Ok, so I have been having a dificult time finding a foundation that matches my skin and gives it a glow. I don't like to be very matte and enjoy natural looking dewy makeup (especially for the summer). I tried revlon photo finish, olay/covergirl, maybelline (fit me) and nothing really worked. Fit me (maybelline #355) came close, but it broke me out and was very oily looking (even on me and I have dry skin!). I have been using Prescriptives foundation in real ginger since a teenager (loved the stuff), but they discontinued the formulation that works best for my skin. I have extremely acne prone skin with hyperpigmentation so I need medium to full coverage that doesn't wear like a mask.

I came across black radiance in the drug store and immediately noticed that the foundation had strong yellow and orange undertones. I have yellow undertones and find that many foundations are either too red or ashy brown looking on me. so for $4 I decided to try it out.
Unfortunately this foundation does not work well by itself (it is streaky and doesn't blend well), but if you mix it with a foundation that is close to your skin tone... OMG! I have been mixing this with my prescriptives foundation in ginger (50/50) and I love the result. The black radiance brings in the yellow undertone and the glow that I was mixing. It also gives me a very creamy skin like finish (no ash or cakiness here). I have also mixed it with covergirl queen liquid foundation and it works well too. Just be sure to apply makeup generously with a stippling brush or use your hands to pat it into your skin (u don't really want to rub it in. To properly mix foundation just apply what you will be using onto the back of your hand and blend together with you finger (adjust the mixture based on your particular skin tone). I use the color rum spice

I use this product to make my Tinted Moisturizer. I like this product because it blends exceptionally well. I have never used this product as just a foundation but in the tinted moisturizer it gives a nice even coverage with a nice glow to the face.

Color 8413 Rum Spice. Summer is over and my beautiful dark chocolate color returned to its original shade. Suddenly it looked duller so I thought i'd try something new to get that orangy glowing tanned look and bought this. To my surprise it's medium to full coverage and looks great. I would definitely buy this again. This shade is particularly yellowy.
