Neutral Foundations
“I'm so happy I tried this for myself. This foundation is in my top 5 favorite foundations for sure. xoxo”
Yellow Makeup
“TIP: use the beige shades on top of the green covered red spots if you find that the green ever shows through the makeup you put over it 2. I needed something to brighten my eyes/ get rid of any around the eye discoloration”
Orange Makeup
“I’m very minimal when it comes to makeup and only use a skin tint and this product works so well under it”
Yellow Palettes
“It is EXTREMELY gorgeous and looks amazing on literally everyone. I use a Natasha palette to add definition and then put this on top and it’s extremely beautiful”
Foundation For Yellow Undertones
“It doesn’t have an overwhelming scent at all, but if you don’t want any perfume on your makeup, stay away from this one. - Runs quite warm to be a neutral, which is perfect for me because I have yellow undertone and it matches me perfectly, but it may run too warm on neutral skin tones. ”
Beige Foundation
“I do find it settles into creases a bit more than other foundations but it looks extremely skin-like. But the best part is it lasts really well, and doesn’t transfer nearly as bad as other foundations that I’ve used”
Foundation For Red Undertones
“A real true cool foundation!!! Hallelujah!!!! The struggle is soooo real to get genuine cool undertone and not just “relatively” cool only as compared to the rest of a makeup line… Love the finish and the wear also”
Yellow Powders
“For example, Bobbi Brown's pale yellow powder is comparable to diffused light and Nars reflecting powder is similar to Ethereal light”
Caramel Foundation
“The Born This Way Soft Matte Foundation in Safe Caramel offers impressive coverage, providing medium to full buildable coverage that easily conceals imperfections without feeling heavy”
Foundation For Golden Undertones
“The weird thing I wanted to mention was that the shade names seem off - I was matched by an Estée Lauder beauty associate and my perfect match was Fresco, which is supposedly a light with rosy-pink undertones - I’m definitely not a cool undertone in person, more of a fair-neutral with very subtle golden undertones”
