This is probably a long shot, but I would love to see a side-by-side comparison swatch of the following foundations! 1. Fenty Pro Filt'r Foundation in 260 2. Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place in 3N2 Wheat 3. Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Water Foundation in 29N Light-Medium Neutral 4. Giorgio Armani Face Fabric in 3.5 5. Bobbi Brown Skin-Long Wear Weightless Foundation in Warm Beige W-046. It doesn't have to be all 5, but if you can get at least 3 swatched side by side, it would be super helpful!!! Thanks!!!

@wareagle0223 Here’s 1,3,4, 5 that you needed, just missing the EL. I’m relatively fair, neutral but lean cool, hopefully it’s helpful! 💕💕💕

[wareagle0223]

OMG YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR @sister13 ❤❤❤ I wasn't even expecting a reply!!! I'm in the light-medium department with some olive undertones, a teeny bit of redness, and my natural hair color leans cool. I was matched in a Sephora store to the Tarte foundation. The rest of these foundations are "exact" matches according to the Sephora foundation tool. I ended up getting a sample of the Fenty 260 shade with the promo code, and I love that one a lot more than I do the Tarte tbh. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[sister13]

Oh good! I’m glad you are loving the Fenty, it’s a good foundation and if it works for someone, it really works, in my opinion! 

The Sephora Color IQ is a good tool for some an exact match, but can be hit or miss, too. For me, it always marks me as yellow and yellow foundations are the absolute worst on me. @wareagle0223 

But, the variation here also shows why I think it’s so important to search heavy when testing. It should match before blending/buffing in.

[RebeccaBT]

I said I’d post swatches of the new GLAMGLOW - GLOWPOWDER™ Hyaluronic Acid Infused Glow Palette a few weeks back but I was packing and traveling and never got the chance. I finally took pics tonight! I LOVE this palette. And it’s set up so it’s super easy to swipe your brush across multiple colors and blend different ones together.

It’s really a sheen/shine effect and no glitter. It’s so, so pretty. For me it’s right up there with my Kevyn Aucoin as my favorite highlight. I personally don’t care about the hyaluronic “benefits” of this palette. I doubt any of that is reaching through to my skin with all the other layers of makeup I have on by the time I apply this. And this does have that famous GlamGlow creamsicle scent, which can sometimes be overwhelming but I like it here. So yeah, I’m a big fan!

@starsandbucks Such a beautiful palette. I am a sucker for all things with Hyaluronic Acid. What is better than having it in a highlight?! Thanks for sharing. 

Best,
Rebecca

Gorgeous, @starsandbucks! ❤️

Hey There I'm wondering if someone owns the GA luminous silk in the shade 5.25 and can swatch it for me ?? I would like to see how this shade looks like once it has oxidized.

[jozkid]

@jennbyun I don’t have 5.25, but if you go to the Challenge of the Week thread, I posted a picture of myself today wearing it in 5. I haven’t had any real issues with it oxidizing badly on me. It seems to stay fairly true. 

[jennbyun]

Thank you very much @jozkid it looks so pretty! 

[jozkid]

Why thank you @jennbyun!
