Since the brand is coming to Sephora. I thought I'd start a thread just for the brand for news and info.

@Cyncynn  thank you for the input but you had me at “I can’t find anything bad about it” lol I color matched myself online and will just get it when it launches to test it out for myself 😉 do you see how impressionable I am? 😂

[PrettyPaint]

@gonerogue  Out of curiosity, what color do you plan on buying based on your color matching? I think I would wear a shade pretty similar to yours, but I'm having trouble deciding. 

[gonerogue]

@PrettyPaint  I color matched myself using 2 foundations I normally use that match me well and got 2 different numbers. I got number 7 and number 10 but I’m going to go with 7 since the reviewers are saying it oxidizes a bit.

[PrettyPaint]

@gonerogue  Thanks so much! I hadn't read about potential oxidation issues, so that's good to know for sure. I was mainly just looking at the model photos on the PMG site, but I'll definitely lean towards a lighter shade if reviewers are commenting on it oxidizing. Thanks again! 🙂

[gonerogue]

@PrettyPaint  I did some swatching of shades 3-10. I couldn't tag you in my post for some reason but just scroll to the first page of this thread to see them. After seeing the shades in person, I think shade 3 is my normal shade and shade 5 is my "slight summer tan" shade just as an FYI.

[PrettyPaint]

@gonerogue  Thanks so much. That's super helpful to know! 

[curlychiquita]

@Cyncynn, the foundation looks fantastic on you. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm really excited for this release. I can't wait to try it!

[Cyncynn]

@curlychiquita Thank you so much - I think this will be a big hit, not that I'd expect anything different from PMG. Everything she releases seems very carefully thought out and formulated really.

[TraceyEB]

@Cyncynn, really appreciate your swatches, observations, and comparison photos. The foundation looks good on you. Am looking forward to hearing impressions of the foundation and system when it launches. I don't expect my local Sephoras to carry it, so I'll have to wait to be matched if reviews are positive.

@TraceyEB went in and looked at them the other day and was quite amazed at the range of fair and light shades. I’m not dark at all and I was a 9 or 10! It felt nice and light though I thought a little drying. Could just be me but was mid day and I def didn’t feel moisturizing or glowy. For those liking a more matte feel probably good. I prefer a more moisturizing look so will try my sample again after my usual morning routine with more underneath maybe :). 

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, this is all good to know. I'm expecting to be matched to Light 6 or Light 5. I don't mind a matte foundation - I use Chanel and BB ones in the summer - but it can't feel drying. Will definitely request samples before buying. Keep us apprised as your testing continues. 🙂

[Sunnysmom]

@TraceyEB after trying it today quite soon after my moisturizer routine it went on much better. Not as dry to me and seamlessly blended into my skin tho I always do it very very sheer. Looked pretty.  I’m prob sticking to my beloved Jouer tinted spf moisturizer for the lightest coverage I want but I can see where this will be very pretty and popular! Try it and tell us! 💞

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, that's very reassuring! I heard that the foundation is intended to be applied like moisturizer (presumably a thin layer, building where needed), and that it applies well with fingers. Glad it looks pretty, too!!

[Sunnysmom]

Oh that’s very good to know thanks @TraceyEB ! I didn’t catch that. Absolutely makes sense. It did perform great I have to say! Looked good all day! May have to reconsider my no buy for more foundations etc on it. Lol lol 

[Sunnysmom]

@TraceyEB Yes I know you will find a good color match. I thought I’d be a 5 at first or 7 maybe so I see how you would be at least a 5 or 6! I love the new Chanel still too, great formula I hope they keep!  I am anxious to try the Pat today and see how it looks and feels. First impression I felt like it caught my little feathery cheek fluff! 😱🤣But it did feel very light and nice! Keep us posted too as you try it. @blackkitty2014 you too doll! 💞

[Cyncynn]

@TraceyEB 

I am so glad that was helpful! I would definitely wait for swatches, it's great that they have that many shades, but it can get overwhelming and you never know how the shades will look in real life. I would have expected L4 to look peachier, but it was fairly neutral.

[blackkitty2014]

@Cyncynn Thx you for your review.  It looks really good on you.  I want to try this but looks liked every brand has a new foundation comes out at the same time.  Decision! Decision! 

[Cyncynn]

@blackkitty2014 Thank you! I agree, I can't keep up with so many new releases - I have over 16 bottles of foundation and very little hope of ever finishing more than 2 of them!

For holiday 2019 - Mothership quads, from Really Ree. There will also be a Mothership VI called Midnight Sun (part of which is visible in the last photo) and a few of the Mattetrance lipsticks in the colored packaging in Elson and Omi.

[StyleLynn]

These are pretty! I’m excited for the quads ❤️
