alright, here it is. use this thread to request swatches. the guidelines are up to you and your needs: single swatches, comparison swatches, specific skin tone swatches
when comparisons are requested, feel free to provide whatever you have of that request--i want anyone to participate and contribute if they want to. have fun, hope this is helpful !
I love seeing these comparisons, @makeitup305. Thank you!
GREAT info @makeitup305 , thank you, so helpful! 😘 Blending is key isn’t it, yours looks so good. Did we discuss your favorite brushes?! My brain. 🤦🏻♀️ I’ll look back too. 🥰
@Sunnysmom a lot of the ones I use I feel are discontinued. The Real Techniques Stippling brush is only available on Amazon now. I’ve been using the Sonia Kashuk foundation stippling brush and It works well, although it’s quite dense so I use more of a bouncing motion rather than buffing. If you have any of the Sephora Collection #56 brushes, I think those would work well, too. I haven’t tried it with any of my natural hair brushes but those will probably do a good job. What have you been using?
I have basically been using my older powder/ bronzer brushes from Chanel, Chantecaille , a Sonia one and the Merit brush @makeitup305 . So far so good. I don’t have those Sephora brushes so I’ll take a look, thanks! 🥰
MERIT Brush No. 1 Tapered Blending Brush is my newest and was gifted to me by a sweet friend and it’s so useful for a lot of things. The Saie big brush looks good too!
@Sunnysmom I think those probably work just fine. I’ve had no issues with blending at all, no matter what brush I’ve used, with any of the bronzers so far. I saw that Saie brush and thought about picking it up during the Saie sale but I’ve got so many brushes I held off. That Merit brush looks great, glad you’re enjoying it.
Swatches of the Oversized Chanel Bronzer in Medium and Deep (not that deep)
from elbow to wrist ROSE INC Solar Radiance Hydrating Cream Highlighter Prismatic and ROSE INC Solar Radiance Hydrating Cream Highlighter Glancing. Glancing is close to Westman Atelier Super Loaded Tinted Cream Highlighter Peau de Peche from what I hear. I didn't buy it but the shade ROSE INC Solar Radiance Hydrating Cream Highlighter Brilliant reminded me a lot of MJ Spotlight if you have FOMO.
Nars radiant long wear in Light 3-Gobi
Hi @Lovelaurenbeth, I was in Sephora earlier today and remembered you were looking for a swatch of NARS Gobi. I swatched that shade along with the 2 shades next to it, one lighter, one darker.
This was shot in store lighting.
Perfect swatches! Thank you so much!
Happy to help @Lovelaurenbeth. The formula on it felt nice going on.
Victoria Beckham Beauty Reflect Highlighter Stick
this is SO pretty
@makeitup305, I've been picking up VBB products since she first launched (lipsticks - they're lovely!!) and have been happy with everything I've tried. I don't always gravitate towards celebrity brands but hers have worked out very well for me. 💖
@itsfi I've tried their cream blush stick, their lipsticks, and their eye shadow pots. I love the colors of the lipsticks. I wish the blushes were a little more pigmented and long-lasting but the shade I have is gorgeous. I like the eye shadow pots but I wish they were are as glittery as Mink.
Love @itsfi ! Is it a bit gold leaning then? I was thinking a little bit cooler. So pretty!
@Sunnysmom, there is some warmth to it, but I think highlighters like the Hermes powder or the Violette Fr. stick are much more gold or peachy-gold in color.
@Titian06, I've been enjoying the VBB highlighter. The product is well named since it does "reflect" light well and gives a pretty glow. Will want to play with it more but so far so good!
