Question:
Help me, my fellow pale-skinned pretties!
I need recommendations for three products for my NC15 skin, and would really appreciate any recs for them. Non-pale people's recs welcome too, bien sur!
So, I need:
1. A great foundation.
I've been using Mac satinfinish. Whilst I'm fairly happy with it, it's nearly running out and I've been wondering if there's anything better on the market. I need decent coverage although nothing too heavy as I break out. I quite like the dewy look i.e. nothing too matte.
2. A bronzer.
I'm open to suggestion here. I use Mac cream blusher so was thinking a cream or liquid bronzer might work better texturally. But if there are any awesome powders out there, let me know (and please suggest tips for applying to avoid the muddy look and how to mix the textures!).
3. A natural pink lip gloss.
I like Mac pink lemonade, but didn't buy it. It was a tad too bright for what I'm looking for. Florabundance, on the other hand, did nothing for me. Any thoughts?! I want just very natural glossy lips...
I'd be so grateful for any advice you can possibly give me! Thank you, girls.
Hi there, fellow pale girl here!! :wave:
Foundation : I love prescriptives traceless, but they do others as well. They do lovely dewy foundations & they colour match as well, so perfect for us pales!! :D
Bronzer: I use MAC Golden, I find its perfect not over the top in colour more of a beige bronze, it can be built up though. I also tried the new Benefit Perfect 10 thingy the other day with a bronzer & highlighter, I loved the bronzer in that too!! :great:
Lipgloss: Prescriptives Moon Beam in Supernova is lovely, a one for you to try anyway. I find it very natural looking.;) I also like MAC Pinkarat, thats very natural looking as well.
Hope that helps. ;)
regarding the lipgloss you may want to try mac's underage lipglass it's slightly more pinkish than Florabundance.:)
Thank you both so much for your replies.
Dani, I'd never have thought of Prescriptives. For some reason, I've not bought anything from them before. Are they much more expensive than Mac?
Am guessing that the Mac bronzer is a powder; do you apply it straight onto foundation-ed skin or put a pressed powder in between? I'm so clueless with powder!
Shadee, that's my exact gripe about Florabundance, it was just blah! Will check out Underage (ooh-er) and Pinkrat too.

I pay around £22 for my prescriptives traceless skin tint stuff, although it looks a little tube, this lasts me round about 6-8 months. Prescriptives lipglosses are about £13.50. I'd ask at prescriptives for a natural lipgloss, they have loads!!;)
Yeah, you can apply the MAC bronzer straight on & its a powder. ;) It was £14 and a little goes a long way, I find MAC products so long lasting.
Hope that helps!! :)
