Answer 1

As a fellow sister of color, you need to go to Prescriptives makeup counter!
They are find in most major malls-in department stores

use the sight to find one near you.

as an African American, it is hard to find make up for me too. i go to Prescriptives for all my make. They custom blend your foundations, powders(pressed,loose)to match your skin color and undertones!!
they also can also determine which colors of blush, eyeshadow,lipstick, gloss, etc will compliment your skin tone.

it is wonderful. i would recommend visiting the store so they can mix your color. than after that I'm sure you can buy it on their website!

Okay Bare minerals is the most wonderful make up because it goes with your natural color. Most Asian ladies have light skin there for when ordering I would say go with the lightest tone. This is a make up that comes with a DVD to show you how to apply your make up you just bought. I bought the largest package because it had basic eye colors and all the brushes and what not. I love this make up and won't ever switch it's worth your money. I have gotten my grandmother, my mother, my 18 year old and 19 and 24 year old sister addicted!!! My mother-n-law and sister-n-law love this make up to. You don't have to worry about primer concerler and what not. To explain your questions that you asked a pimer can be a lotion or what not and yes it's used before your concerler. Remember that liqiud make up clogs your pores up. So try the all mineral make up. It's good for your skin and is also okay to sleep in it. Hope this helps. http://www.bareminerals.com there is the offical website.

I'm Asian and use Shiseido and Bare Minerals. Both have excellent selections for Asian skin tones. Just ask someone at the counter to help you or experiment yourself. Good luck!

Answer 4

1) Primer = a preparation coat for skin. It helps make skin smoother & foundation adhere better. Apply it before you apply foundation or concealer.

2) Make up should flatter your skin tone - warm or cool. Here's how to determine yours:

Warm skin tones look better w/ gold jewelry. The veins in the inner wrist appear greenish.

People w/ warm skin tones should focus on foundations & concealers w/ a yellow undertone.

Cool skin tones look better w/ silver jewelry. The veins in the inner wrist appear blueish.

People w/ cool skin tones should focus on pinkish foundations & concealers.
