citre- OMG, I want to wear BE again because of your pics. Your skin looks gorgeous, luminescent but not shiny, flawless.

Dayna- Frisky Korat is your perfect shade. I'm glad you don't need to mix and match! But I can see why Lumiere is your HG. You look so natural but polished, you don't see powder, just healthy skin.

I actually have that one too (same shade), but I think it looks a little too pink on me, I should post a pic of it some time. BTW, your eyes and eyelashes are gorgeous!!! Aw,

Hoozey, I agree with Aileen, I think the Frisky Korat looks like a perfect match on you!

Second photo is Meow Pampered Puss in Frisky Korat. Blush and eyes same as Lumiere photo. Unfortunately the weather was very different today so the lighting is a little more "soft focus" and dreary.

Third photo same as second just different angle.

loving meow on you

Ok, this is my Lumiere Luminesse b&a

I've found your skin really must be moisturized well for this foundation to look its best. The coverage is a little more sheer than Veena Velvet, but because of that it is easier to layer for more coverage if you need it (without caking/looking powdery). It leaves my face nice and soft, not as soft as LaurEss, but pretty close. For this b&a it's all Lumiere, unless otherwise specified. Today I used Fairly Lt. Beige foundation, tomorrow I'm going to try Fairly Lt. Warm and add a pic of that here for shade comparison.

Thanks

Yeah, I guess I am lucky. I'm so pale that most of the lighter shades will work on me to some extent without looking too "off", whether they have subtle pink, yellow, or neutral tones. However I've just found recently that creamy golden beige type shades work best, I'm way more yellow than I thought!
For the longest time I even thought I was cool/pink toned, just because I was pale!

LOL. Most of the stuff I read on skintones pointed to pale with brown hair and eyes=cool, so that's what I went with. I know better now, though!

same here ,im between fair and light and i just recently found out i had yellow under tones,i always picked neutral shades thinking i couldnt go wrong there,boy was i wrong,when i tried everyday minerals(golden fair)its then i realized i had yellow undertones but it was a little to light so i had to mix it with a touch of winged butter,and light golden in lumiere works great for me with no mixing

1st pic:

Wow this is brutal. I stood as close to the window as possible to show everything: dark undereye circles, slight acne scars, scar from having the beauty mark on my cheek removed, uneven skintone

(note: I am usually a bit paler, but I applied self tanner the night before)

2nd pic: primer (Monistat Anti Chafing Cream used as Primer) and Isadora mineral makeup in "03 Light Honey"

And at last: Finished face

For some reason the first 2 pics could be resized, but I could only insert the full size images which would have been too big, so I just attached them.

 

[LovinPigments]

i had no idea that mineral makeup was soo amazing!!! it really gives you a full sheer coverage! im really going to have to try it out. as soon as i knwo my color.

 

[Karen_B]

Please Andi, you look perfect without makeup as well as with it. Your skin is lovely!

 

[blondie36]

[StereoXGirl]

thank you Shaundra (such a beautiful name btw!). My beauty mark was under my left eye..I´m sure you can see a little reddish round spot there now.

 

[periwinkle_sky]

rejectstar- you look so pretty with Luminesse! It really does look like second skin and looks like you're not wearing any makeup.

Andi- I love Isadora on you, the after pic just has a sunkissed, healthy glow. You look great!

 

[suzieiq]

I guess I need 10 posts before I can see the thumbnails?
