you should go a shade dark say 203 if they have it? I went to 209 which was perfect I was gonna take the shader lighter but when I got home and tried it, it was a perfect match. Try that and if it doesn't work out then return it and find another shade that would match you. hope that help..

Question
199 vs 200
I used the shade selector and it matched me to 199, but it just arrived and I think it's a bit too dark for my very pale complexion. Can someone please tell me if 200 is lighter because it looks that way on the thumbnails?

I use 201 and my sister is darker and uses 202 so i do believe as the number gets higher, the darker the shade gets. so i would say that 199 is lighter than 200 :)

I beleive that 199 is actually some type of translucent and 200 is the fairest shade for real coverage. I use 201 and am pretty fair. I think that you will be good with 200. I hope this helps a little bit.

Question
Duo Mat MUFE Foundation
I just recently bought this foundation at my local Sephora. I am impressed with the finish but I was wondering what can I do to first prep my skin? Since it's a powder, I feel that I need some type of liquid first before applying this on. The associate told me I could buy the foundation but I find that paying over $75 for foundation alone is very steep. could you please tell me if I need to buy the liquid or if this would be enough? I like medium to full coverage with a flawless, matte finish.

I would say you only need to layer it over a liquid foundation if you want fuller coverage. If you only want to prep the skin try a mouisturizer or primer before you apply this.

Honestly, one can use this alone or with a little foundation. I prefer to use it alone and it works. Try it and see how you like it.

Question
does it make you break out?
i'm hearing from the reviews that it has great coverage, but so does mac studio fix.. but that makeup just like most pressed powders look great at the cost of making your natural face full of breakouts and blemishes. will i get the same look if i use a brush and apply this as a loose powder?? and can i expect good coverage without making my face worse? any advice will help.. thanks ppl!

i love this makeup it looks natural and everyone that you know will tell you just how great your makeup looks. it last all day and into the evening with no touch ups. i have not noticed any unusual breakouts from the makeup just the usual from being a woman. lol. i know that mac is good but this is soo much better. i have used both and i can tell the difference. it will not leave you face dry or have that makeup look it looks beautiful from the moment you put it on your face. go to the actual store to have them find the right shade for you. you will love it and not go back to anything else again.

since you have the oily skin as i do use a oil-free primer on your face before putting on your makeup and it should keep the shine away. makeup forever has a great one. i can't tell you what shade to use but go into the store and have one of the girls help you with your shade. they are real good at it. and even give you a sample before you buy it to see if it will work out for you. but try the primer it's great

I honestly like the powder by Makeup Forever. Its buildable coverage and the finish is flawless and natural and also lightweight. I find that the powder is finer therefore you dont need alot and it goes on very smooth. You dont necessarly need to always stick to the powder that goes with your foundation. I'm a makeup artist and I like to venture out and see what else goes good together. Have fun with your makeup a little bit. You can also where that powder by itself on days u feel like keeping it simple.
