Too Faced Coco Powder Foundation Shades

Sunnycorle — Thu, 29 Jan 2015 16:59:45 GMT

Anyone have this already and can comment on how the shades run? I want to buy it but having a tough time figureing out how the shades run. Might go to Ulta to check it out before ordering from HSN. They have it paired with a Kabuki brush that looks awesome for 40 bucks.

I use this foundation and love it. That is an awesome deal for the foundation and brush. I paid I think $35.00 at Sephora for just the foundation.

IMO this foundation runs a tad dark. I generally buy medium in foundations that run fair, light, etc. HSN was out of the medium when I wanted to get this so I went to Sephora. Sephora was out of the light/medium and knowing I always use medium, that's what I bought.

It is useable for me but when I repurchase, I'd go for the light/medium.

I am tempted to get this with all 5 star reviews. Like I need another foundation like a hole in my head...

. Can I use this OVER say my IT CC foundation in a tube?

It looks like it runs dark, I wear medium/tan in most foundations. Tan in It Cosmetics CC cream. Thinking of buying the Light/medium in this because the Med/Tan looks very dark to me. I am medium complection who tans in the summer and some faux tan in the winter.

I also use Tan in celebration foundation. Want to order.

I don't need it either but want it. Some reviewers on makeup alley were putting it over cc and bb creams.

I wear fair to light in foundations and the fair matched me perfectly so I'd say it runs just slightly darker but not much.

I ordered the Tweaked too. Just noticed it when free shipping.

The Too-Faced Coco powder foundation shades seem to be a tad darker than expected. They also look warm yellow based. The texture feels pretty good, so if there's a color match for you, I would say if interested give it a try. The powder is fine enough so that it most definitely can be used as a finishing powder if you want to wear over CC and BB Creams, or another liquid/cream foundation. In fact, if used as your foundation the coverage will be sheer-to-slightly moderate. If heavier coverage is required, and you aren't a layering girl, then skip this one if you want a powder foundation.

I ordered the light/medium. I am usually a medium and they didn't have that selection so I am keeping my fingers crossed. The lighting on hsn is so different than Sephora's, I went by the color selection on Sephora's site to judge which color to order. And medium did seem kinda dark so we will see.

It is all very confusing. Some say it is light coverage, others say it covers, etc etc. I guess you have to try things yourself. I don't have a lot to cover, but I do want more than a sheer. The reviews are good so I am hoping for the best.

To me it's the same coverage as a typical pressed powder foundation, like Pur Minerals which I have used, and I don't think they are light coverage. I don't care for loose minerals but IMO pressed provides more coverage.

I don't have real skin issues that I need to cover-up but I hate sheer foundations because I think my skin is kind of ruddy looking and needs evened out. This does that for me.

I will say though that some have complained about a lack of coverage with the BE Serum foundation and I really like that and think the coverage is nice.

For me personally, I'd never put this foundation over the top of a liquid foundation and the only CC cream I've tried is IT and I thought this was too much over that. It wasn't too much for me over the Too Faced BB cream though.

Yes, me too. Thank you for the explanation. That really helps. I don't want a full coverage foundation, just something that was light to medium in weight, but definitely not sheer. This sounds like it would work. I will test it out alone, hopefully, that is all I need. I usually don't like to layer on products. Thanks again.

April I normally use it on it's own. The only reason I was putting it over the Too Faced BB cream was because I got a sample tube of the BB cream and wanted to use it up but I didn't like it on it's own.

I was on the fence about this all and finally caved. By then my light shade was sold out, I usually use light in It Illumination foundation. I ordered the golden light since I have a yellow undertone. I did see these in Ulta and they do look that they run a tad dark. I'm hoping that the golden light works.
