Instant glow, no real coverage. They smell like PL which I love.
It didn't oxidize on me.
Nordstrom had them on counter for preorder this past weekend. As 70 is the darkest shade, it's really a tint to me. No real coverage, just a pretty luxurious glow without any shimmer or micro glitter.
50 looks almost darker than 60, perhaps it is the tones -- thanks for pic!Here's a picture of the testers.. I feel the colors are quite accurate
Very interesting. This reminds me a bit of the new MUFE powder foundation because the colors are so damn light in the pan that it throws you off. However, the MUFE product is a full on foundation and this powder isn't. The woman in this video is #114 in Perfection Lumiere and #60 in this powder is her match when she's not tanned. This tells me I need to go up to #50 or possibly even #40. I don't tan, or at least not enough to change the shade I need. I avoid the sun like the plague. ETA: Just found this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVSKNSU5ggs If you jump to 4:12, she gets into the powder. She bought #40 and so now I am pretty sure I'm #50 because I am a bit darker than she is it seems (at least judging by her face).
I'm 104 in PL and I tried on 70. 114 in PL is darker and more yellow, where as 104 is lighter and more red. 70 seems to work for both shades. The powders didn't really go in a true light to dark range, like 70 is the darkest, compared to 60, and 50, but any color may match as they are all different in undertone. I think someone could be both 50 and 60, but will need to choose which one based on their undertone. I swear this powder really has no color when blended, just a glow, lol . Which I love!!!!
I had successfully resisted this until now... Seeing that lovely diffused and luminous look it gives you, though, makes me want to grab one. I've hit pan on my Nars powder, which means that I do have to get something to carry with me...I couldn't get a good photo, but here's me wearing no. 10 all over
That's what I was hoping for! When everyone was saying that they looked bronzey or glowy, I was disappointed but I'm definitely looking for a nice all over luminous powder.
Oh yes Katred grab one, it's a must-have and honestly speaking the price is quite nice ( compared to other powders ). It's luminous and after a few hours les Beiges melts into the skin, I am always surprised at this, clearly it's very very good.
Yep, my Nordies didn't even know about it. When I said kabuki brush, she's like yeah we have it & brought out their usual little one
Well my dear, you will LOVE this powder then!!!
And, another super cool, pretty, lovely pic of you my dear!!!
Haven I'm not getting that brush. 70.00 for a synthetic kabuki brush is madness.
Hey Ladies...
Ya'll are SERIOUSLY bad for my wallet!I just looked at that picture of the powders in real life and if those are the true colors (also taking into consideration darkening/oxidation on oily types like me), then they look to run a little dark? I looked at the videos and they did not help me at ALL. The lighting in those videos are off.
I ordered two of them because the yellow toned ones look too light and the red toned ones look too dark. I'm yellow, but can get reddish around the edges in the summer. I'm not going to reveal which colors yet because I have a theory. But I'm a teensy bit annoyed that I had to order two (like the girl who had to get 60 and 70). They are too expensive not to match perfectly imo.
I hate that we have to wait for them. I'm excited to get the powder and the brush. I have otherWell I cannot wait to hear what you think once you get them. The shades are really forgiving. I would be surprised if these oxidize.
I want the yellow based one if it does correct & still want the 60 for a bit of color.
Thanks, lady. :kiss: I'll think of myself as a vampire now. That'll remind me of True Blood and that'll remind me of Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) and that will make me happy. :lol:And, another super cool, pretty, lovely pic of you my dear!!!I avoid the sun too...like a vampire :haha:
If there isn't a shade that matches perfectly, then I'm not buying it (or I'll be returning it). I don't care if a face product is only $20, I'm not working around it. Just shouldn't be necessary. I can't wait to see what color is best for you because I know that's the one I'll need.
I'll think of myself as a vampire now. That'll remind me of True Blood and that'll remind me of Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) and that will make me happy.
