Hi! Setting or finishing powder can be tricky if you have not had a lit of experience or maybe even several trial and error runs on them. Translucent powder absorbs excess oil and helps keep your makeup from literally using off your face! When picking a shade of Translucent powder, as in light, medium, or dark, it is very important to match as closely as you can to your own natural complexion. It also depends on what type of coverage you are needing and what type of foundation it is going to be setting, either liquid or powder foundation. Also, it's very important to know your skin's own natural current condition (dry, oily, acne prone, combination, redness, splotichiness, dull, etc...) If your skin is dry, it is noticeable through the translucent powder and can have a lighter, more paler shading effect than what it normally would if your skin is hydrated. So ladies always pay attention to your skin's health in your daily skincare routine BEFORE you apply makeup, remember to hydrate every single day and night! This all has an effect on your compexion's natural shade! You might could try 1 shade darker than your normal shade. Instead of light, try a medium translucent powder and keep in mind the shade of your foundation (liquid or powder!) will also effect the shade of your translucent setting or finishing powder. Many Trial and error runs were made by myself until I finally found a shade I loved and looked natural. I love the natural, Dewey, glowing finish! WHEN IT COMES TO TRANSLUCENT POWDER, LESS IS MORE!! LESS IS KEY!

I did a little research and found that the Nars Powermatte Lip Pigment in the shade Walk This Way - rose pink looks almost identical to the Too Faced La Creme in Bumbleberry. I also found that the HUDA Beauty Power Bullet Matte Lipstick in the shade Honeymoon - rosy pink with lavender (cool toned) look similar. I will say that both of these lip sticks are matte, but if you put a clear gloss or lip oil on top, it should look the same. I have attached pictures of the Nars and HUDA lips sticks for you to see the shade. I hope this helped.

Thanks for sharing the info on the sale @TeamBIC !!! I did pick up most of the stuff I need to replenish during the FF sale, but I am thinking of buying the Farmacy Honey Haven Hydration Bestsellers Set as a gift for a friend and I may get one of the Gucci Luminous Matte Beauty Blush ! I’m trying to get through what I have but so many people are raving about those !

personally i love the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Body Cream it smells amazing! i get compliments that i smell like baked cookies and caramel.

Thanks for the swatches! They look stunning! Do you see any dupes for other palettes or colors from other palettes? Dior just launched a new backstage palette in Khaki and it reminds me of a few of the shades from the Industrial.

replica- coffee break !
