IT products cover flaws very well, but after an hour or so, turn yellow...Why? I use light as I have fair skin. Does anyone else have this issue or can tell me why this happens? Thanks!

I haven't noticed this happening...I hope it's not happening.  I also use the very lightest shade.  Are you sure it's not just a change in lighting conditions?

If you use a moisturizer or serum before applying perhaps something in that formula is causing the makeup to go yellow. If you are using something first perhaps on a day when you're just going to be at home you should try it by itself and see if it still yellows.

I haven't tried the makeup, but I got a sample of the CC cream (in medium, which is a little dark for me), and I noticed the same thing. The base color seems to have a yellow cast, very unflattering. I won't use it again.

I agree, this could be the case. It could just be oxidizing on its own, which many products do, but I find that some combinations of products cause a foundation to oxidize faster or darker.

But when my foundations oxidize, they usually turn orange, not yellow - so I'm not sure that's the case.

Here's some information on oxidation, what causes it, and things you can try to avoid it: http://lxedit.com/2014/02/04/how-to-fix-oxidizing-foundation/

Some products darken (yellow or red, depending on whether it's a cool or warm base) on me and usually means something in my serum/moisturizer/sunscreen did it.

If a product turns orange (no matter the cool or warm tone), then my body chemistry is not liking something and it's a no-go.

Since becoming post menopausal, my face is darker than my neck (which I HATE) so foundations are a nightmare to purchase AND my body chemistry turns everything orange. Body chemistry (the meds you take and auto immune diseases) REALLY play havoc with foundation.

Fun times, let me tell ya.

I watched the show last night.  On my TV it appeared that all the shades the different models were using had a yellow tint.  Maybe she uses yellow tints in the base of her foundations.  I wouldn't think a serum or moisutrizer would cause a foundation or concealer to change colors....not sure though.

Thanks for all the help. I do put Make up Forever primer underneath sometimes, but both ways--with or without the makeup still turns a funny color. I really wanted to like this brand!
