i have had lots of recommendations for this foundation, but need a few q's answered.

Firstly, is the porcelain shade really really light? I am NC15 in MAC and am not sure how light the LL shades actually are. Want to try a sample pot or two.

Then, when i get the sample pot, if I haven't got a kabuki brush to try it, do I need one? I have got a MAC foundation brush buti am not sure if this will work.

Then, re concealer, I normally use a cream one, so will I have to switch to a mineral one too?

And do you need a powder to set the foundation?

YOu do need a kabuki brush, if you ask the colour shade question on LL Facebook page they are very good at replying quickly, and you don't have to have a finishing powder if you don't want to. Try it without the concealor first as you can always use some of the foundation as a concealor - it works well :)

Why don't you buy some of the sample sizes? They're pretty cheap. I've recently switched from BE to LL as the coverage is better so you may find you don't need a concealer.

Yes, just order a few samples, you need to test them on your jawline in daylight to decide which is best.

The Kabuki gives the best finish, but you may be able to use a dense blusher/powder brush at a push. Sprinkle small amount in a clean small bowl (the tester pot lids are way too small) then swirl, tap and buff into skin. E.L.F cosmetics do cheap decent brushes too.

I use a cream concealer (I have really dark pigmented circles) then use the LL on top. I have tried the finishing powders but I prefer using a MAC prep & Prime finishing powder over everything.
