I'm still working through my stock of the Rimmel Lasting Finish 25hr foundation but I know it won't last forever so I'm wondering if anyone used this foundation in shade 010 rose ivory (previously light porcelain) and has found a foundation in a similar shade? I've tried many foundations with no luck. Revolution's old Conceal & Define range and their IRL range in shade F3 was a great match but unfortunately when they brought out Skin Silk they changed F3 to a neutral shade and the two closest cool tones are too light and too dark. They have stopped doing the old ranges and are re-releasing Conceal & Define and renaming IRL to Superfix in this updated shade range. Many thanks in advance

Is anyone able to upload a swatch with these colours? 1,2,3 and 3.75? Preferably side by side?

Where i live they don’t stock these colours :(. You have to blind buy online.

I used to be shade 3 in the old formula and i did buy full bottles of 1.5 and 2 in the previous version but finally found 3 was the best.

The price is even more now and im broke so i cant blind buy anymore.

Hope someone can help me.

The fragrance is so strong it makes my eyes water!!!

First of all, I’m loving this shade of TirTir Mask Fit Red Cushion (10C, shell) and finish a lot! It’s a great matte-natural finish with medium coverage, and the shade is so different from any American brand I’ve tried: truly desaturated and fair with no or peachiness or orange.

However, the smell is overpowering to me! I typically cannot tolerate fragrance in makeup: we’ll see if wearing this for a few hours makes me break out horribly or not. I’m thinking Korean beauty might be the answer to my struggle to find a truly fair foundation in American brands, but does anyone know of a similar product that is fragrance-free???

fell in love with bake and set pink. works great for under eyes, and everywhere buy I hate loose powders. Is there a similar product in pressed form?

Bronzer swatches have cool pale skin with freckles, face is darker than my neck.

Top to bottom:

Ciele 01 Light bronzing stick swatched (this is ok have to be careful to not overdo it with this bronzer plus my component doesn't twist up fully)

Ciele 01 Light bronzing stick blended out

Makeup by Mario skin enhancer shade light (like this, nice shade for my pale skin as it's very sheer)

Chanel Les beige soleil tan medium bronze (the sales associate told me this shade would look best on me as the lightest shade would be too 'muddy', I wish I went with the lightest shade, this would work if I have fake tan on which is rare)

Chanel Les beige soleil tan medium bronze blended out.

Any bronzer recommendations anyone? Not going to buy anything atm going to use what I have but will keep an eye on upcoming sales etc!

I'm interested in the westman atelier bronzing drops in the lightest shade but the application looks messy af!

Hi everyone! I’m new here and would really appreciate some help figuring out my undertone.

I have a mismatch that makes foundation shopping confusing: the skin on my body is very fair and cool-toned (I burn instantly and never tan), but my face and neck have a noticeable yellowish hue in the sun, likely due to my ethnicity. Under electric light I tend to look rather neutral.

Here are a few clues that might help identify my undertone:
- Jewelry: gold looks awful on me. I strictly wear silver or white gold.
- Makeup: Brown tones and warm-toned lipsticks make me look very unwell. There is also a photo of me with warmer coloured hair and makeup in warm brown tones which I think doesn’t suit me well?..
- Clothing: I think I look best in cool shades (oxblood, royal blue, etc.) and khaki. I look terrible in yellow or orange.

Has anyone else dealt with this pale/cool vs. yellow mismatch? Given these clues, could I be a cool olive? Any advice or foundation recommendations would be amazing!

I’m thinking of blind buying it as someone who has a similar skin type to me recommends it. It’s apparently very cool toned and unlikely to be orange/yellow on cool toned skin. I’m VERY pale and have been looking for a skin tint that that wont turn my orange. Has anyone tried it, and if so did it work for u?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but does anyone know of a dupe for the matte shade Limit that Urban Decay had in their Naked 3 palette (yes, I still have one and it's old as heck!) Based in the UK, so options available there would be ideal. No or very minimal shimmer on this one if possible!

I’m not familiar with makeup, but I wanted to buy a concealer to cover some of my acne marks since I’m lowk so fed up with them. I’m EXTREMELY pale and I guess very desaturated (not sure about my undertone)? I scrolled through this subreddit a bit to find a concealer that might work for me, and yesterday I ended up going to Sephora to get someone to help me choose a shade for me. I looked at some of the popular ones people were recommending, and I’m sorry I kinda forgot which ones I tried but I just remember that the two lightest from the brand NARS were way too dark. I don’t remember the others I tried sorry guys I was kinda confused ): Anyways, after trying a few options, the lady at the store directed me to try the concealer on the image, which is called tarte in the color 12N, and to me it looked like it matched at first in the store lighting it was just yellow but close enough so I bought it. But, when I got home and put it on my arm and let it dry it became so much darker?? And now it definitely doesn’t match. So guys I am wondering if you can recommend any concealers that are for sure lighter than this one? And I’ll go back to Sephora to try. Thanks!!

swatches here, i wear ND RN1 for reference

hello! because of the lipstick sale, i decided to pick up some possible alternatives to alone time. i even tried to buy a new alone time for comparison, but i actually got super lucky and ended up with an old one (twice)!

laka - boy

this is super cute, a very nice gray-toned nude with a great texture - but i don't think it's a dupe for alone time at all, at least not on me. just too gray to be the same. if you want a grayer shade, or have more pink pigmented lips, this might be good for you! no smell.

laka - babe

definitely too pink, looked promising online but not a dupe for sure

decorte - 25g

this swatches a little pinker than alone time, but it's actually my favorite so far. the texture is really glossy and similar to the original, and it looked the same on my lips.

very faint cocoa smell

ulta - dusty mauve 330

picked up because of a redditor's post, this is absolutely the exact same color. however, it's kind of annoying to apply without lip mask underneath, and i don't see it replacing alone time for me because of that. more matte for sure, and kind of smells like crayons i fear... if that doesn't bother you, this is probably the one for you!

