This will let you get a general feel and the shade undertones, and perhaps allow you to narrow a few options.įor descriptions and MAC ‘equivalents’ I found the descriptions by Karima to be more accurate than others I’ve come across. To get a better idea of how the shades are numbered and organised in the range, I found the picture on this site to be the most accurate. ![]() ![]() If you can’t make it to a counter for a match, here are some online resources: I know some people buy this for contouring, so adjust as required. This suggestion is for use all over the face. If I had to choose now (meaning November, cooler months and my current complexion etc etc) I would go for SX7. 10 is perhaps more medium/light.įor what it’s worth, a very good match for me at the moment is the Lunasol Skin Modeling Water Cream Foundation in OC02. I suggest if you’re light/medium to look at 5 & 7. A lot of bloggers with asian skin tone wear SX5. If your skin is yellow-based or neutral, these two would work for you. All I can say is that SX7 and SX10 are both suitable for NC skin tones. I didn’t swatch everything and couldn’t remember the differences of the shades in proximity anymore. I have both of them now and knowing I’m in between these two shades I mix them together for the perfect match. At that time (summer) SX10 matches my face while SX7 matches my neck. I got matched at the counter to SX10 but asked to try SX7 as well and I confirmed the suspicion that I can also wear it. The biggest hurdle you’ll have with the SSE is probably choosing the right shade. It’s a versatile product but one that demands a little more work to achieve the look and finish that you want. The SSE can be sheered out til you can barely see it on the skin. If you use a moistened beauty blender you can use this as is. I tend to use my fingers when I’m sheering the SSE out with another product, and a brush/sponge when using it straight. I always finish with a buffing brush just to make sure everything is buffed in perfectly. I have used the SSE with a buffing brush, my fingers and the beauty blender. – another foundation (you can fine-tune the shade of the SSE if you didn’t get an exact match. – oil (I used Clarins and this gives a very dewy finish the SSE is also the easiest to spread when used with an oil) – primer (my current primer is slightly tinted and it seems to work better than my moisturizer.) – moisturizer (I got the best results with a lighter more ‘watery’/thinner moisturizer, and I moisturized separately beforehand but this is out of habit) Chances are you don’t need the full coverage on a daily basis, and you will be mixing it with something else to sheer it out. Using this neat will give you enough coverage to hide acne and scars.ģ. If you use this straight, do it on just moisturized skin for best results. ![]() You may need more than that, or less depending on what you want to achieve and the way you use this.Ģ. That’s probably true but youneed to experiment and find your preferred dosage. You’ll read/hear again and again that you don’t need much, just a pin size. I won’t go into too much detail, but to get you started:ġ. There’s a wealth of information out there on how to use this product. contour/highlight (by using a shade lighter/darker – you can do this with all foundations though, not just the SSE) spot concealing – probably the best concealer out thereģ. full-coverage foundation that can be sheered out to a tinted moisturizerĢ. I will confirm everything else you’ve read on the internet about this cult product. Because I’m determined to post today I pulled out the SSE yesterday to refresh my memory and was completely blown away all over again. When I do I reach for my powders because they are fast and help with the shine I get when it gets hot in the kitchen. I went easy on my base makeup since starting my new job in July, often not wearing any. Other than that it seems to be pretty much the same.Ĭonfession: I started this post in June actually, and of course never gotten round to finishing it for all sorts of reasons. The brand underwent some a repackaging in the last couple of years and from what I can see, the SSE comes in a gold box now (instead of burgundy), and the label on the bottom is black (again instead of burgundy). The SSE is indeed made in Japan, not saying anything – I just found this tidbit interesting on a personal level to mention it that’s all. It has a light scent that’s somehow familiar to me, and it hits me as I’m writing this – it has the same smell as the Shiseido cold cream my mum used back in those days. The Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer is a super pigmented ‘creme Makeup/concealer’. Brace yourselves ladies cos this is looong! ![]()
