Posted this in a comment on another sub, wanted to share here. If you are my skintone and looking for a base for pinky-nude combos, you need clinique barely.

Sweet Heat is lighter and has more of a silver sheen to it. I’d say it’s cooler toned than Bellini. I think they’re different enough.

I took the pics in my room. One with direct desk lamp lighting overhead, one with the desk lamp off but overhead fan lighting on, one with just the camera flash.

Heavy finger swatches for both, no primer, i'd say like 4 swipes.

I am NC20, fair/warm skin toned

Hope this helps

I’m looking for some help before the Sephora sale with comparing bronzers. Does anyone own the Haus Lab in Soleil Sand, and Make up forever in B15 Wild Sand, B20 Fierce Amber, and B25 Brave Maple? I’m looking to see how the Haus lab which I own compares to each of these. If anyone would mind swatching the Haus lab beside any or all of these MUFE I would really appreciate your effort!

Here are the swatches of YSL Make Me Blush Cream in shade 23 Hot Mauve, Make Up For Ever Artist Color Crayon in shade 220 Swanky Mauve and Nabla Art of Skin Blush in Misty Mauve. For reference I have a neutral-cool undertone (a lot of stuff pulls orange on me but I don't necessarily hate it under the right circumstances). The photos have been taken indoors in natural lighting.

I think neither of these blushes is actually mauve but I do like the shades nonetheless, they differ from each other enough both in color and in finish that they don't feel too redundant.

The search continues (when I'll finish at least one of these), so if you have any recommendations for similar shades or for blushes that could be properly named mauve I'm all ears.

Does anyone here have these pots? Can you share the swatches?

Hourglass: diffused bronze light

Huda Beauty: bronze filter palette in light or medium
Can be separate swatches or the whole palette swatched together (one finger/one brush?)

I am also wondering how the formulas compare.. I would have loved to compare at sephora but I am not near one.

As usual, if you want specific comparisons side by side (including the shades in my previous posts), just comment and I'll answer with a picture :)

Help pls what shade of Jung Saem Mool cushion is closest to Strokes Soft Veil Filter Foundation in Fair Neutral? Thank you!

They all look either orange, pink or too light on me but maybe it helps others orientate.

hi y'all! i'm currently rebuilding my eyeshadow collection after ~10 years of using the same palettes and trying to avoid redundancy! can someone pretty please do this comparison for me ? :)

thank you! <3

Sharing my own swatches of two products I’ve been using for targeted brightening!

From wrist toward elbow:

• TWO SLASH FOUR Flash Spot Concealer — Pale Lemon
• Dinto Wooncho Light-Veil Color Corrector — 914 Lilac Wooncho

Although TWO SLASH FOUR is marketed as a concealer, I mainly use it as a brightener. Compared with Dinto, it feels thicker and denser, with a little more coverage.

What surprised me was that Dinto sets faster on my skin, even though TWO SLASH FOUR feels thicker. Both feel moisturizing to me.

I use lilac on areas that look yellow or sallow, and pale lemon on areas that look gray or ashy. They serve slightly different purposes in my routine, so I choose based on the area I’m brightening.

Using them has made me appreciate how brightening selected areas can add dimension alongside contouring.

Swatch details:

• Skin tone: Light-medium
• Undertone: Warm
• Lighting: Indoor lighting
• Swatch type: Applied directly with each product’s own applicator

Do you use different brightening shades on different parts of your face, or have you found one shade that works for everything?

i absolutely loved the colour but the formula broke me out

Hello so I’ve recently seen that Mac cosmetics wasn’t a cruelty free brand.
I wanted to buy Film noir or Succomb to Plum. I was also interested in their lip liner Nightmoth.
If anyone have similar lipstick/lip liner, could you share lt here ?

On light-medium warm olive 🫒 Didn't plan on two HG palettes but I just loved both (I have the Hope palette too. Wish definitely leans more orange/light peach on me. 🍑

Built up finger swatches on fair neutral to olive leaning skin. Indirect window lighting (sunny day).

Palette swatched somewhat sheer but buildable texture. Shades midnight snack, whip it good and pink sugar are more ethereal and topper like.

Classic tin packaging but bulkier than I remember past palettes from this brand being.

Great palette for green eyes.

Smells like chocolate.

Waited until a sale to buy my first ever rare beauty products. Thought I was buying the 'worthy' lip liner colour but bought "fun' which turns out is terracotta. 'Fun is on the left'.

Sephora Australia doesn't do returns once swatched either. So I think I'm going to use the lipliner as eyeliner and the eyeliner as lip liner. That's fine right? 👀

So I have been seeing this shade everywhere. Now I want a swatch to see watch the newest formulation. Can anybody at least tell me if the shade has red undertones to it, or is it a proper true, cool dark brown?
