the mufe hd microfinish powder makes me look WHITE as hell, and i'm already pale. :T especially in flash photography, i'm a ghost.

[fionaman]

You have to use only a tiny bit and blend it really well in order for that to not occur. Since silica has light reflecting properties, it will tend to do that if not blended in properly.

Could you please review the Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil and Shu Umuera Cleansing Oil? Thanks!

[fionaman]

Thanks for your suggestion but I don't own the Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil, have access to purchase it, or the interest to. Sorry.

I have used the Shu Umuera Cleansing Oil in the past and loved it.

[sammietr]

That's too bad. I guess Fancl is not a very well known brand to review. It had great reviews on MUA. Price wise, a lot lower than Shu Uemura.

[fionaman]

I know Fancl, but it's just not available where I am. I'm not using either right now but yes I stopped using Shu because of the price.

You should purchase Fancl and let me know how it goes.

Thanks, that was really helpful. I've wanted to get MUFE's HD powder but it's so expensive; I'll definitely give Coastal Scents a try! v(^_^)v

@fionaman even if i use a pinch, don't wear any foundation that has spf in it, and blend it out, i still look white.
