Question about Perfecting Powder

Post by danderlion » Tue Apr 14, 2009 2:35 am

After reading great reviews about the Perfecting Powder, I've been considering buying it except I noticed that all (or at least most) of the reviewers had fair or fair-medium skin. I have about medium to tan-ish skin, and I was wondering if someone with darker skin has used this and what the results were. Or maybe I just overlooked some reviews, or does someone know if it'll work on darker skins?

Hi danderlion,

I think you are right, couldn't find reviews by tan or olive skin users either. How tan is your skin, or is it olive? I have olive skin, tried Love Lure, the darkest, but although I am quite olive, not light olive, it was way to dark for me, can even use it as a blush.
Gonna tryu Date Bait next.

For Medium to Tannish skin we usually recommend one of the tinted Perfecting Powders. Date Bait is a little pinkish, Love Lure is brown/bronze, Tempt Tryst is golden. Actually, though, the Untinted Perfecting Powder is translucent. It still might be worth a sample. We have a few customers that even blend the Perfecting Powders for their ideal color.
