Do you switch brands frequently, or are you loyal?
Has anybody used Sephora's new colormatch system they are touting?

I'm relatively loyal to those. I know what works for me. Ill try other stuff but always come back
Skin is normal I guess. Not oily and not really dry. And I am fair skinned but I do tan somewhat easily
Application is usually fingers for the liquids and a fluffy brush for the powders. I used a foundation brush for awhile but decided I get better coverage with fingers so I went back to that.
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

Brand? Bare Minerals Matte in Fair
What kind of skin do you have, and what kind of skin tone? Oily and acne-prone, fair skin
What do you use for application? Kabuki brush
What do you like and dislike about it? Covers well w/o looking heavy, doesn't make me break out. Kind of pricey though.
Do you switch brands frequently, or are you loyal? Loyal user of 3 years
Has anybody used Sephora's new colormatch system they are touting? Haven't tried it.
Married August 2009
3 years. 5 losses.
Our rainbow baby boy born 11.16.15
What kind do you use? (bb/dd/cc cream, tinted moisturizer, minerals, traditional foundation, other?) Mary Kay Timewise Matte Wear Liquid foundation. Then their Mineral powder on top.
Brand? Mary Kay
What kind of skin do you have, and what kind of skin tone? Dry/normal. Medium skin tone.
What do you use for application? Mary Kay's Liquid foundation brush, and mineral powder brush (I've learned not to veer from this).
What do you like and dislike about it? I love that it lasts forever! My mineral powder lasted me 2 years. I also like that you do not need much to apply and get an even look. The only thing I dislike is that the mineral powder gets caught on my "woman stache" and makes it more pronounced. So I have to rub it away from my upper lip.
Do you switch brands frequently, or are you loyal? Been using theirs for over 5 years now. I tried a few others, and they made my skin very oily and breakout.
Has anybody used Sephora's new colormatch system they are touting? Nope.

Brand? For the mineral powder, Physician's Formula. For the BB cream, Garnier.
What kind of skin do you have, and what kind of skin tone? I have combo to fairly oily skin; I get pretty slick as the day wears on. I also have olivey-tan Italian skin.
What do you use for application? For the powder, I use the brush that comes with the foundation. For the BB cream, I find my fingers blend best.
What do you like and dislike about it?
Do you switch brands frequently, or are you loyal? I've been using the Physician's Formula for several years; I'm very happy with it, especially for the price, so I'd say I'm fairly loyal. I started trying out the BB creams almost a year ago, and I've only tried 2 (Maybelline was the other).
Has anybody used Sephora's new colormatch system they are touting? Sephora is 'spensive for me, otherwise I might know what you're talking about, lol.

Created by MyFitnessPal - Nutrition Facts For Foods
What kind do you use? (bb/dd/cc cream, tinted moisturizer, minerals, traditional foundation, other?) Minerals,Traditional
Brand? Bare Escentuals, and UD Naked, depending on my mood
What kind of skin do you have, and what kind of skin tone? Fair with a pink undertone, sensitive skin
What do you use for application? I use the BE foundation brush for that, and a flat brush similar to this for the UD
What do you like and dislike about it? I love the BE and have been using it for years. Sometimes, I'm not 100% happy with the coverage, but other than that, I love it. With the UD, I like it, but don't love it. I've never been a huge fan of liquid foundation, because it feels heavy, and this actually does not, BUT I don't think it's the right color for my skintone, and I feel like I get the obvious line at my jaw after I apply it. This could totally be in my head, but is how I feel about any and all liquid makeup.
Do you switch brands frequently, or are you loyal? I'm pretty loyal to BE. Tried UD becaue of Derp's recommendation.
Has anybody used Sephora's new colormatch system they are touting? No, but I need to.

I haven't had any issues with it, other than I think the shade is off. I typically breakout from liquid makeup, and haven't with this at all.

Brand? Bare Minerals
What kind of skin do you have, and what kind of skin tone? Combination and acne, and I have pink undertones.
What do you use for application? I use a tiny brush to conceal problem areas and acne, and then a normal brush for the rest of my face.
What do you like and dislike about it? I love how lightweight and natural it feels. However, sometimes I think it rubs off during the day.
Do you switch brands frequently, or are you loyal? I'm loyal now. I used to switch around, but I found that this lasts at least 3-4 months at a time and I haven't found anything else that compares.
Has anybody used Sephora's new colormatch system they are touting? No, sorry.
