Mehron Makeup Celebre Pro-HD Cream Face & Body Makeup (.9 oz) (LIGHT 3)

I learnt about Mehron from Wayne Goss videos and for the price I decided to try it out. I have oily skin and I use light foundations or powders to even out my skin tone (without them it gets really spotty and messy by the end of day). Also I need to cover one or two occasional break-outs.My skin tone is very fair (I am always the lightest color in any foundation, except for Russian cosmetics) and I never tan. So I downloaded the color chart from Mehron website -[...] (which I highly recommend doing, because it really helps and shows actual color) and chose Medium 1 (which is very similar to Light 3, but has slightly more warm-brown undertones, while Light pallet is a bit more grayish and cooler) is and it is perfect - just my skin tone.The foundation is 25 gram and you need very little for daily usage. Personally I use it as a concealer and my regular powder over it. I can't believe how well it covers anything from pores to redness and capillaries.The ingredients are (and for those of you who think it is natural, it will be a disappointment, but remember - it is a foundation, not skincare and the ingredients are not very bad. It does not contain parabens and parfum, but has waxes, alcohol compounds and film forming agents. Overall, in my opinion, the ingredients are not bad and can even compete with some high end brands, but I would not recommend it for acne prone skin. The list in the end is for very pigmented colors, not the regular ones) : Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Ozokerite, VP/Hexadecene Copolymer, Myristyl Lactate, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Extract, Ethylhexyl Hydroxystearate, Silica, BHA. May Contain: [+/- CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), CI 77489, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 (Iron Oxides), CI 77007 (Ultramarines), CI 77288 (Chromium Oxide Greens), CI 15850 (Red 6 Lake), CI 15850 (Red 7 Lake), CI 19140 (Yellow 5 Lake)].I wash my face twice a day - first in the morning I exfoliate prior to applying my sebum and age control skin care, then I use Mehron as a concealer and put my powder. Sometimes I use it over my entire face as a foundation. In the evening I wash my makeup away immediately after coming home and in this case this foundation does not clog my pores, cause break-outs or irritation.If I apply it as foundation, it looks and photographs as a dream, I get tons of compliments. The downside is that for perfect all day look, it needs touch-ups, it transfers a bit (on my phone, I have not noticed anything on clothes, but I always put it on after getting dressed for going out, so can't say really) and I have not found out a way to make it stay on wings of my nose :) I ordered setting powder and will see how it works.All in all, if you are not against cream HD foundations, this is definitely worth the price, has almost any skin tone one could possibly think of, can be used as a concealer and has different shades for contouring and even blushing. I would definitely recommend and buy it again. I would not, however, advise it for dry or acne prone skin - it contains waxes and film forming agents, so...

Medium Dark 1 is a match for MAC NC-42It is also similar to Hazelnut in Benefit cosmeticsThis is professional makeup, so it is highly pigmented and doesn't contain nearly as many preservatives as commercial makeup. It doesn't come in a fancy case but who cares, this stuff is awesome. It's not as creamy as RCMA, but it gets creamy if you use a spatula. And its sooo much more affordable. The coverage is buildable, from barely there to full on camera ready. I have oily skin and this stuff is excellent. I use setting powder of course, but when it's hot and I start to sweat and get oily, this stuff stays on. I don't know if it's officially waterproof but I can dab my face and apply more setting powder and the makeup stays.Application tip: Even though this is for personal use, I don't like to contaminate my makeup so I use a metal spatula to scoop out a very small amount (like not even half a pea) onto the back of my hand. I use an even smaller amount of the Eurasia fair and mix the two together on the back of my hand. It warms up and gets creamy. I use a wet sponge (the orange real techniques one) and it allows me to apply a very light layer (like daytime wear). If I have any blemishes to cover (this stuff hides redness like nobodies business) I'll use the tip of my dry finger and spot cover and blend out the edges. Since it is professional, it is easy to go overboard if you don't know what you're doing. But that shouldn't stop you from trying this stuff out.PROS: I can wear this all day and not break out (MAC would have me breaking out by the evening). Good for oily skin, just be careful not to put it on too thick. It covers discoloration and redness flawlessly. The price! You can get 3 colors for the price of 1 commercial brand foundation.CONS: Hard to pick your color online.

Mehron Celebre Pro Makeup , Love the fact that it's an oil free fragrance free cream makeup foundation. As for coverage it's not a full coverage foundation but according to the description ,"buildable coverage that is non-greasy and great for all skin types."I purchased the light 4/LT4 , I have to work with this foundation because my skin tone is somewhat light and this foundation looks different depending the lighting. Although at night it looks smooth and flawless. During the day is different you have to work with it because it can looks a little bit excessive at times. I also purchased M3 Which I use in combination with L4.Over all its a great product when you're going out at night in my opinion, pix come out flawless. Posting pix of the L4 and the M3
