I love Dolce and Gabbana "Light Blue"

I purchased my 1st products right before Thanksgiving and I love them!!!!

I have finally gotten it right. I mix Warm Tan & Warm Deep, and I get the coverage I need. I also love Well Rested, I work 3rd shift now so when I 1st started wearing it, my co-workers were like WOW, what have you done differently, I just smiled & went on my merry way. It really makes your eyes POP!

This is what I was thinking about doing. I was also told to possibly mix warm tan with warmth as well. I don't have any warmth, but I might try to get some later. I was also told that Leslie and the BE crew are working on shades for us. I think what my problem was initially, though, was that I was using too much and not using the right brush. I now use the handy buki brush and apply in layers, if I need to.

Thanks for the update. My skin isn't bad, but it could definitely be better. I might have to look into this.

Sistergreek, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Initially I wasn't liking the foundation, but I really think I was just using too much. Basically, I just put some in the lid, swirl the brush around and tap off the excess and buff it onto my face. I think the key is to buff really well.

Please let us know how it works for you!

I think I'm going to buy some tomorrow. I'm really light skinned and have a hard time finding matching foundations. They're either too pink or too light. Any suggestions on the color I should get?

I tried a few makeup brands when I was looking for wedding makeup.

MAC - Too heavy. Made me look like a painted woman of leisure.

( And I tried that makeup with 3 different makeup artists...)

Mary-Kay - Made me look like Casper the Friendly Ghost

Bare Minerals - Made me look generally ashy. And slightly off from a color perspective.

I ended up going with a local cosmetics company. Thier makeup was the only makeup brand that was absolutely perfect for my complexion. Very light, perfect coverage They're a black owned local brand (based out of Cleveland) - LaChae Cosmetics. I LOVE their makeup. I think they have locations in VA and Detroit. They also have an online presence.

ok, so, i played with it some more and i like it!

warm tan as foundation/concealer, mineral veil all over and i'm good. i didn't put on the mineral veil the first couple times and when my face got oily after 15 minutes (typical when i wear foundation), it showed.

it's pretty nifty stuff.
