fine with the lighter coverage foundations!

On the MAC aussie website the face and body foundation have got the little triangle LE symbol next to them. I'm going into MAC this saturday so I'll check to see if they are there (not a pro store tho!), and I reckon I'll test drive studio sculpt! I just want an alternative for more coverage than what I'm getting with the satin finish coz it's quite sheer. 9/10 my skin is fine, but it would be nice to have an emergency foundation for the not-so-good days!

Yep, it was most definately a massive day.

It ended up at the Grand at Glenelg when we met up with some of the Port Power footballers that I know so I managed to get some photos of the Bride to Be with the guys I knew

Ouch! Hope your eye is ok, Jen.

Hey, where's Sambibabe??

 

[sambibabe]

I am here!! Thanks for asking CatsMeow

I just read yesterday's posts.. Ali, I have redness on my skin too and Inglot Translucent powder and Benefit Get Even are excellent. I'd prefer powder & coloured primer over foundation, when it comes to correcting the skin redness, because foundation tends to get cakey on me..

I took the day off yesterday - the first one in months! And guess what I did yesterday? Housework!! At least my windows are nice and sparkly..

Hope your eye is okay MrsMay!
