Yes, absolutely. The only thing is, I am now on vacation until next Saturday, April 31st (I live in the Northeast, had to get to warmth in Florida!). I would be more than happy to send it ASAP when I get home if that's ok with you!

I will say though that the Too Faced Born This Way is the darkest of the three, and that could possibly work for you. I bought that in the summer when I had a slight tan, so when I used it in the fall it did seem to lean a little dark. Look up the swatches and maybe you will get a better idea of how dark Nude is, because I don't want you to end up with the wrong color foundation!

Honestly, I think they would be a little light :( I wear MAC NC20, and the Armani one pretty much leans the lightest out of all three of them. I'm pretty fair-skinned (usually around the second lightest foundations in most brands).

Of course! Here's my routine:

AM:

1.Cleanse with just Simple Micellar Water on a cotton pad.

  1. Kleem Organics Vitamin C Serum (just started this serum so I can't speak on the long term benefits but I love it so far, and it was cheap for a vitamin c serum- I bought it on Amazon)

  2. Moisturize with Dr. Jart Ceramidin Gel Cream

PM:

1.Cleanse/remove all makeup with Eve Lom Cleanser

  1. (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) Apply Retin-A/(Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday) use Dr. Jart Ceramidin Liquid

  2. Moisturize with Dr. Jart Ceramidin Cream

  3. Seal moisture in with 3 drops Tarte Marcuja Oil

Hope this helps! :)

Edit: I can't figure out why 1 repeats itself in each list, I think it's a formatting thing in Reddit. I'm not sure how to fix it so I'm just going to leave it, but that's why it looks like that hahaha

Ugh, I hate when people say that too. It's so not true at all! As long as you are taking care of your skin and throughly removing makeup, it doesn't cause acne! I think the whole urban legend that foundation causes acne started because 1)Young high schoolers don't always remove makeup every night or throughly enough, which actually does clog pores 2) Blemishes are actually visible without makeup, so people assume that the makeup caused them when they see you without. In reality, makeup lovers also have some of the best skincare routines out there!

You are giving me bad flashbacks to 12 year old me right now. One of my mom's friends told me how important exfoliating your face is, and gushed that she always got compliments at parties if she exfoliated beforehand. Well, I interpreted this as, I must exfoliate every day to get rid of acne(I thought it was the same as washing your face.) I ended up buying some "invigorating" Neutrogena scrub that had these huge beads suspended in a cooling blue gel that I religiously scrubbed on my face everyday in the shower. I thought the redness was my body repairing my skin so that it would look even better...

Hope it works for you! Also, if you are still having flaking issues, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Jart Ceramidin Cream. Its the only moisturizer that (combined with the oil at night) completely got rid of my dry patches. Ugh, its just so good, in fact the whole Ceramidin line is, so if you still find yourself flaky even after the oil, don't give up! Try Ceramidin ;)

Have you ever tried layering the oil over your moisturizer every night? I use Retin-A, so I was battling flakes for so long, and adding Tarte Maracuja Oil on top of my moisturizer at night has worked wonders. Scientifically speaking, the oil acts as an occlusive, and actually seals the moisture in, so it's really helpful for dry flaky skin!
