*new group located here: Deeper Shades
Have a deeper hue and want to know how a product might look on your skin tone? This is the place for you!
Several ladies expressed interest in having a BIC group dedicated to WOC. Such a group would serve as a central reference point for swatches, color matching and the like, which can often be difficult to find. While I have no idea whether such a group will ever be created I figured it would be nice to at least have a thread.
It should go without saying, but **Ladies (and gents) of all hues are more than welcome **

"Best-selling" is kind of a circular problem, too. People are less likely to buy a product if they never get a chance to test it.
@ElleElleGapparently it's happening when it comes from a certain distro center. Some are claiming that they're seeing samples for sale online shortly after they become available to customers. Hopefully, the powers that be will look into it and address it.
@HazelEyedQueen I suspected as much, because I was able to tell what distro center your box was set from just by seeing the photo of how it was packed. I hope they're able to resolve these things sooner rather than later 😒
It's crazy. I'm still nervous about ordering online. I ordered through JCP for the lava. Luckily, it wasn't horrible but, then, you don't get samples or your two day shipping.
Ugh I've had a package delivered to me with the proper information on the box but the packing slip and products of someone else's order; incredibly frustrating. I'm wondering if they are doing some major revamp of the distribution centers which may account for the increase of these mishaps at the moment 🤔
I have a strict no-complexion sample policy. The chance that it is a shade in or around my skin tone is unlikely. I think as expectation and colour ranges have expanded, it is no longer feasible to provide pre-made foundation samples. I'm happy to go in store and try colours/get samples, BUT that expectation should apply to all skin tones, not just darker tones.
Completely understand that frustration @bellinasf !! There has to be a way to filter samples to better fit the order/customer it's going to. It's the same thing when companies offer samples of lipstick that only work on fairer skin tones, like what's the point of sending that mess to me? Le sigh.
I purposely bypass those samples as well @bellinasf ! I'm pretty sure they have some system as far as how they add samples to orders so verifying the complexion samples they add are close to the details provided by the customer should not be so difficult. Or as you mentioned, don't include samples related to skin tone at all.
@KNC24 Brands have shown their complete behind following the Fenty release. Can't complain (or boast) now about catering to skin tones just to get that money because most of us with darker hues are fully aware of the lack of interest displayed prior to Fenty.
Lord Tarte. I had 0 interest in them previously because of what they failed to offer and this was just the icing on the cake. What has been interesting though is seeming people temporarily jump on the lack of a diverse line bandwagon only to hop right off when it was time to look at other brands/new product releases.

***Love this one as I can easily get use out of it everyday.
There are some beautiful shades within that palette, thanks for sharing @IndyQT317 !!
Thanks for the swatches @IndyQT317 ! If I didn’t already have so many neutral palettes, this one would be in the running!
Finally photographed swatches of my Pat McGrath Mothership III Subversive palette.
