Heavy Coverage Foundation

Post by colie079 » Thu Apr 30, 2009 12:55 pm

Is the heavy coverage "too heavy" for everyday use? I need something a lil heavier than medium dut to acne scars on my cheeks. Could i mix med and heavy? Advice please!!

I've bought a sample of heavy and just dot that where I need a little extra coverage, but I don't find it too heavy when I do a full face for a night out. I've mixed a sample of medium with a full sized original just to give a touch more coverage and that works fine!

You could always give the Heavy Coverage a go, and if you decided it was too heavy for your tase, you could lighten the coverage with one of the other formulas (yes, the Medium mixed in would lighten the coverage a little). There really are no limits on which powders you can mix for your foundation. Some mix in Perfecting Powders and Glows, too.

Try mixing up your own concealer with the Heavy Coverage Ivory, to match your regular foundation shade. That has worked very well to hide my "undesireable" spots, while allowing me to use the Medium Coverage for my primary foundation. Lauren
