Bareminerals shade

5 replies

Previously been matched for YSL all hours foundation shade LN1, and Lancome ultra concealer shade 006/095.
I really want to order (don't live near any shops that stock it) Bareminerals complexion rescue tinted moisturiser, but can't decide what shade: opal, birch or vanilla.
I know it's hard to advise and if I lived nearer somewhere that sold it I'd just get a colour match.
I have pale, cool tone skin. Blonde hair. A lot of products can look too orange on me.

If anyone has any advice for what shade, it'd be much appreciated!

I’m pale cool and sadly I found all the Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue too yellow on me. I wouldn’t buy without testing.

Opal is the one they say is for pale cool/pink undertones.

Birch says it’s for warm yellow undertones.

Vanilla for neutral peach.

I’d give findation.com a go.

Interesting you say that @SoScarletItWas , I just followed your link and was surprised to see Suede listed as being for cool pink undertones. That's my shade yet I am very much warm and olive, as is the product.

I do hope you find a shade OP, it's a beautiful product. I don't wear makeup much but I am almost always complimented on my skin when I do. I've had women half my age rushing off to buy it when I tell them what I'm using!

How odd, @Sugarnspicenallthingsnaice!

I had two samples when we still had a big department store locally. I really wanted to like it but the shade match just wasn’t right ☹️ I’m using L’Oreal True Match Nude Tinted Plumping Serum and it’s perfect for me.
