I have fair olive skin( greek) I'm seeking suggestions for foundations and powders( in particular) that would make my complexion more fair and "bequiling" ,without looking too "halloween" pasty and fake. I'm a hairdresser at a quite witty salon and i'm looking for some new "workstyle" ideas to change up my face. THanks!

Mon, June 5, 2006 - 8:30 PMalso a lot of better department stores have a sheshedo counter, that way they can match you up at the store.
the powder refil is $22 plus the one time investment of $7 for the refilable compact, so it's fairly reasonable, especially for the quality, it's never clogged my pores of broken me out, and my skin is super sensitive. -

Sun, August 26, 2007 - 7:37 PMI've never heard of that brand, maybe its not available here in canada. A kind of fake it that i use, (i have green and yellow pale skin too) is i use a clear primer, then covergirl cover stick, the yellow corrector one, and use it like a thin foundation, then use the fair coverstick to brighten around the eyes and nose then i use the rimmel translucent pressed powder. Takes about 5 mins tops and it works , at least no ones told me they could see the makeup lol. =) The key to getting the covergirl coverstick thin is the primer otherwise it goes on like cake icing. -

Tue, August 28, 2007 - 8:09 PMShiseido has been around for a very long time. They are a Japanese vendor who hit the shores of our continent almost 20 years ago.
You can purchase it at Sears in Canada, by the way. Here's a link:

Tue, August 28, 2007 - 8:12 PMI forgot to mention that the cosmetics are actually in the store and not on-line at this time. At least they were in the BC Sears a couple of months ago . . .

Re: pretty porcelain make-up
Tue, August 28, 2007 - 11:58 PMi only use the pressed powder and the color is #1 haha it's always easy to remember. for an even lighter shade, their light translucent pressed powder is also great. most major department stores have a sheshedo counter. my local macy's and dillards both have them. sephora "used" to have them, ::sigh:: sheshedo actually makes skin lightening products as well, but they're pretty pricy so i haven't tried them yet myself, haha it's cheaper to just stay inside for me at least.
