What do you use now?

They've changed the colours and they're all too dark for me now and I LOVED this ,it was so easy so have a quick swish of powder and look great. WHY do they change formulas/ colours? 😭

I'm on the look out for something similar but don't like Bare Minerals.

TIA 😊

Oh, this is sad. Are you very, very fair? The lightest colours still look very light to me.

I am out and about without my Facefinity compact, which I adore. I am medium-light Caucasian. I think my new compact is the 3rd lightest in the peachy or tawny range.

I'm usually ivory in make up , definitely not porcelain that's far too light. NW20 in Mac and Fresco in doublewear so cool toned.

The new ivory is SO red based it's ridiculous. What a waste of money! I've only just discovered it too and I must've got one of the original contacts which was perfect . Big sigh... 🙄😢

They do but it's a completely different shade now.

I feel your pain. I swapped to Laura Geller Balance and Brighten baked powder which I do really like. I also love the retractable kabuki brush that came with it as part of the set I got. Laura Geller seems to get mixed reviews so it was a risk but I think the set I got (blusher, foundation, blusher brush and kabuki brush) was about £45 so I figured if the powder foundation wasn't right I'd at least use the other items. I will be repurchasing it.

However, it isn't as easy to carry on the go as the compacts are so I still have a few I'm using up in various handbags, my work drawer etc.

Gutted to read this, I've been using Facefinity since it was launched !

There was a thread last year about Max Factors Facefinity compact, this is a sort of follow on from that. I only tend to use mine in the summer when the weather is very hot and my usual No 7 foundation isn’t suitable. Just discovered that the original MF Facefinity compact has changed the formula and no one seems to like it (see Amazon reviews).
anyone got any suggestions of an equally affordable foundation powder compact. I have fair skin

I've discovered Rimmel 24 the one in the red compact, fab stuff.
