Whoa. In that outdoor light photo the tarts porcelain beige is like you took a square cut out of your skin and laid on top of your arm. It’s perfect! I aspire to be so well matched. 🙏
Thank you so much I ordered the Huda Milkshake one! and it works great with my Virginic powder https://virginic.com/collections/powders/products/translucent-botanical-face-powder. And it stays the wholee day!! It also works with all the other colors because i like to self-tan too so my skin is always different and i have a few shades and this is reallly perfect! #helpingsomesistersout
Smashbox new shades!
Oooh! Oooh! Do the Makeup Revolution stick for a wear test. You are my skin doppelgänger (tone, texture, age,) so I wait for your reviews to see if I could use a product as well. Btw, the Idun Minerals Nordic Veil has been, by far, the best foundation I’ve ever tried.
I always had trouble finding foundation that matched my skin because I was yellow-white and everything was pink-white or orange-white. Bobbi Brown was the only company that matched me (shade 11 Porcelain) back in the 90’s. Can you show some drugstore brand options too? I can’t always get to Sephora. Thanks. Your swatches are SO helpful!
Hi Ruby, My problem is that there are very few drugstore foundations that are both pale enough for me and cruelty free. I only buy cruelty free brands. Nyx has the shade pale, which is yellow-white and a match for my skintone but the formula is horrible for my dry skin. However, you can see a bunch of the cruelty free drugstore foundations I’ve owned swatched here https://phyrra.net/cruelty-free-drugstore-foundations.html
This is such a wonderful post for us fair skinned ladies. Thank you so much for this.
Very helpful. The Nudestix melts into my skin and I’ve been told I look like Snow White when wearing it. I am curious about the Becca and Cargp Swimmables.
Bookmarked for future reference. These swatches are so helpful. Thank you!
Ohmygod, YESSSSSSSS. This is seriously helpful. I’m hella pale like you and have only recently branched out into the makeup world. Foundation and concealers have been such a huge pain, this is my new guide for brands to try out.
