"sheer foundation" tinted base + ???

Post by carro » Tue May 10, 2011 9:11 am

Would like a more sheer foundation than the original formula.
Should I mix base color with:
*Ultimate Luxury Treatment powder?
*Perfecting powder?
*Any other powder?

How is the all purpose foundation compaired to the original, is it more like the medium formula?

Anyone who use the ULTP with tinted base as their foundation? How does it work for You?
How is the ratio compaired to the original white base?

I just started using a sample of ULTP and I found it gives me sheer coverage as is and doesn't effect my natural coloring as the untinted PP and BP did. I hate scratching my face or blowing my nose and find color transfer. I am hoping ULTP is the answer for me.

Have you tried the colored Perfecting Powders or tinted blur? They give sheer color. I think mixing ULTP w/ one of those is a great idea.

ULTP is by far my favorite multi-tasking product from SN: I use it as base, tinted finishing powder (with or without foundation) and night treatment.

I have been going without foundation for a while now, and ULTP mixed with Tempt Tryst (sometimes with a little Liberty) is working great. When I just want a bit of something on my face to take away the shine after applying moisturizer, I just dust with ULTP alone and it doesn't whiten me at all, and settles into my tone nicely.

Thank You, You have given me a lot to think about.

I´ve tried some of the tinted PP:s and the tinted blur. The tinted blur was a little too dark during winter. But I went to the bathroom and tried it again, and now it works better. Still think the tone is maybe a little off but applied lightly it works quite well.

During winter I thought the tinted PP:s were too dark. But I tried tempt trust agin today and now it blends in a lot better. But I think it is too yellow for my skin.
Think love lure would be a better match but that might be too dark for me. (Have not tried it). Maybe love lure + ULTP would be grat?
Have finished my sample of dait bait and will probably by a full size. But during my most pale month I can not use this all over. Think it will look great during the summer.

Maby I should bye I fullsize ULTP + sample of love lure + fullsize dait bait? (will probably break my budget :o )

That could actually work and will last you for a super long time :)
It used to be my mix for a while, either with ULTP or the untinted OCblur (depending on what my skin needed).
