What are your Foundation and Concealer Matches?

[itsfi]

The Color IQ skin tone scan or online Shade Finder can be helpful - there are times when they've been spot on and other times, not as close. Sometimes, the best matches I've found have come from the Community. Please share the foundations and concealer shades that work well for you.

Hello BIC 👋 

I have a question, does anyone around my shade range (a "safe" light neutral) have in their collection the Givenchy Prisme Libre Illuminating & Color Correcting Loose Powder ?

I'm debating between 2 or 3.. suggestions? @itsfi ???

[BluePaisley]

@jaaayp I would recommend shade 3. I am light nuetral as well and tired both and returned 2 bc 3 worked much better for me. I hope this helps!

[jaaayp]

It definitely does @BluePaisley thank yooou 🤩🤩🤩

[itsfi]

@jaaayp, I have mini's of both Givenchy Mini Prisme Libre Loose Setting and Finishing Powder 2 Satin Blanc and Givenchy Mini Prisme Libre Illuminating & Color Correcting Loose Powder 03 Voile Rose. I've only used them a few times, and both have worked - #3 is more an all year shade for me. #2 works better winter to early spring.

If I'm remembering right, @Mellmars1185 wears 3 Voile Rose - is that right, mellmars1185? Also, how would you describe your skintone? Light neutral? 

I *think* @missjeanie  wears that shade (3 Voile) as well (?) but missjeanie is more fair than our light neutral. 

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi Good memory! Yes I do use shade 3. I also tried shade 2. I found shade 2 more brightening on my skin tone and 3 more blurring. I would say light-medium neutral, depending on how much sun I may get 🌞 @jaaayp 

[missjeanie]

@Mellmars1185 @itsfi Sounds like I need to try shade 2 as well!!

[Mellmars1185]

@missjeanie I think you might like it!

[jaaayp]

Thank you ladies @Mellmars1185 @itsfi 🥰 this is sooo helpful. I'm definitely adding #3 in my bag! Teehee!

[itsfi]

Yaaaay! We're definitely all about enabling being helpful @jaaayp. 😉😆 I think @Mellmars1185 has even finished a jar and is repurchsing another one - I mean, if that's not a ringing endorsement ... 

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi Yes you are correct about that! @jaaayp .It is very fine milled and great for setting the under eyes (and other areas of the face). I keep going back to it 😍

[SportyGirly125]

@jaaayp I’m light neutral and used Givenchy Prisme Libre Illuminating & Color Correcting Loose Powder 03 Voile Rose 

[jaaayp]

Thank you @SportyGirly125 ! Awesome 👌 I am definitely adding #3 to my bag rn! ❤️

I can never trust shade finder ;-;

On of my favorite concealers is Tower 28. I have the shade BH, which is the lightest shade! 😭

It works so good for me, but I am almost out so I went to Sephora and they didn’t have it, like I didn’t even see it on display. I asked an employee and she said that shade is so unpopular they rarely have it/have it on display. I tried the next shade up and it’s so orange, I’m sad 😭😂

[itsfi]

Oh no @ChickenGurlie. I see the concealer Tower 28 Beauty Swipe All-Over Hydrating Serum Concealer 1.0 BH is available online. Is that an option for you? 

[ChickenGurlie]

@itsfi  Yes that is an option for me! Ngl I kinda forgot about that, and now I feel dumbfounded haha. 

[itsfi]

@ChickenGurlie, I’m super happy that your shade is available online and that you can get your hands on it. 🛍️ Do you use the concealer as a traditional concealer or also as foundation?

[ChickenGurlie]

Depends on the day! Some days when I want a very light coverage I just use it under my eyes, on my nose redness, and across any zits or blemishes I might have that day. Some days though I will apply a bit more and use it light a light coverage foundation. Mostly use it as concealer though, as I don’t really like having a lot of makeup on my face 🙂

[ChickenGurlie]

I keep forgetting to do @itsfi, so sorry! 😂
