help me choose some products

Post by trueblue_86 » Fri Apr 10, 2009 4:33 pm

hi ppl, I'm a asian. Looking to try out SN products. But not sure what to get. I'm actually thinking of getting concealer for my undereyes, blusher and probably lip balm. This picture that i had attached is with concealers under my eyes, without any foundation etc. Only with sunblock. The concealer that I'm using for this picture is bb- warm ivory. I'm not sure what is my skin tone as well. Can someone pls help me choose the few items?
thanks a lot in advance.

For one as young and cute as you, I suggest Medium Sleep in a Jar for under eyes. I also suggest Tempt Tryst finishing powder. Chances are you will not need foundation, but the Tempt Tryst will even out skin texture a little as well as add a golden sheen. I will also suggest Berry Crush for your lip color. Peachy Pink and Frosty. For a blusher try Stardust or Charming.

trueblue,

I saw the picture, your eyes first and I was like wow what a great skin ,e specially under the eyes, so thick, so perfect, no lines, no circles!
I can't believe you need an under eye concealer. You are so lucky, so beautiful skin!

Hi JenW, thanks for your suggestion. But can I Check with u is the medium concealer closest to bb warm ivory? Because I just got mmu from other company. It's medium as well. But far too dark for me. Thanks.
Do you think climax blush will look ok for me? Thank you so much?

Hi shirin, thanks for your compliment. My dark circles and fine lines actually looks quite bad. That's why concealer is an essential for me. Maybe this picture resolution was not good enough. Esp my dark circles. I practically can't leave my house without a concealer. With concealer, it still look a bit dark. :cry:

Light Sleep in a Jar will probably be better. Climax might work for you, too. It does run a little light and is best suited to fair and light complexions. Satisfied is the more pigmented version if Climax does not work for you.

Hi, I'm oriental and Climax is a little too light for me (but I think I'm darker than you though). My fav daytime blush is Babydoll. All time fav is Carnal. But Carnal may be a little mature for you.. just my guess.
Early spring mix:
2WG+2BG+1ebony+1/4 olive+ 36ivory

H, thanks for your suggestions. I will check out the colours. Planning to get babydoll, It looks really sweet. But not not too sure if it will be too bright. Because I don't really know how to put blusher. Am afraid of putting very bright colours.

hi, I am currently using light peach slp in the jar. It covers my dark colours real well. However, it looks slightly darker than my skin tone. Is there anyway to lighten it? What about the extra light peach? Is there vast color difference between these 2.
Thanks.
