Lumiere Updates
Been back in my parent's house the past few days and unable to get online. There was a power failure and then our phone line went down so I can't use the dialup internet. Anyway, I'm still wearing Lumiere VV everytime I need some makeup on which is about once a day. I try to wear the same foundation for long periods too, up till night time. I figured out the right ratio of Med Beige to Med Golden is a 60/40 ratio of Beige/Golden. This matches me to a tee and is really excellent. I haven't worn Med Warm yet because I'm sort of rationing it! If I don't use primer or finishing powder my face does get a little oily after a few hours, but if I use at least a primer or an f/p (currently MMBB Photogenic Veil) then my face barely gets oily at all. I also don't seem to be breaking out from VV which I'm really happy about. I just hope it's not a delayed effect and my skin goes haywire a week from now! Otherwise I just love the texture of this foundation. I also haven't really tested any of my other MMBB blush samples yet simply because I'm still enamoured with MMBB True! I love it as a lippy. It gives me that whole my-lips-but-better effect. Anyway, I think this is all the updates I have and I'll continue with the Veena Velvet experiment. I'm sort of curious to try Med Neutral now after seeing it on geminisc but then again I got such a good match with Med Warm that I wonder if trying Neutral is even necessary.
