Thanks guys. I’m not too keen on MAC foundations, seeing it in real and didn’t like the look, so I was looking at other brands. I will be going and asking a makeup artist in selecting the right shade for me when I go buy the foundation. I just wanted to have an idea.
I read somewhere that desis aren’t olive at all, more yellow than anything, and it seems like if you show me a sample (ie a model) I’m color blind and can’t point and say ok this is me. So another question, what is the difference between olive and yellow undertones? I get yellow, it’s simple to understand but does olive mean slightly greenish undertones?
I found it VERY hard too, I just went to a MAC counter and was all like ‘I don’t know what I’m doing’, they hooked me up and I’ve never looked back Shop around makeup counters, you’ll get amazing advice and freebies!

Freebies ?!! you were lucky ! but i have to admit some people working at mac are really nice, depends where you go. i went to sephora the other day and the sales assistant gave a sample to my sister so i’m like “can i also have one please” and she goes, we only give samples to people who actually buy things. what the !!!
I hate people like that! One of my friends sisters worked at a makeup counter in Debenhams and I used to get freebies all the time, I hardly see her anymore sniffle, I heard that if you get a £25 makeover done at MAC you can also buy £25 worth of makeup (you won’t get a lot but meh) has anyone else heard this or is it just a rumour?
Have you noticed women on counters at Debenhams are so much nicer than the ones at Selfridges?!
