i bought the studio sculpt NW15 and the illamasqua in R105, and i love them together. it matches my skin perfectly. the only problem is, no matter what i set it with it doesn't seem to stay matte :(

what powder do you recommend setting that combo with to stay matte all day? please help! <3

Nothing will set them matte 'all day'. To stay matte I like to use a good oil-control primer like MAC spf 50 (blot off the oilyness it leaves on your skin with a tissue before you apply the foundation). Set with a loose powder like MAC prep&prime powder. I then take this loose powder out with me with a brush (short 129 is great) and reset my face every several hours - or whenever you look in the mirror and see a slight sheen on your nose or t zone.

@sphirex I don't have access to a pro store so I can't get face and body in White.. Is there an alternative on the website? I'm very pale and have dry skin around the nose area so every foundation I've used, makes it go all flaky:( any suggestions? Also, where do you buy your eyeshadows/false lashes? There amazing!! You are stunning:-)!! xoxo

What if you have neither an olive nor a pink based. I know that sounds ridiculous but pinks, even the lightest are pinker than I am and same in reverse with olive tones. My skin mostly shows blue (bcuz of my veins) I have no idea what to do with it.

Help me! I bought MAC NC15, and it is waaaaay too dark for me, could i mix Rich Liquid in rf105 and that to use as an every day foundation? <3

I'd appreciate your help so much. <3

[TheBeauty4teens]

is NC15 the lightest shade in their foundations/concealers then?

[Gracew123]

do you get the full coverage foundation in a normal mac counter? or is it pro?
