Using different shades of foundation

Re: Using different shades of foundation

@GlobalGal

^I would really like to be good at applying makeup and knowing what’s the best technique for my face skin since i’m still learning all the tricks. I must have watched so many makeup videos by makeup artists like gossmakeupartist and others. I’m NC35 as well in mac full coverage(it was named something different at belk mac counter). Thanks stoppit for explaining it.

Since it was called something else, I’m fairly certain it’s not the foundation named ‘MAC full coverage’. This is a pro product only available at pro stores. I compiled a list of pro stores here:

They probably gave you a foundation which gives a fuller coverage from the normal range.

You want whatever shade best matches your skin tone. If you are going to set it with MAC Studio Fix powder as gossmua does, use your matching shade in that.

You only use two (or three) different shades of foundation when you want to achieve a contoured look but subtle everyday contouring can be achieved with powders and highlighter pens.

The first step is to get a good base and figure out what application technique works best for you. I think I mention what I do for MAC full coverage in the thread linked in an above post.
