Tohru Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I haven't worn foundation in a few years and I think I'd like to start wearing again. If one has dark freckles, light freckles and beige-ish colored mature skin, how should I try and match a color shade to my skin? Which brand would help cover the lighter freckles the best without going into all those little, faint lines? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 how should I try and match a color shade to my skin? I wish I knew. Not that I'm interested in foundation, etc. anymore (and not to hijack your thread :tongue_smilie:). But now and again, I would love a great concealer (dark shadows under eyes). I wish they'd invent something that would work on all/most skin tones. Something natural. Something that doesn't show. I have yet to find one. The only make up I wear is the occasional tinted lip balm. Some great concealer would be nice also. Maybe someone here can help? :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nd293 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I have large pores (and freckles) and liquid foundation tends to look bad. I've recently tried mineral powder which is labeled as a "powder foundation" and it looks better than anything I've ever tried before, and without the "made up" feeling of liquid foundation. ETA: I did buy the wrong colour at first - trial and error, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in OH Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I now buy a department store brand or Mary Kay for my foundation matching. I worked with a consultant and actually had them apply it to my face. I discovered that I spent too much on trial and error at drugstores to make it much cheaper. I also learned that there are many different types of foundation formulations, so I was able to find one that worked for me and the coverage I sought.
