Sephora

I've been trying to get shade matched for a few years now @ather , it just never seems to be at any of the stores I visit. I've thought about winging it a few times, but dang... I can get away with that with a tinted moisturizer, but I'm not sure about a full on foundation. I'm sure I won't be traveling to a store for a hot minute here, but I'll be sure to seek out a counter next time I'm in Detroit or Toronto.

@MomOf5LittleMen I really like the Nars tinted moisture that was suggested below, I use my fingers or a beauty blender to put it on. Since it sounds like you weren't a fan, I've got a few other suggestions. Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue. I found this to have the least coverage of any of the suggestions I'll mention here. This one can also feel a little odd on my skin through the day depending on the skincare I use under it.Dr. Jart Premium Beauty Balm - I use the one in the gold tube. If you can find a good colour match this is a great one that can be built up. The key here is to apply it and let it sit for a few minutes to check the colour. It can go on a little grey, but then after a minute or two settles into my complexion nicely. I also appreciate the SPF in here, though it's never the only one I wear. MAC Face and Body -- This is a foundation, not a tinted moisturizer, but it's super light wearing and wears well though the day. It can also be built up in certain areas if you'd like and comes in a multitude of shades. I've been buying this repeatedly for years. Clarins UV PLUS Anti-Pollution Sunscreen Multi-Protection Tint SPF 50 Light is also not technically a tinted moisturizer, but it functions as one for me. I enjoy the higher SPF, and the shades cover a bigger range than you'd think. It sinks in well, giving a dewy ish feeling and look, without giving a lot of transfer. I happen to fit into a shade, and judging by your wrist swatches you could be a similar skin tone/shade to me and might have luck with it as well. There are a few products that I'm not a fan of in the tinted moisturizer area.... The First Aid Beauty Tinted moisturizers.... Gosh, these sit on top of the skin and consistency look like you're wearing product, as the day wore, it just looked worse and worse settling into lines and wearing unevenly. I've tried two of them and both times regretted it. The It cosmetics CC Cream felt heavy on my skin as well.Tarte BB Clay tinted moisturizer. Felt super heavy on my skin. This is a full on foundation and not a good one in my opinion. Josie Maran Argan Daily Moisturizer Tinted -- This was nice, I've liked the untinted version as an SPF, but the tinted version is too dark for me. Hope you find one you love! Let us/me know what you find. I'm always up for trying out more tinted moisturizers and tinted SPF's!

Oh it’s all so good @itsfi ! I debated it but decided to behave. Boo. Lol. Enjoy it all lovey!

You probably have keratosis Pilaris rubra faceii. use cerave products and moisturize your skin a lot! Don’t use harsh scrubs or products that will only make it worse. Don’t use too hot of water. Also when you exfoliate use a chemical one like cerave SA face wash. Moisturize a lot!!! You can find lots of research about it online. I was diagnosed and you can treat it but it’s not curable! Usually it does away with age. You can get laser treatments but yours don’t look bad enough where you would need it!

Exactly @itsfi ! I have a hunch it may be... @blackkitty2014 ?! 😘😂

Hi @BrennanG ! I have finicky mostly-dry combo skin that likes to throw inflammation tantrums over various ingredients. Here are my favorite products. Warning: I don't know which ingredients your skin's sensitive to, so I feel obligated to say that some of my faves might irritate your skin. Example: my face is very sensitive to nearly all essential oils so I avoid those, but I have no problem with vitamin C, lanolin, and a few other ingredients some folks can't handle.

Does this have good pigment @niki172 ? Good idea! I haven’t tried it.

New Rare Beauty Berry blush. It has such a beautiful slip of a feel to it and applied so nicely and evenly. Silky. Definitely a unique feel to me. Darling compact too. I love her line so far. @itsfi @Anastasiya13
