MAC Studio Fix is my choice. I had changed so many brands until i chosen MAC, definately my fav now.

 

[tealeaf]

Hi ohstrawberry,
is MAC Studio Fix a 2 way cake or foundation? Is it true that 2 way cake tends to clod pores??

 

[vone]

hi gracious,

i m using d prescriptives 1. finds tat it's got gd coverage yet i dun feel 'makeup' at all. as 4 d clogging pores prob, i find tat i hv 2 remove my makeup totally, if not my pores will get clogged irregardless of wat makeup i use.

 

[aloha68]

i second prescriptives. I am using their two way cake. Good.

 

[gwyen]

i used Precriptives 2 way cake before, but didnt like it. Preferred MAC Pro Preferred White 1 way cake. Later on, i stoped using 2 way cake cos it clogs pores...so I switched to liquid foundation. now using

 

[gwyen]

prescriptives custom blend foundation

 

[gracious]

wht abt givency, lancome or Helena Rubestein?
they've got numerous adverts in mags which I really dunno which one to get.
any comments? TIA!

 

[vone]

i've used d lancome 1 b4, but find tat it's not suitable 4 my combination skin. thus i reverted 2 using d prescriptives 1.

 

[pinkylove]

HI vone,

Which range of the Lancome were u using previously? I am having combination skin too. So, hope to get your advise as a reference. Thanks

 

[ohstrawberry]

Hi, gracious

MAC studio fix is a 2 way cake. Actually it's true that 2 way cake tends to be oilier than loose powder. But if u removes the makeup thoroughly, there shouldn't be any problems. For me, i will scrub my face twice a week.
MAC studio fix provides medium coverage but still good enough to cover my pimples marks.
You can go to their counter to check them out, the first time i bought, the promoter even taught me how to apply evenly.

hi angie,

i've tried both d maquicake uv infini & d photogenic compact. both i find not suitable. however, d adaptive foundation is gd. i find tat it gives me coverage n it helps 2 find my face fr getting 2 oily. funny rite??

 

[vone]

sorri, shld b "it helps 2 keep my face..." dunno y i type tat word??

 

[roxy_hawaii]

recently i got la prairie compact foundation it is really v.good. it has a good coverage helps to cover unseenful blemishes well and minimize fine lines even out the skin tone of mine and hlps to control excess oils. however it cost 108 bucks but this could help me go a long way

 

[cherimoya]

I've been using Shu Uemura foundation. It's very good. Maybe you can try.

 

[tobebride]

Hi hawaii,

may i know what is your skin type? Do you need to touch up your face during mid day? Thanks.

 

[babysheep22]

Ohstrawberry

I second your choice. I like MAC studio fix too. Medium coverage yet lightweight.

The La Prairie 2 way cake is good as well. I tried that before too, only thing is that the shade I chose was a tad too dark for me. I know this shop in Raffles Place can sell La Prairie stuff at 30% discount. PM me if you are interested.

 

[charmed_bebz]

im using MAC studio perfect. very good coverage and smooth application. save a lot of my time in the morning.

 

[yun76]

hi

how much is MAC studio fix?

 

[sillygal]

wooo u all use v xpensive make up leh... i am using ZA two way cake... my second set liao i find the coverage good and feels light lor...

 

[lyd]

I love Chanel's Double Perfection compact powder, fine and natural and yet covers very well.

 

[pingu]

Try ZA Two Way Cake.
It wont clog pores.
Cheap and good.

 

[friends78]

Me too! Love Double Perfection compact powder! Using it for 6 years. Smooth and covers well.

 

[reiepl]

Chanel Double Perfection is not bad...coverage is quite good. Doesn't really stay long on oily skin though. I have combi skin. I wear Chanel Vitalumiere, a liquid foundation before applying the Double Perfection Compact. I noticed that my forehead will be a little oily towards the end of the day...

How abt trying YSL 2 way cake, they got 4 out of 5 stars for the her world review recently. I used to use ZA, but found it tend to cake on my skin after 4 hours.

Mayb its becos i hav combination skin, but YSL looks great even aft 8 hours... its lasts and lasts without oxidising. COol!!

 

[crayonshinchan]

how about the MAC foundation? it looks similiar to the studio fix.. i have been using the studio fix but thinking of changing to the foundation...

 

[seiko]

Ive been using Stila IPF for years now... superfine, plus gd natural coverage. plus the shade 10 watts suits me to a T! never have i found a closer match than that.

MAC's Select foundation is great. Im also using that. now my mom is a convert after trying it herself.

 

[jazzyjaz]

shiseido, cant remember the range but it comes with spf, not too bad for my combination skin

 

[leafania]

I use the 2-way cake brand by in-2-it available from Seiyu Bugis, Bishan Junction-8 and CCK Lot-1 Mall. Very easily applied. Packaging is very modern and pretty!

It is advisable to use it together with the pressed powder available in this brand too.

 

[ublur]

i using chanel double perfection.. very good.. i have been switching between brands until my friends intro to me.. been using it for years..

 

[v_ni]

for those who buy ZA 2-way cake, how you do determine which color to buy?

i mean if i go cosmetic counters, i have the sales girls to help me choose.

for ZA, i know they have testers and the correct way is to try it on your jawline....but still difficult to see and choose leh....

i just bought maybelline, the color was a bit too yellow on me, makes me too ultra fair and the texture not too good. becomes cakey after a few hours.

i used to use body shop, not too bad, but it also gets cakey at the end of the day.

btw, what's the best way to prevent 2-way cake from "breaking up" on the skin? any suggestions?

 

[bescotti]

anyone knows where can i get shimmer pressed powder ?

 

[pingu]

You can get the Shimmer Pressed Powder at Stila.
I think Red Earth also have it.

I am using Loreal Airwear.. really lightweight but with a good coverage. Definitely my choice!!

 

[syun]

hi. i'm currently using the Za 2-way cake, but i tend to perspire a lot in recent hot weather especially when i run events.
