Foundation Before and Afters

Kelly · 09-06-2006, 06:44 PM

If you dare....post your foundation before and after pics here. Also be sure to post what foundation you used.

TIP: alot of foundations, if used very very lightly, can be layered for more coverage if needed. After the first very light layer...wait 30 seconds and apply another light layer. Works great with both Mac SFF and Prescriptives, from my experience. Oh and if your coverage is too heavy, sheer down your foundation with a wet sponge application or add your moisturizer and mix the foundation before applying.

I'll go first. Forgive the various sizes, I'm no pro....actually was lazy to make them the same size.

Before and after with Prescriptives Virtual Matte:

And here is Mac Studio Fix:

Personally I like the Prescriptives Virtual Matte look the best.....

EXCUSE the cropping....trying to crop, messed up the picture quality, but you get the point.

Actually, it doesn't have to be full face....just crop an area of your face, like say the cheek and chin area....and no one will be the wiser (no one will recognize you). Use paint or photoshop to crop the pictures.

I can't wait to see others, wahoo....jump on in and join the fun!!!!!

Thank you, I have to say I agree, although the picture quality and the cropping kinda messed up how the Mac looks in real life (definitely not model material, but I'm not afraid to do stuff like this for science....he he he).

I also love my EDM (Every Day Mineral) Foundation and my Arbonne Mineral Foundation.

I'll work on those 2 foundations next.

Wow that looks really good. I was thinking of buying the prescriptives virtual matte but the SA said that they don't give samples out GRR.
I'm looking for a foundation that doesn't slide off my face after a few hours. Something long wearing with medium coverage.
