I use the I00 liquid foundation from Shiseido (lightest ivory shade), and I still am confused about which one of their loose powders will work for me. What's the difference between loose powder colors? If they are translucent, why is there a shade?? I have somewhat uneven and sallow skin, so maybe I should go for beige or pink?

It depends on your skin colour and undertones. If you're more yellowish, don't go for the pink. Just match it up so that you don't look like you have a different colour'd face than your neck/rest of your skin. And transluscent means that it has a tint to it, but light can pass through it. It's like transparent, but with colour.

my mum bought me the shiseido foundation in natural light ochre, but from now on since i now have a part time job, i have to buy my own foundation, and cant afford shiseido. so what shades are the same in maybelline? covergirl? l'oreal? revlon? rimmel? natio? physician's formula? many thanks!

Ok, so when it comes to foundation, you can`t ask others about their experiences, and what is the best brand it`s extremely customized, so you have to try ALL the brands to know what suits you, and I`ll give a couple of things to consider while shopping for foundation: 1. The texture. You have to know what formula works for you, powder, liquid cream, etc.......... According to your skin, oily, dry, combination, normal, etc........So ask the sales person responsible about this. 2. While trying the foundation, don`t test it on your hand, nor your face, try it on your neck, if you can`t see it on your neck then it`s the right shade for you. And remember you don`t have to wear it on your neck, it only needs to blend in. Hope that helped. Good Luck. Good Bye. P.S. Remember what suits you doesn`t suit others, and the oppisite is right.

I wanna know how much it is befrore I walk over to my local Shiseido store. I cant see the price online.
