I read them all as I am a beginner in make-up and still try to find a good foundation for myself :) I got a little confused though, as I found a few (not one) that you reviewed seem to be very good? Do you have a favorite among these? <br /><br />( I also have combination/oily skin but my t-zone is really really sensitive and has a lot of redness too! As I find your skin is pretty similar, i hope to get some advice.

There are MANY exceptions. People dont pick it out that way. There are even people who get into arguments at makeup counters because they are a cool and someone insisted they were a warm. <br /> Alot of times darker toned women like African American/carribean women have to mix more than one foundation ,everyone on earth is different<br />After years of being a makeup artist. The rule stands true. There are no rules to makeup, only rules of thumb. Nothing called "too anything".I disagree with telling anyone how to wear their foundation/blush/powder/eyeliner/eyeshadow. Makeup is subjective. Everyone has their own makeup style. Many light people tend to go light/lighter or mix it with a luminzer to make themselves brighter/radiant/porcelin like. A great example of this would be dita von teese, who even stays out the sun to maintain her light skintone and wears light foundation. Others prefer to be dark/darker and darken in the sun or use bronzer all over their skintone. Different people have different preferences. If I spelled "Horse" "Howrse" than there is no "ifs" "and" or "buts" because grammar isnt subjective. What is wrong is wrong!However. Makeup is subjective. I hate nude lips. Does that mean its right to say "dont wear nude lips" ? No.<br />I might not like it but someone else might. There is no rule to makeup. Thats the beauty of being a makeup artist. There are soo many different styles.<br /> I hate bronzer. But maybe there is someone who loves that deep bronzed look. I cant go to them and say "dont go soo deep in the bronzer" and say its "constructive". There are soo many different styles.who is anyone to tell someone theyre wearing a too light or too dark foundation, because there is no such thing. Nicole and Sam from pixiwoo(huge makeupartists in Britain) sometimes wear paler or darker foundation and it looks gorgeous! as long as people blend it to the neck its fine....some people prefer to look bright and radiant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600015989112354699.post-90211179331199696982011-10-07T19:11:01.298+02:002011-10-07T19:11:01.298+02:00Wow, tolle Sammlung!Wow, tolle Sammlung!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03177202735485476262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600015989112354699.post-22408756941935961382011-10-07T19:05:23.111+02:002011-10-07T19:05:23.111+02:00Du bist Schuld daran,dass ich mir gestern die Guer...Du bist Schuld daran,dass ich mir gestern die Guerlain Lingerie de Peau kaufen musste ;) Hast mich angefixt<br /><br />LGBombones Maloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245385896053569781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600015989112354699.post-45820996481270012242011-10-07T15:43:20.205+02:002011-10-07T15:43:20.205+02:00Wow, thanks for this post.
