Illamasqua Light Liquid Foundation (LF115) on top; MUFE Mat Velvet+ (15 - Alabaster) on bottom. Illamasqua's is sheerer and more neutral; MUFE's has a fuller coverage and has more pink/peach in it. (Edited because I wanted to get a better swatch photo. The initial one I took didn't show the undertones in the foundation properly, IMO.)

Flash of Flesh lipglass

Hi, I'm new to the forum so I hope I'm posting this in the right place!

Basically, today I had to let go of my MAC Flash of Flesh frost lipglass from the D'Bohemia collection (from '05).

I hadn't been able to use it for a couple of years even though it was full. Long story short, it had gotten contaminated.

Today I finally gave in and decided to use it as one of my six Back2MAC empties. Although I was so sad to see it go, I DID get Capricious lipstick which I am now in love with.

However, I LOVED Flash of Flesh, and I'm sad that I barely got to wear it before retiring it.

I expressed this sadness to the lady at the MAC counter who was collecting my empties, and she told me Enchantress lipglass would be a close replacement.

Which brings me to this question -

Can anyone here who has Flash of Flesh and Enchantress lipglass compare them for me? Please and thank you!!!

(by the way, I am a NW15 in my MAC Studio Tech foundation).

I got a couple of request for MAC/Illamasqua Skin Base comparisons, so I went on a bonanza. If anyone else is looking for such comparison swatches with recommendations, you can find those here (light to medium tones) and here (medium to dark tones). These are my personal recommendations from what I could observe during my swatch mission and based on what I've used on clients. I hope it's helpful.

I am looking for help in a Napoleon Perdis color in the stick foundation comparable to MAC studio fix in C4

Any help is appreciated!

Can someone please swatch the OCC SKIN TINTS in Y3 and Y4 for me??? Thanks a million!

 

[kayley123]

Would someone be able to do a comparison swatch of Creamy Bisque from MAC Me Over and Blanc Type [ or Urban Decay Foxy; or MAC Llama (discontinued veluxe if someone still has it!) or white frost/similar light color.]

Or of Moleskin and Vex? Is anything close?

I'm basically wondering if there's something similar enough in the permanent line or if I should maybe try to find/swap for Creamy Bisque and Moleskin.
