Question 1

I just spent $70 on makeup, but why is the foundation emphasizing any dryness or pigment issue. It isnt covering and looks very cakey and horrible!

Accepted Answer

The first time I used the foundation I was mad and upset becuase it looked cakey, emphasized every line and I couldn't get it to stay on so I gave up and tossed it aside. About a year later I was desperate to cover my hyperpigmentation so I got it back out and started playing around with it. I moisturize in abundance, one must moisturize or you will always have lines and bad results with almost any foundation , especially if one is older. I figured out why I was getting bad results. I was putting it on wrong. One can not apply Dermable like drug store foundation.  I started "dabbing or tapping" it on instead of spreading it on. After my moisturuzer is set then I take some foundation and warm it up on the back of my hand. Then I use my clean finger to "dab"  or "tap" it on focusing on the bad areas. Then I take a flat foundation brush and dab or tap it around to smooth it out and if I need to apply more on the bad spots. After letting it set for a minute or two I take a very soft foundation brush and polish very gently to smooth it out more and spread it out under my eyes so it's not too heavy. Areas of hyperpigmentation I don't bother much after its on so as to not remove too much. I barely use any powder because my skin is so dry but I then use the powder to set it. It's beautifull. The shade and coverage is perfect and it hides all the imperfections. If you are having problems with a foundation that is celebrated by so many, it's usually the application technique that is incorrect. I am also a cosmetologist of over 30 years. I know what looks right.

Question 2

I tried the linen shade first based on the pictures from the dermanblend site. It was far too yellow. Is this more rosy/pink in the cream shade?

Accepted Answer

It was rosy/pink

Question 3

Is anyone using the colors of sepia or chestnut?  If so, are there yellow undertones in these shades?  Thank you.

Accepted Answer

For me personally the Chestnut is quite noticeably more yellow than the Sepia. More than I'd expect for only being one shade apart. I've used both extensively. I prefer that Sepia but obviously that is due to its match with my particular skin tone. I used the Bisque (the next lightest shade) quite a bit too but found that it seemed to make me look ghostly white in photos.

Question 4

Does anyone know what can be used in place of  the Vichy dermafinish color nude #25? It seems to have been discontinued.

Accepted Answer

I replaced Nude #25 with Natural #25N.
