I'm...Thanks - these are really useful tips too. I'm not a WOC either, fyi. I haven't liked the results of mineral foundation plus spray, personally, but I'm really picky about seeing the texture of makeup on my skin. It's just a weird personal thing. I know a lot of people who wear full coverage makeup and look great.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075243940219740263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-85033523597058513382013-08-11T23:57:59.887-07:002013-08-11T23:57:59.887-07:00...

Particularly texture--if you've got acne scars, quite often you can cover the colour but not the texture. Nothing you can do about that unless you use something with a filling texture. I've had mild success with silicate based primers. But colour? You need to go away from the big brands.<br /><br />Two things which you might consider trying--Iman has a range of foundations out there for WOC, and Meow cosmetics has the single best range of colours of foundation I've <a href="http://www.meowcosmetics.com/Foundation.htm" rel="nofollow">ever seen</a> (Disclosure: I am not a WOC.) If you go to the delphi forums linked to from the site, you can get colour help if you upload a photo of yourself with a bare face in natural light.<br /><br />If you take care with application and possibly have a wetting spray like MAC Fix+ (Oh honestly, just water), I believe mineral makeup can offer as close to full coverage and natural looking texture as you'll find anywhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
