Earlier in the week Nopinkhugs and I commented that our MK foundation looks yellow.  I wonder if there was a bad batch or something.  Mine is new, purchased in the last 6 months, beige 300, and it looks horrible yellow all of the sudden.  I'm not sick or anything, look the same as usual without makeup.  This morning I took out my lighter foundation, ivory 100 and it looked horrible too!  Way too light and a slight yellow.  So I dug in the closest and found my old demos and my old color, antique ivory.  It looked better on.  Comparing the 3 colors, the antique ivory is a very different hue than the other 2.

When I started wearing MK foundation I was told that every woman needed 2 foundation, 1 for summer and 1 for winter.  So I was matched with antique ivory and fawn beige.  When they went to the # system, I went with the corresponding ivory 100 and beige 300.  Was anyone else taught this or is it something my crazy director dreamed up?
Before MK I never did this. 

When I made my decision to get out of MK, I told my husband that I would gradually replace my makeup with other brands when I ran out.  Now I really want to throw it out!  I may not be able to keep my promise on the foundation.  Or I'll use the antique ivory demo up. 

I wish I had never given up my beloved Revlon Colorstay.  I wish I could remember what color I used, but I'm sure since 8 years has passed I now wear a different color.  Too bad no drug stores have demo tubes.  I'll have to check Target and see if they have demo tubes. 

Yep, I agree--one for summer, and one for winter............I originally thought I was a 200 in winter, and 300 in summer, but the yellow just seemed a little too, well...........YELLOW!  So I tried the 204 and it was  a perfect match (is it possbile my perfectly trained  made a mistake, LOL) and the 304 is great for summer time........no lines at all!!!  I'm a neutral, though, not yellow, not pink, just stuck somewhere int he middle, so I think they originally stuck me with the 200 cause they just couldn't quite firgure it out (and they had 12 other women to color stripe also).  But, I no longer use MK foundation...........I'm on the mineral wagon now and seem to be having much success with it..........just blends with my skin no matter how pale or dark I'm looking on a particular day............sorry for rambling, I'm just feeling unusually chatty!!!

I remember reading somewhere that MK believed that everyone should have "some" yellow in their foundation. That is was more youthful and radiant.  Well  Sick.....I suppose  Sick....if you want to look like you've been eating too many sweet potatoes or carrots (like babies who eat too many carrots and turn orange/yellow).      

 

sorry, finger happy I didn't finish what I was saying!  I don't usually put on foundation to go grocery shopping, but I wanted to see if it was yellow today!  YEP! I don't know what is going on, I opened the new tube and it looks a little more pink, so I will try it tomorrow.  I just have to try before I go get a good one    It used to look really good, I would always get compliments on my skin, now it just looks like make up on me  Boo  I wonder if it is because I haven't been in the sun for a month or so?  Going in it today!  Suppose to be 79 at my house, was freezing last week!  Good ol' Georgia!

I used Lancome before I started Mk, I loved it, but I don't know which one it was.  I am suppose to go get my foundation matched at Estee tomorrow after work, but I know I will want to buy it.  I am just afraid that most of it is me not wanting to use the MK anymore!  Like when my dd dumped out most of my powder I was secretly happy inside!  Problem is I shouldn't be spending money I don't have on MORE MAKE UP!      

   I feel like popping one open today and its not even lunch time here!!!!  That Zima is haunting me, I saw while I was putting up grocerys ( I know nobody but me likes them they are "old school"  I luv em!!!)  I am talking myself into it, good thing there is only one left    .. I do have 5 captin morgans left( they are a little sweet for me!) though

Prescriptives foundation is great if you are hard to match.  I have never found a better match than that.

Also, Ulta stores will open the good old drugstore brands and let you sample colors (just ask for help).  When my daughters first started wearing makeup, they got out a whole bunch of cover girl and neutrogena colors to sample.

I have NEVER HEARD of Ulta!!!  And I always thought Central FL was a happening place!?!?    SIKE!!
