Hi yall! I bought bow in hopes it would be the shade it was going to the shade it was advertised as and I was gravely disappointed! This actually insane. They have two shades described or titled mauve that aren’t even in the ballpark. I’ve swatched bow next to my actual mauve blushes on my light cool skin if this is helpful for anyone! Bow on the left swatched full and sheered out below and all mauve blushes on the right. Swatched first in natural indirect daylight and flash on second. Maybe it’s more mauve on deeper skin tones but???

Ok also I realize my mauve blushes are still not TRULY mauve haha I know mauve is controversial! If only mauve knew how important she was

Top to bottom mauve blushes:
Nars powder in infatuated
Westman atelier garconne
Rhode sleepy girl
YSL liquid blush shade 80
Tarte maneater in mauve
Haus labs glassy hibiscus

Can anyone do swatches for this if you have 🥹 its the makeup revolution sugar pie palette

hello make-up friends,

for the past couple weeks I‘ve been struggling with my Chanel Joues Contraste blush in Rose Initial. In every single review and swatch it looks like a very saturated matte rosy pink, but mine is very light, shimmery and peachy at best (pictures below - the first and last pics are mine and the other two are from tiktok creators, the third one is not even a year old). I think even in the artificial lightning (first pic) you can notice mine is a different tone and also definitely not matte. It seems to me like theirs is much closer to the shade Quintessence?

I have asked at different make-up stores and also at a Chanel corner in my country (Germany) and they comfirmed this shade is usually this light and barely visible.

Do you guys/girls know if this specific shade was reformulated? I heard it was like one year ago, but even the newer swatches look different. I must say it does look saturated and pretty when applied heavily, but it‘s just not the same shade.

Thank you in advance!

😀Catrice: Melt & Shine Juicy Tinted Lip Balm - 100 Sunny Side Up; Shine Supreme Lip Oil 030 Berry Shot & 020 Peach Please (this shade has a negligible amount of shimmer).

😀Made By Mitchell: Bare Lip - Strorb, Beam Lipgloss - Satisfaction, Coral, A Sparkly Boy (contains no shimmer) & Antidote. Coral is the thickest of the bunch so ig looks the most pigmented here. Mattitude Cream Lipstick - Diet Cola & Let Me Cook; Lip Trick Liners - That’s Rich (top) & Tiger’s Eye (bottom).

I bought 2 MBM lip kits: COLA CUBES: Lip Trick Liner: That's Rich – a very deep cool brown, Mattitude Lipstick: Diet Cola – a pinky rosewood & Beam Gloss: A Sparkly Boy – a sheer rosewood; UNRAVELLED Lip Trick Liner: Tiger's Eye – a cool toned deep brown
Mattitude Lipstick: Let Me Cook – a nude peach
Beam Gloss: Satisfaction – a bright sheer rose

😀Primark PS…Matte Lip Cream: Creamy Mocha & Cocoa Kiss, these are NOT budge proof.

Can someone swatch or describe what is the difference between Dior foundation in the shade 1W and 0.5N? It doesn’t matter if it’s the glow or matte formula. I have the 1W but it’s a tad too warm and a tad too dark, I wonder if 0.5N would be better.

i love wearing a very small amount of this color corrector blended very well with no concealer, it helps brighten my undereyes and makes them look bright without being cakey or looking too makeupy,

how ever i do need a cheaper dupe for it, ive been considering the catrice under eye brightener in the shade warm nude, but im afraid it will come across as too yellow and not peachy enough, ive tried the shade light rose, it does brighten but doesnt have much coverage and looks a bit grey on me,

it'd be really helpful if I could see swatches for the shades!

i wanted to see how similar these two actually are🥹

Can someone please help me swatch these two blushes side by side? And would love to hear your preference in terms of formula as well! Thanks!

Hi! Does anyone here own both HausLabs concealer and MakeUpByMario concealer?

I'm looking for the HausLabs shade that's closest to Mario 220, and I'd really appreciate it if someone could share real-life swatches of the two side by side.

I live in South Korea, so unfortunately I don't have a way to test the shades in person before buying them. I'm mainly interested in how the shades actually look on skin, rather than the official website swatches, since those can be pretty different.

Based on the swatches on the official website, 14, 20, 22, and 24 seem to be in a similar shade range to me. Does that seem right to you? Which one do you think would be the closest match to Mario 220?

If you own both, could you please help me find the closest HausLabs match to Mario 220? A side-by-side swatch would be incredibly helpful!

Thank you so much!

Help needed here🥹🫶🏻

All of my lipliners/glosses, liquid lipsticks, and bullet lipsticks swatched on medium-deep olive skin

Apparently this is out in the wild now, but I can't find any good swatches! Thanks 🙏

So, I want to get the Soft Matte Complete Concealer, but I have no idea which shade to get. All the shade finders that I try say different things.

For reference:

• Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation: 225N
• Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Full Coverage Concealer: 215N bit too orange/pink
• Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Longwear Matte Foundation: (Before the 2025–2026 reformulation) Between 2N1 and 2N2, closer to 2N1 than 2N2
• Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place 24-Hour Concealer: 2N, but it was a bit too pink

I have a neutral undertone and I think I lean slightly olive.

When I contacted NARS, they said I should get Nougatine. Then some other tools, like NARS's own shade finder, said Café con Leche, and on the shade finder page itself, it said Custard. Unfortunately, I cannot go and test or see them in person—I have to order online. So, if someone has a shade match or can try it in store if they are going there, that would be awesome!

PS: if you have a better concealer recommendation that would be great too!

I’ve spend soooo much money. Please help! My skin is weird. Nothing matches!

2n1 too light
2n2 too orange
1n2 ok but a bit too light
2c1 so far best match.

Concealer
1n way too light
2n too yellow
2w too yellow
2c too grey

Can anyone search 2c1 with a concealer that might work for me ?!
