Hey Marlena
I’m a MAC NC30, which shade do you think would suit me? Natural Beige? Medium Beige? or Golden Beige? Is it true that the 008 Golden Beige is actually lighter than 006 Medium Beige? Thanks

Hi I have a large pores will these be a good choice? I am currently using the Sally hansen liquid foundation and so far I am liking it. I am making lots of research that if you have large pores then i need a oil free, water base foundation that will not clog pores, I wonder if this one does. I tried mineral foundation but it just gotten worst. Also i am starting to get really into make up especially the “smokey day and night look” and i found your site very helpful. I will definitely invest on good make up brushes. I love you video on that too. Anyway i been hearing good reviews on Coastal Scents 88 warm palette. I am thinking of ordering one soon. what do you think about this palette? Have you tried it out? thank you and more power to the MakeUp Geek !

Hi Liz

I am a makeup artist also in Australia.

It varies A LOT depending on where you live, but very few people in Australia make a living purely as a high end makeup artitst. All the makeup artists I know either do it as a sideline or work behind the counter of a cosmetic company. They may then do a bit of runway or fashion shoot work, but that is not their fulltime job.

There are lots of courses around, but some of them would just be a waste of time and money. You can learn some techniques, but the most important thing I could say to you would be practice, practice, practice. Just apply makeup as often as you can! That’s how you will really develop your skills.

If you have a local department store, or makeup speciality store, go and talk to the people behind the counters there. They will know what propects for work in your area are like. They should also be able to recommend any good local courses.

Hope this helps!

Kym.

Hi Marlena,
I normally where Revlon Colorstay in Sand Beige. What would you say is the closest match with the Revlon Photoready Foundation? I was thinking either Vanilla or Shell. Thanks!

Love this foundation. It’s on sale right now at CVS–buy one get one. Great time to stock up on more than one color. Works perfectly. Thanks for the review. Since Max Factor was discontinued here in the US, I’ve been desperately searching for a suitable replacement to the pan stik.

Hey I was wondering if you have ever tried Mary Kay’s foundation?

Try looking at your underarm in natural light. Do your veins appear more green or more bluish-purple?
If your veins look more green, your skin is more golden-olive (warm) and if the veins look more bluish-purple, you’re pink undertone. Hope this helps =)

Hi, Marlena! How do I know if I am cool-toned or warm-toned? I haven’t found my perfect foundation and I wanna try the Revlon ones but I have no idea how to match my skin color to the stuff. And I’m sick of wasting money on the wrong shades!
