Foundation Swatches for the Perilously Pale

I am FINALLY posting some foundation swatches for you. I can’t believe that I started Perilously Pale over a year ago and have never done foundation swatches, or reviews for that matter, for you. I apologize. Helping my fellow fair complected beauties navigate the world of beauty was my reason for starting this website and not having done this earlier is unacceptable. Bad blogger!

Here are swatches of the following foundations:

Cover FX Cream Foundation E0
Cover FX Cream Foundation C10
Face Atelier Ultra Foundation 1
Make Up For Ever Face and Body #38
Bobbi Brown Natural Finish in Porcelain
Revlon Colorstay in 110 Ivory
Rouge Bunny Rouge Milk Aquarelle Foundation in Coconut Milk Parfait
Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua in BR10
Le Metier de Beaute Peau Vierge in Shade 1
Le Metier de Beaute Classic Flawless Foundation in Shade 2

For reference my arm is likely about NW10. My face is between NW10-15. I’m starting to discover that going closer to a NW15 blends in better with my freckles. If I match my skin my foundation can look too artificial over my freckles but if I match somewhere in between the colour of my skin and the colour of my freckles it looks more natural.

Le Metier de Beaute Tunsian Trist Face of the Day

Here is my face of the day testing out the Neiman Marcus Exclusive Crochet Kaleidoscope Tunsian Trist. I will do a full review of this Kaleidoscope shortly. I also played with the sample pans of two old Limited Edition bronzer shades that Dustin had sent with my order a while back. I love them! I wish they weren’t LE but since I haven’t tried the permanent shades I can only imagine they are even more amazing. If you haven’t already checked out my interview with Le Metier de Beaute’s Mikey Castillo please do so. It’s full of so much valuable information and has the Sunkissed bronzer at the top of my wishlist!
