@carrotsmakemefat Jane Iredale pressed foundation

I just bought this after reading of your love for it in multiple posts.  I think we have similar coloring (if I recall you are also pretty fair).  I've been struggling to find the right color foundation that lasts - I got bisque. I also got a concealer and I almost got a blush, but I'm going to think about it.


So far I think I like it, but we'll see in a week.  I tried Clinique BB cream, several Bobbi Brown foundations (like the color but it doesn't stay nice looking all day), and Tarte Amazonian clay.  I thought the Tarte was going to be it, but the fair was a bit too light and the light is a bit too yellow.

I have very similar coloring to Whitney Cummings. in wear the light beige and it is one of the only colors with pink undertones. I also wear the same in the loose mineral powder foundation, but ivory also didn't look bad.

For a lot of their products JI can send you samples. Other shade matcher on the website is also amazingly accurate

A local spa sells the entire line.  I just dropped in today and the make up artist helped me with colors.  She washed my face and there was a big window with natural light.  I think that helped since my other purchases were with professional help, too.  I may go back to get a make-over since eyeshadow and mascara are not part of my makeup routine.

She used whisper on me. It is a peachy-pink. It's pretty, but it has shimmer which I don't usually like. I think the shade I wanted is awake (I just looked on the website and it looked closest to the one I thought was pretty). It was a light pink - no shimmer. I may have to go back tomorrow to get it.
