If worn alone, yes. Which is why some of her left side swatches are a bit off.

This is my BIGGEST gripe with Allura's swatches.I do not like it when they do such close up pics of the swatches

She does it too? Does T as well?

That seems like a really good guess to me. Why did they lie? If I remember correctly, they used cranberry for the apres chic collection promo and were up front about it. Seems weird to me.
T's aren't as close up. Allura's have been really close up, like so close you can see her arm's "hair pockets" for lack of the correct word.
or they crease but its a nice shade for a base!

Yes Layin is so pretty color.T's swatches convinced me that Layin low is my next purchase. Sadly, I still have to use a primer under theseor they crease but its a nice shade for a base!

They need to sell the collection of course! It's one thing to use one product that's not in the collection, but to do an entire look using products not in the collection is a whole other story. So the claim to use a whole mixture of products to achieve the look. Remember the office hours promo image? That lip most certainly wasn't what they said it was! :nope:

Perky looks SO orange
I like the second swatch of Camel Coat (the one to the right), but the one to the left is really odd... Why is it so dark around the edge?

It's the lighting. It's such a pretty coral!

I have barely used my one PP (Eclair) so far, and I don't want to end up with too many cream products open, so althought there are a few of these that I'm interested in, I'll take my time getting them. Stormy Pink and Camel Coat are top of the list, Layin Low looks good but maybe too warm for me, and Perky is tempting me. Clearwater is pretty but I definitely don't think I'd get enough use from it to justify it.

My favourites are Perky, taylor gray and camel coat!!
I ordered Stormy Pink and Tailor Grey. I also got Rubenesque to use as a base for Melon pigment. I want to swatch Camel Coat and Layin Low before I buy. I saw some prior comparison swatches on someone with a similar skin tone for LL - the two closest are Painterly and Nubile, both of which I already have, so I may skip LL altogether.

Do the matte paint pots make better bases than shimmery ones? The only paint pot I have is Bare Study and I find that it makes a decent base (over primer). I love the look of several of the new ones (Tailor Grey, Camel Coat and Stormy Pink) but I have no idea if they'd work well as a base or be better off used alone. If they'd make a crap base I might as well skip them because Bare Study creases on me like a mofo unless I have some powder e/s over it.
