I used it, I have very bad skin with scars and prone to spots, it was good, but you have to use it right. I got starter set that came with a video, but the lady in the beuty salon showed me what to do. I have seen a cheaper version on line but I didn't know what clour to go for, it is so pricey but i must get some more.

It's great, lasts ages, really easy to apply, looks natural, get some!!! Grin

Skribble · 09/04/2006 22:41

Where is cheapest to buy it as i need some more? I suspect not QVC.

Tatties · 09/04/2006 22:47

I got mine from the salon where I had a facial done. Tbh can't remember how much it was now. You could google it and see what you come up with?

I got some and don't seem to get on with it.I end up looking like one of those metallic people who do robotic dance moves sprayed in silver in the street corner.
I don't know whether it's only good for young wrinkle free skin ,as I'm 43 and have the usual crow's feetSad.Seemed to accentuate the wrinkles in my case.

Tatties snap thets where i was persuded to buy mine. I very quickly scraped of the price label before I went home.

Ggirl it doesnt sound like you have the right colour. The kit I got has a sort of bronzer type powder and i tried to acentuate but even a male work mate looked at me strang and said "ohh you don't need all that blusher stuff dear". If i use just the powder i don't think most guys would even guess i had anything on. Make sure you tap off the excess and build it up gradually. It hardly looks any diferent at first.

Yes I agree I think it's too pinky brown for my peely waally complexion.

I got it from qvc which is a dumb thing to do,should test first...oh well expensive mistake.May try again if I see it somewhere.I do like the idea of as it doesn't cause pores to become blocked like normal foudation or creams.

Yeah - LOVE it! A friend of mine who used it for years finally sat me down and did my make up and I was amazed. She swears that her skin has improved from wearing it.

outtolunch · 09/04/2006 23:14

I really like the foundation and shadows. I found the bronzer (warmth) too dark/heavy/ difficult to get right.
