Thank u! It really sux because there are so many foundations I'd like to try but they always seem to stop after they think they covered all the light shades. Its such a shame these companies are still so closed minded....
people seem to act like leaving women of color out of makeup is just like not a big deal. it makes me hate brands like chanel even if i like their other products i can work with. they have so much money so it's not like they can't afford to cater for us...apparently we just don't matter?... for me makeup is kind of always an internal struggle between 'there is probably something morally corrupt about this' and 'ooohhh pretty lipgloss' so its nothing new LOL
I bought the Maybelline Neutralizer too and could not believe how light it was! Like you, I'm around an NC45 and since it is the only real yellow based concealer in the line I thought it would work. It was just crazy. I think pink based may be the way to go under the eyes so I am going to try "Honey". I thought that would be too dark to brighten under the eye but since these seem to run light it's worth a shot.
OMG thsi video was an answer to my prayers... im kinda the same skin tone as u and i didnt know what color tatoo to get... Im deffinately getting the bronze Thanku so much
Yay! Glad you're feeling better....1st trimester sucks, but it's worth it! I agree with you on your concealer rant! I'm a NW45 and can NEVER find a decent drugstore concealer....then companies wonder why department store brands are doing so well. It espically stinks because Maybelline makes foundations for my skin tone....why not a concealer too? UGH....ARG....so annoying! Thanks for speaking out on a frustration I have too :)
Thank you for your rant about limited color ranges. I feel exactlly the same way. I am on the darker end of the color spectrum and I often feel cheated because I cannot fully explore makeup options by most cosmetic companies. Studies have clearly shown that black people are the largest consumers yet our choices are truly limited. Our money is green too!
Have you tried the Bobbi Brown Corrector for your dark circles? I use it with the MUFE HD concealer and my dark circles are as good as gone. Also, I totally agree about some brands and limited shade ranges, I'm an NC45 and it is totally frustrating! I completely ignore some HE and DS brands (I'm looking at you Neutrogena) because of this.
@annemarie6891 I agree! I used to buy Neutrogena skincare products, but I REFUSE to by them now because they don't offer any foundation options for me. It's so annoying because in their Healthy Skin commercial you can see a lot of deep foundation shades in the back ground, but they don't market to us!
I have to agree with you about the color selection for some of the drug store brands. It's so frustrating. Thanx for the review. I will try the color tattoo.
Hi! This video was very helpful, Im def going to try some of the maybelline products you mentioned. :) Random questions, Do you use Mac MSFN? If so, whats your opinion on it?
Where can I find a good Bogo Deal for the Bouncy blush and color tattoo??.. I know cvs has a buy 1 get 1 50% off..Any other places??.. I don't have rite aid in Miami,FL.. Only CVs Walgreens,Target, and Walmart..Some places ran out..hehehe..nooooo!!!... =)
Ok, I should have waited to the end to ask that question, sorry. I got the age rewind concealer, I had to return because of the awful color selection. I totally agree with your rant.
hahahah im dying right now "I don't know anybody who's going to wear this for 24 hours...unless you work on a street corner! In which case this might be perfect for you, and you might be able to write it off too in a tax return!"
Yes! I agree. The Baby Lips are SO much better than the lip butters. Waaay better.

The claims on some products are ridiculous... 24 hours? Really? Even streetwalkes don't wear makeup for that long! LOL! Great review!