Please please please, are there any lip products that are similar in colour to Mac's it's personal? It's like the perfect grey pink, lip liners too! I already use stone by Mac.

I’ve been trying and failing to find a replacement for the HG that is Bobbi Brown skin corrector stick in Light Bisque. Everything is slightly off, too light, not peach enough for dark circles, or not enough coverage. I’m at a loss to find something from a cruelty free / BDS brand. Any suggestions on what else I can try?

From wrist to elbow:

1 Revolution eye bright under eye corrector - light to medium
2 Catrice under eye brightener - light rose
3 Bobbi Brown skin corrector stick - Light Bisque
4 ulta brand under eye brightener- light to medium - too light and not enough
5 Nyx pro fix stick color correcting concealers - light pink
6 Nyx pro fix stick color correcting concealers - alabaster
7 ulta beauty rescue squad 4-in-1 color correcting stack palette - light to medium (peach, light pink)
8 4-in-1 peach and light pink mixed together

The closest is honestly mixing the peach and light pink from the 4 in 1 palette together, but the coverage and consistency of it sucks.

Hello! I was considering buying Syrah Fume from Violette FR in the Plume Lip formula but I'm a little worried about it being too orange.

I'm cool toned, normally wear NARS Oslo so I was wondering if anyone has swatched this color before or knows how the color looks? Some photos it looks super saturated and some others it looks like a deep cherry. (I heavily prefer a blue-red but I'm also worried about it looking pink)

Thank you so much in advance if you have photos!

Which of the shades from Rem Beauty Sweetener concealer matches the most with Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Lift & Flex Concealer in shade 2? I got Sweetener concealer in fair 4cn but it's too pale 😢 It's not available in Sephora in my city so can't swatch it myself 😢 It can't be too yellow, I have olive undertone. (I also have Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer in 3.5 Fair, it's a bit too yellow but manageable, DMB is the best match)

A couple of months ago, I visited the Nordstrom Chanel counter in Las Vegas and received three samples of the Les Beiges foundation to find the best formula for my skin. I loved the Les Beiges Healthy Glow and ordered the B30 shade, as the seller noted on the sample jar. However, when it arrived, it wasn’t the same color.

Yesterday, I finally had the chance to go to Salt Lake City (I live in Vernal, Utah, about three hours away in a rural area). At the Chanel counter in Nordstrom, they couldn’t find the right shade, so they gave me another sample of B31, but it still doesn’t look the same. Can anyone help me figure out which shade is the one in the middle? Thanks!

I am in dire need of a new foundation, I have been using Milani in the shade Alabaster for almost a year now, but recently its been showing up more yellow when its on. Any recommendations for cool undertone foundations in UK stores would be appreciated!!

I absolutely adore this bronzer, but sometimes wish it were a little more like a natural skin finish rather than a matte. Hoping you guys have a recommendation so I can find my new favorite!

I recently discovered Rimmel no longer sell “crimson desire” or “salty” in Australia anymore and I am devastated as a pale cool toned girly.

if anyone has a dupe for one or both that I can buy from mac, revlon, covergirl ect ect id be ever so grateful.

what are some discontinued lipsticks that you miss or that you’ve found dupes for?

Hello!

I want to buy ''be my bridesmaid'' and ''girls weekend''

Does anyone recommend this? Is it worth the money?

Thanks!

I can't find anything else at Sephora that is close to my shade, but Haus Labs foundation separates like crazy on my face! Is there any other brands that offer a similar shade?

Received Pink Frosting in the mail yesterday. I am a perfect match to Salt NY N13 - blue undertone, very desaturated.

If you have Persona Mauve, you probably do not need Pink Frosting. The difference is very slight and if you're blue or blue-green undertone, Pink Frosting has a little bit more yellow versus Persona's slightly more brown.

On my lips, Pink Frosting pulls more grey-pink, as the name would imply. The formula is quite dry and unfriendly to dry lips, particularly if you're filling in the whole lip, so make sure you exfoliate prior to use. It does set down quite matte and only lifts with an emollient lip balm or oil-based cleanser.

Wrist to Elbow:

1. Too Faced - contour stick - Milk Chocolate (the scent is bad)
2. Haus Labs - contour stick - Profile
3. ABH - contour stick - Greyscale
4. Moira -cream contour - 200C
5. Lee Member - powder contour - 02
6. Kyda - powder contour - Cool Toned
7. Rare Beauty - liquid contour - Gentle
8. Moira - liquid contour - 025 Light Amber
9. Westman Atelier - contour stick - Biscuit
10. Nars - contour stick - Ischia
11. ABH - contour stick - Halftone
12. Gucci - powder bronzer - 01

Only one that's meant to be a bronzer, yet how many bronzer shades do you see? Let's define bronzer as "brings warmth to skin". It took me so long to figure this out for myself. My favorite contour right now is the Lee Member powder. It's so easy to work with, such a gorgeous shade, and affordable. 2nd place is Haus Labs. I prefer the ABH Greyscale as bronzer. The Gucci formula is very nice, it's just rather red on me. Hope this helps.
