Hi there,

Where do you girls buy your foundation? I've had a look around but it's always too pale or too yellow...

Even went to the dept store ready to shell out for expensive stuff, but (quite understandibly) the colour ranges are diff from the UK!!!

Thats a tough question.

I got my last one from the body shop, its mixed with moisturizer, all in all ok, but doesn't give much coverage.

I usually get the boyfriend to go and buy, or ask my mom to send me my CG creamy natural.

I have no problem with the MAC counter stuff. Clinique is good, too. Of course this is all dependent on living in a large city. I found in Gwangju it was VERY difficult to find a good match for my whitey blueblooded skin, but in Seoul, I can.
So, if you are near Seoul or a large city, look in a large department store, but be prepared to pay through your nose (after it's been cleansed, exfoliated and moisturized, of course).

Taking a wild guess....I'm black, so I'm guessing there is no way in Hades I will find make-up in Korea. Does anyone know which cosmetic companies ship to Korea? I'm not in Korea yet so I will probably buy a bunch of stuff before I come to Korea but I'm curious....

I was able to buy foundation at a couple different places. The brand I found that had the best colour matches for a whitey like me was Laniege. I usually bought at Todacosa or Olive Young. It costs around 17,000 a bottle.
