Pale Foundation Swatches (on the hunt for the right shade)
• Swatches are blended out and sat for 5 minutes before photos.
• First photo is natural lighting, second is direct lighting, third is artificial lighting (kitchen).
• Fourth and fifth photos are Haus Labs 15, 30 and 40 swatched on my bare face.
For years, I thought Oslo was the right shade for me. My face is incredibly pink because I flush so easily and for Oslo, that was perfect, but my face was always a distinctly different shade than my neck 🙃 Then I realized I should be matching to my neck, not my face, and Oslo was entirely too pink. I’ve been out here looking like a clown for the last few years lol
So far I think Haus Labs 015 is my best match, RDF is a touch too pale I think. I plan on buying a few more brands to try, though.
My skin type is very, very dry (as in I use moisturizer, serum AND aquaphor at night 😅) and sensitive. I prefer dewy foundations so I loved the NARS formula, just couldn’t find the right shade with them. The Haus Labs formula isn’t as dewy imo, but it’s still pretty nice. The Rituel de Fille formula was way too drying for me and even if MISSHA would have worked for me, it smelled like a citronella candle was right under my nose when I swatched it. Lol
The hunt for other matches continues!
