I hope so too @CynthieLu ! It would be a good addition or maybe if they tweaked Pip in the future to be more like it!

With the holidays coming up I would like to find the perfect foundation! This issue is matching my complexion! I'm 37 and have yet to be properly matched. Help! #tinted #clean

@ladywisdom100 

Have you ever been shade matched in store?

If you can't, try the Sephora Favorites Foundation Try-On Sample Bag With Redeemable Voucher 

Or look through other response in this thread: What are your Foundation and Concealer Matches?

@Ispend2much6 thanks for the swatches. I own Petal so I didn't pickup the minis set but I want Mimi in a full size!

[Ispend2much6]

@makeitup305  You're welcome!  I wore Mimi a couple of times this week.  It's one of those shades that works with your skin tone, so it looks natural.  I'm honestly shocked that it works for me, but glad it does!

[Sunnysmom]

So many good shades for you @Ispend2much6 ! Your collection looks pretty complete! 😊 Love her stuff. 

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom  Thanks!  I haven't tried her foundation sticks in awhile; that may be a future consideration.  I might pick up the concealer while the sale is on (for one more day.)  I always get compliments when I use Nectar.

Wow, what a beautiful Westman Atelier collection, @Ispend2much6! I love seeing them all together!

[Ispend2much6]

I'm glad you like it @curlychiquita .  Being able to compare the shades IRL really helps, I think.  Do you have any?

[curlychiquita]

@Ispend2much6, I do! I own Westman Atelier Vital Skin Full Coverage Multi-Use Foundation Stick Atelier IV , Westman Atelier Face Trace Cream Contour Stick Biscuit , Westman Atelier Super Loaded Tinted Cream Highlighter Peau de Soleil , and Westman Atelier Vital Pressed Skincare Blurring Talc-Free Setting Powder Crème. I used to own Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick Minette, but I used it up.

[Ispend2much6]

@curlychiquita  That's a nice collection! 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Gorgeous swatches! These are such pretty shades it’s cool to see them in different lighting too! Thanks for sharing 🙂 @Ispend2much6

Thanks for posting all these swatches, @Ispend2much6 ! 🥰  What I learned is I apparently need Mimi.  My eye went right to that color just like it did with @sister13 's swatch! 😄

[Ispend2much6]

@Titian06   It's a sign!!  I do like Mimi; it's great for a blush that can go with anything.

Late night swatches of the PATRICK TA Major Dimension Eye Illusion Eyeshadow Duo . I'll post daylight swatches this weekend. The ones I got are PATRICK TA Major Dimension Eye Illusion Eyeshadow Duo We Need Better Lighting and PATRICK TA Major Dimension Eye Illusion Eyeshadow Duo Talk To My Team (from left to right). Talk to my team has a shade with an orangey peach base and a pink flip and the other is a champagne base with a lighter pink flip but it was hard to capture in indoor lighting.

 Thoughts on the formula- it feels incredibly thin but feels creamier than the Mario, which almost has a powdery consistency. Below is a picture of the two shades in We Need Better Lighting (left) vs two of the shades in the new Mario Moonlight palette .

Although the picture isn't the best, you can see how much more densely packed with sparkle the PT is. Ethereal eyes is more of a glimmer or "etheral" sparkle. On an eye swatch, PT sparkle seems to cover the whole eye, even when it has more of transluscent base.

The level of shimmer I think is closes to the baked shades in PMG Motherships. Below I compared the last two shades in Midnight Seduction (which weren't baked I don't think) to the shades from PT

The left two are PMG, PT on the right. My Midnight Seduction shades felt a little dry (my palette is several years old at this point) but the shimmer level was similar. I have to compare them in the daytime.

[curlychiquita]

They look beautiful, @makeitup305! Thank you for swatching! 

[Titian06]

Wow, these are so pretty, @makeitup305 ! 😍✨️💖  Thanks for sharing!

[peculiarzmakeup]
