I use PL for my foundation, it's the best thing i've found so far for my skin, gives me the coverage I need and all. As far as it looking powdery though, i've never had that problem with them.

The eyeshadows are pretty hit or miss with me, I have a bunch of them. Some of them I love, while other ones don't really do much, either way the samples are only a dollar so it's not a super investement.

I have several samples of the Pure Luxe eyeshadows and while they are really pretty, I find that they are very sheer on me. I have only worn them a couple of times and don't find myself reaching for them at all. I haven't tried any of the foundations though, I am happy with Bare Essentuals foundation.

Same here. I had bought some, and they looked great in the pot, but when I put them on, they either didn't show up, or they ended up looking fug. And I can wear most shades if I work with them. I could not work with these at all.

I dunno, to me, Pure Luxe is just crappy stuff. I like Fyrinnae a lot better, and I'm gonna try Meow Cosmetics for foundation/concealer.

I am glad that I didn't spend a lot of money on them since I never wear them!

For the folks who were disappointed by the application, were you using them dry or were you foiling?

I've only tried Alima and Pure Luxe so far, but so far both have been comparable - very sheer and not lasting when applied dry, but beautiful, rich and long-lasting when used wet.

I tried the Pure Luxe colors dry. I have heard that they don't foil well at all.

I know exactly what your saying. I never reach for them. The pot looks tempting, but when applied, it looks so bad that I contemplate washing my face and starting over... but instead I go the rest of the day looking like crap... I am still so mad that I basically threw away so much money! AHHHHH! And I apply them dry. I tried foiling once, and it turned out real gritty no matter how little or much water I added. It was just WRONG!

April's Mix is THE BOMB!! my HG finishing powder... would recommend this to everybody and anybody

Hello girls! I'm doing makeup for a photoshoot the 5th of March, and I want to get her foundation colour.

Now I've found COCOA by Pure Luxe which seems to be a very close match, but I don't know whether to buy the Powder Foundation or the Whipped Creme Foundation.

What do you recommend?

I have used both, and like both. The creme has much more coverage, but the powder looks more natural -- so it depends on how you want it to look in the photoshoot! hth!

To hell with Pure Luxe! I'm sorry but I think they're a horrible company. I'm still really bitter that I wasted/got ripped off $50 something dollars of my hard earned teenage money on their crappy shadows

That's bad.... I haven't tried their products yet, so I've only spent 10$ on 6 blushes and the creme foundation... I ended up getting creme because I figured it will work better for the photoshoot.

The Pure Luxe Ultimates have more pigment in them than the regular eyeshadows...if you use a sealant they also work well as eyeliners. I use the Aromaleigh eyeliner sealant.

I was going to order some of the A'leigh sealant but they were out!

The PureLuxe Ultimates are great & I'm hooked on Rockstar and a few of the others both for liners and that smoky look & shading.
