new here but not new to MMU

Post by faeriedust » Tue Oct 07, 2008 2:40 pm

Hi I would like to try the foundation. Im asian with medium yellow skintone. Im getting buttery gold and warm gold as the base. Just wondering, how long can the sample bag last? Like for how many applications?
Also when you say the foundation is heavy coverage, how heavy is it? I like heavy coverage and can tolerate it. I've tried foundations which were supposed to be heavy coverage but were not.
Thanks! Cant wait to try them soon

You should get at least a week of use out of a sample. In the Medium toned range, you will be about a 1 scoop color to 4-7 Heavy Coverage Ivory. I probably would start at a 1:3 mix just to be safe. I am not the best person to ask on the heaviness of the foundation. It is too heavy for me, but I generally like light to medium coverage. I have mixed up a concealer with the heavy Coverage and It worked well.

JMHO, I found it was quite easy to get more than 5 days of foundation from the sample. They are pretty generous. I have been using it for a few weeks and still have some left in the sample baggies! I went ahead and ordered my regular foundation though anyway :)

So, you should get a minimum 5 days depending on heavy you apply it.
