Thread title updated!

Wonder if they've retired, or are retiring, Siberia as a shade name for their lightest foundation shades.

Oslo is listed on Temptalia as having pink undertones, whereas Siberia is yellow toned. So maybe super pale with yellow undertones doesn't sell well. I usually use Monte Blanc, but it's actually a bit too dark, and not pink enough. So I'm super excited to see Oslo. I'm hoping this formula works for me!!

Edit: Oops... Siberia is listed by Nars to be neutral yellow/pink, but IMO it pulls very yellow.

i agree their description of shades is not really ideal. deuville is described as pink/yellow but i feel it is way more on the yellow side. i wear deuville in all of their foundations and i am very yellow. i will try deuville in this one too but maybe Gobi also just to see if it is better match

Yeah, I owned Siberia in Sheer Glow a number of years ago, and it does pull very yellow. It was pretty close in depth to my skintone, though. So here's hoping Oslo is a bit better in the undertone department!

I'd like to see more swatches, and especially ones comparing NRL in Oslo to ADLW and/or Sheer Glow in Siberia.

Oslo definitely leans more pink. It's a shame Siberia's gone, given not everyone who is pale/fair-skinned has a pink undertone. I'd probably want either Mont Blanc or Gobi as well.

To mix with Oslo? Or do you think Mont Blanc or Gobi could work for you?

I confess I am excited about this new foundation. I am new to the Radiant Creamy Concealer and love it! I think I live somewhere between Stromboli, Vanatu & Barcelona. I will have to wait for in store swatching & samples.

I would need to mix for sure. Oslo looks super pink! Guess Siberia wasn’t a great seller so they decided to make the lightest shade really pink.

l do wear devuille in their other formulas and i find it pretty yellow even tho they describe it as mixture of yellow and pink. i am curious if gobi is better match
