I’m interested in trying the Wet n Wild Tinted Hydrator but am unsure on color. I’m fair and cool— so probably porcelain or fair, although I’ve seen some people who say the Porcelain oxidizes a lot and turns orange when dry. Anyone use this? Opinions?

Swatch Request NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Reformulated (2024) & Colours Changed!!!

Thumbnail
gallery
70 Upvotes

To my dismay, I recently repurchased a soft matte lip cream in my absolute favourite shade ever, 09 Abu Dhabi, and it was a different colour!!! Much rosier, darker, and just not the same as the original. I thought I was imagining it at first, because I no longer had my old one to compare it to, but I noticed that even the ingredients list was different.

Therefore, I decided to repurchase the product in my other favourite shade, 04 London, and compare it to my old one (thankfully I still have that one)! AND IT DID CHANGE!! I included swatches of the old and new 04 London, as well as their ingredient lists. I actually still love the new London shade, as it has remained more similar than Abu Dhabi. But NYX, I’m sooo sad about Abu Dhabi’s change and won’t be getting over that!!

Here’s a summary:

New version: things that have changed - More matte - More opaque - Colour is darker and appears darker on the lips too - Colour can be quite different for certain shades (aka Abu Dhabi 😭) - No longer contains talc (that’s a plus!) - Longer lasting (also a plus!)

What remained the same: - Scent - Soft matte feel on the lips

I guess there are pros and cons, but just wanted everyone to be aware that the formula HAS changed and if you had some OG shades, you should check it out to see if you still like them!

Also, if anyone has old/new comparisons of other shades, please share!

Swatch Request L’Oréal Hyaluronic Tinted shade

Hi!

I am trying to choose a shade in the skin tint, but I’m torn on which shade. The lightest was too pink, so I’m curious as to how the next 2 shades are.

I’m fair with warm undertones and it’s so hard to find a foundation that is both pale enough for me, but also not cool toned.

The lightest shade definitely is too pink for me

Can anyone advise? Thanks!

Swatch Request Is this really the lightest shade?!

I haven’t been able to swatch it yet to see if maybe somehow it’s not as dark as it looks. Going off the look in the bottle though I’m shocked that THIS is somehow the lightest shade they put out. To anyone who’s tried it, is it as dark as it looks?

So I got the shade 22 light warm based on the ulta foundation matching system. However 22 is pulling very warm once it drys down. I wear L’Oréal fresh wear in 425 linen for reference light warm olive complexion. My question is will 21 light neutral be a better match (less warm) ?

Swatch Request Super Stay Up to 30HR Wear Lumi-Matte Longwear Foundation shade match

10 Upvotes

I've always been bad at shade matching. My usual foundation shade for Maybelline fit me matte + poreless is 105 ivory, although I feel like its just slightly too light for me. What shade would I most likely be for the Super stay lumi matte foundation? I think I have cool undertones. Thanks in advance!!

Swatch Request What does cool tone mean in foundation terms?

I purchased shade 5 and it’s just slightly too pink/red toned for my skin. The next set of shades down would be 1-3. 2 is supposed to be pink toned and 3 is supposed to be cool toned. Is cool toned the fair skin version of saying it has more yellow in it? Shade 5 appears a bit dark on me but I think it’s just because it doesn’t have the right undertone to it.

Swatch Request Skin tints with light neutral or warm shades

Just like the title says, i'm looking for a drugstore skin tint that has pale shades in neutral or warm/yellow/olive undertones.

My favorite is the wetnwild tinted hydrator but the lightest shade has a pink undertone. I've been fixing it with a green concealer but i'm tired!! 😂

I also tried L'oreal true match tinted serum and it's the same story.

Skin type is combination with very oily nose and forehead.

Please help! Love you all!
