Re: A question about foundation
CE , definitely Kryolan .. thats the best i have seen and experienced .. My cousin was a beautician in pakistan and prepared brides .. she showed me several brides that she used MAC on and some with Kryolan ... most certainly Kryolan was the best choice ..
it stays put for hours and hours and gives the finest coverage ...
Re: A question about foundation
My MUA used Cover Effects Foundation and I LOVED IT!!!!! My foundation stayed put for hours with no touch ups. I even went and bought the foundation later...thats how good it was!!!
Re: A question about foundation
I am not sure about which gives better coverage but for my wedding day my MUA used MAC foundation which lasted me a good ten hours. No touch up needed. My skin type is combination with T-zone.
Re: A question about foundation
Krylon is a very well known and often used brand in professional makeup artistry. I would suggest a multitude of brands over MAC (I'm no fan of MAC).
However, why don't you let your makeup artist decide what is best for you considering your skin texture, oil production, etc? There are many foundations (some not as well know), which work wonderfully on specific skin types. If you have an experienced (i.e professional), makeup artist (not an esthetician or cosmetologist though they could very well be both), he/she will know the difference.

Krolan is good for once in a blue moon application, everyone I know who has used it regularly has ended up with dark/uneven skin tone!
Re: A question about foundation
Kryolan is primarily used for the stage and film - when heavy, long lasting makeup is required that will also withstand the lighting. I think the fact that it's popular for bridal make-up in Pakistan says quite a lot about what kind of makeup they like to do.
I also takes a skilled MUA to use the right shades to match you.. in Pak they just tend to grab a light (to make you look lighter than you are) and a dark (for contouring).
I like Full Coverage - it's very build-able comes in a lot of shades. It's the only MAC foundation that doesn't have a yellow/orange hue in its NC shades. If you don't need much coverage you can apply a light layer, which gives an even look without looking made-up. Set with a good powder it should last as long as your function. I doubt many GS users here will have had experience with it unless their MUA used it, as it's a Pro Product.
I think you should just leave it to your MUA, if you're happy with the trial, no reason you won't be on the day too.

If it's about withstanding lighting/heat then studio sculpt is the best option!
Re: A question about foundation
My MUA used Mac, and it stayed put for hours. Looking at the pictures it gave a flawless finish that didn't look too caked.
Re: A question about foundation
thnx girls, I used Kryolan on my trial and was quite happy with the results apart from the fact she made me look too dark. But the Mac also looked good :s so now im stuck I want a foundation tht will cover my marks for up2 10 hours :s
also what powder do u girlie's recommend?
Re: A question about foundation
^is your skin oily, combination or dry?
Re: A question about foundation
hmm..why not use two different powders on your face then?
Re: A question about foundation
This is all MAC, I have no blush on, the glow is from the strobe cream. I started with washing my face, then fix+ spray, then strobe cream, then just primer and concealer for under eye circles cause the strobe left my face with such a healthy glow I didnt want to ruin it with foundation. I finished with MAC mineralize skin finish natural.
Everytime I plan on trying some new product .. MAC amazes me and I decide to stick!
Oh btw .. the makeup advice was by Gina cause I was lost ..when to put what?!!
Re: A question about foundation
what is strobe cream?
i also really like MAC mineralize stuff but i have the loose power one and its amazing
i use it alone for light coverage or on top of sheer foundation for weddings
Re: A question about foundation
strobe cream is a liquid highliter that u can just mix with ur foundation and thenput it on. Gives a nice, dewy look to ur face (given that u've nicely primed it :) Otherwise it will just highlite ur pores all the more imo.
Re: A question about foundation
well the steps Angelwings mentioned was
fix+spray...dont know what this step is
then strobe cream
and then primer and concealor
if strobe cream is a highlighter mixed with foundation then should the primer go under it?
Re: A question about foundation
CE I have the same skin type as you and MAC worked amazingly well for me! Stick with MAC
Re: A question about foundation
Angelwings: Was that MAC from pak? coz the one I use here makes me look yellow
Re: A question about foundation
You dont have to mix it in foundation.. you can apply it seperately! My MAC is from selfridges.. maybe the shade you're using isnt alrite ...
