I was wondering if some kind soul would post some swatches of the Cle De Peau Luminizer in Daybreak Shimmer or Twilight, or any one you have from 2022 on. Thank you!

[Sunnysmom]

I think I do @Ispend2much6 , keep you posted. 🥰 

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom. Figured as much😍Thanks! Was interested in the new formulation.

[Sunnysmom]

Lol. No I really only have the 2 in 201 and 11 I showed you before @Ispend2much6 I think plus the in-store swatches if you still have those. I can find if not. Here is 201 Twilight and 11, my older one. 

201 def has micro sparkles and more glow, 11 formula smoother and more subtle. If you want sparkles 201 has them. May not be showing up quite as much. I wish a bit less of course! They’re both powdery smooth, great, just more ooomph with Twilight. 🤩

I actually prefer the new formula @Sunnysmom, which is great news (I think.) Thank you!!!

[Sunnysmom]

Yay @Ispend2much6 ! So pretty. 😍 They feel the same just one is more subtle. 😊

The store was missing one of the testers 😢  MAKEUP BY MARIO SurrealSkin® Awakening Concealer 260; I tried to hunt it down but no luck.

@itsfi What shade did you pick up? I'm interested in your thoughts on it. I got 200 but it darkened up quite a bit on me after a while. I ended up returning it and I think I might pick up 180 next but idk if I like the formula enough to spend the $29 without a coupon.

swatches of MAKEUP BY MARIO SurrealSkin® Awakening Concealer 200 and Tower 28 Beauty Swipe All-Over Hydrating Serum Concealer with 18-HR Wear 5.0 EP . Both are slightly too dark on me but more so the Mario. I swatched them in store and I should be 180 in the Mario. The Tower 28 is more flexible because the formula is thinner.

On my hand, PAT McGRATH LABS Sublime Perfection Concealer L5 then Mario, then Tower28.

Thanks for swatches @makeitup305 , very helpful as I’m pondering the new Tower concealer! 

[makeitup305]

@Sunnysmom If you‘re similar to me in skintone, I’d go for DTLA if you want something a little more brightening, EP if you want something that’s you’re skin tone. The formula is really nice, it looks super smoothing although maybe not the longest wearing. I have to give it a full day wear test still.

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks @makeitup305 , yup I was looking at 5 mainly or 4 or 6! I need to probably go in and check out sooner than later. Despite many that I like I’m always seeking a better one! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I do like a brightening smooth glowing formula vs a heavier more matte even tho I do have dark circles. Thank goodness for correctors too. 

[makeitup305]

@Sunnysmom I usually need a corrector too. This is the Tower 28 with no corrector and no setting powder after about 5-6 hours. It faded but did so gracefully lol I’m also wearing it dotted on my face in a few spots over a light tinted moisturizer. The formula is top notch, maybe similar to the Giorgio Armani in the combination of lightweight but good coverage. **Some of the darkness might be due to slight mascara and liner smudge.

@makeitup305 such pretty Eyeshadow!

[Sunnysmom]

It looks really terrific on you @makeitup305 thank you! Also your shadow! I love to use concealer in place of tints. Great , can’t thank you enough! 😘

[makeitup305]

NATASHA DENONA I Need a Nude Eyeshadow Palette shimmers (first 6) vs Makeup by Mario Ethereal Eyes Palette shimmers/toppers (second 5). It was very overcast so it was hard to capture the true sparkle these shades have. MbM might be slightly sparklier in those topper shades (#3 and #6) but barely. ND has more shimmers (new formula) and a couple of satins and regular shimmers. Let me know if you want swatches of the whole palette or comparisons.

@makeitup305 ,

Thank you for the beautiful swatches!  I'm strongly considering this Palette!  Your swatches help those decisions so much!

[TraceyEB]

@makeitup305 beautiful swatches! It has  everything I love: nudes, neutrals and cool tones. Darn it!

[makeitup305]

@TraceyEB I know, it's hard to resist!
