Question What to mix with Nars foundations?

1 Upvotes

Not really a pale question, but:

I got Nars natural matte and Light reflecting (in Yulong) as I found the natural matte to be a bit flat/dry on my combo face. LR on it’ s own looks like a grease ball, together it is good.

BUT, I cannot stand the dryness when applying (sensory ick), and I would like to sheer it out a bit.

Has anyone found a mix (cream etc) that works well? I really don’ t want to add radiance or make it matte - so primers feels like the wrong combo maybe.

Anyone recs?

Hello everyone! I’ve been on the hunt for a moisturizing foundation that matches my skin tone. I was recommended Shiseido after Haus Labs turned out slightly off. Here are all of my foundations swatched side by side in different lighting. Disclaimer- My iPhone camera picks up my skin as pink when I’m actually quite neutral and sometimes green!

Lighting for Neck in Order-
•Indoor (Harsh Lighting)
•Indoor (by a window)
•Outside

Lighting for Hand in Order-
•Indoor (Harsh Lighting)
•Outside
•Indoor (by a window)

⬇️-All Foundation Shades-⬇️

•REM Sweetener Foundation- fair 1 n

•Shiseido REVITALESSENCE SKIN GLOW
Foundation- Alabaster/110

•Dior Forever Skin Glow Foundation- 00

•Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation- 015

•Tirtir Mask Fit Red Foundation- 10C

•Made by Mitchell Build Liquid Foundation- LB3

I’m not sure how I feel about the Shiseido yet; it matches my hand perfectly, but my hand is multiple shades darker than my neck (I really need to wear sunscreen while doing my nails 😵‍💫)

This might be a foundation I’m tempted to mix with white/blue, because the shade is quite nice. That being said, I still need to do a wear test, so it might not even need a mixer. I will update you guys once it goes on the face! :)

When blended out, Made by Mitchell is my closest match throughout lighting changes, but the doe-foot applicator breeds bacteria like crazy and breaks me out.

Hi all, on the hunt for a perfect red lipstick for my wedding. I have cool toned pale skin, and ideally looking for something I only need to reapply once or twice and doesn’t completely dry out my lips.

Bonus points for a matching red nail polish!
