And then my already pale skin paled out of their lightest shade, and gradually out of every other brand I could find. That is, until I wandered over to a Laura Mercier counter in complete desperation. I had tried everything--they were my last hope! But they had the perfect thing--Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer in Porcelain. It gave me a bit of healthy glow (I'd turned disturbingly translucent), without making me look like I was wearing an orange, or pink mask. Now, even though I'm back Stateside, I'm still a die-hard Laura girl!Little Bughttp://theadventurousbug.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411093967801432939.post-16044283919212466502011-09-26T16:57:57.012-04:002011-09-26T16:57:57.012-04:00I've tried the Bare Escentuals foundation, and...I've tried the Bare Escentuals foundation, and while it was indeed light-feeling and not "mask-y" at all, I found that it didn't give me the coverage I needed. I also found myself using a lot of the product so I went through it really quickly. I think BE is really well marketed, and a nice product if you have minimal skin issues but for anyone with discoloration or scarring, it just isn't enough.<br /><br />I have not yet tried the Dior Air spray product and now have to run to Sephora stat to try it out!Veenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411093967801432939.post-58557580019145327832011-09-23T22:10:52.015-04:002011-09-23T22:10:52.015-04:00Two questions, since you're on the topic of fo...Two questions, since you're on the topic of foundations and things:<br /><br />1. How do you feel about the Bare Escentuals foundations?<br />2. The Dior Air spray product thingies? <br /><br />I have both, but I wear neither. I just went through a Sephora phase (which may have lasted a year or so) and I was wondering which you prefer.Girl With Curious Hairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07572130487626244910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411093967801432939.post-9740946830880582412011-09-23T20:31:58.829-04:002011-09-23T20:31:58.829-04:00Thanks Vee!

Luckily the nice store employee gave me some samples to try; I quite like the liquid foundation but even their lightest shade doesn't match with my skin that well, so I am definitely going to check out Make-up Forever's.<br /><br />- NoraNorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050785671028132411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411093967801432939.post-60866665318184406952011-09-23T16:40:06.839-04:002011-09-23T16:40:06.839-04:00OH MY GOD, it's like I'M the co-worker.
