thanks for sharing the picture!

Thanks! I'm really liking Lauress!

[periwinkle_sky]

As promised, here is my chart on Lauress' yellows and golds (and a fawn has been thrown in). It's not as flawless as Lilita's, but I hope the colors are clear. I also attached pics of the foundations in the sample jars.

thanks so much for doing this, Aileen!
I think it's very clear that the colors are the same in both formulas...
(oh dear, am I going to be spending more money? )

And btw, you look gorgeous in the Meow Frisky Chartreux! It looks perfect on you! (as does every foundation color that you choose )

Shadomere - your skin looks FLAWLESS!!! I can't tell any difference between the Subtle Gold and Soft Gold at all. You look fab! Would you say that the Elemental feels as soft as the Original formula?

Here is a pic of me wearing Lauress Elemental SOFT YELLOW - it was taken at night in my bathroom under my brand new superbright lightbulbs - not the most accurate coloring - and my eyes are puffy from lack of sleep + a bad cold ... Anyway, I think Soft Yellow is a teeny tiny bit pale on me but I can't be bothered mixing anything. I LOVE the coverage, color and how this feels

Shadomere-
I would say that Lauress looks the best on you but that's hard to say because you look really good in any of you matches. Heck, you look stunning before putting on MMU. Is this going to be your HG?

Lilita-
Once again you look beautiful. Don't you wish you could just pull everyone in from MuT to see it in person because it's so hard to capture the nuances on film?Love the lips again. Sorry about the cold! I hate being sick.

Aileen-
Great swatches. So nice to see side by side of these. It all makes sense now.

thank you, Hoozey. I agree - I wish we could all see each other in real life!!! Photos can be so decieving and especially under different lighting conditions. And unfortunately I rely on them so much (when BF isn't around) to see if my face matches my neck.

[periwinkle_sky]

Lilita- you look great! And it doesn't seem like Elemental has bad coverage at all! I use Soft Gold in the Elemental too, but I can wear Radiant Gold as well. I'm sure you'd love Creamy Yellow in the original formula- if you're looking for a shade there, I think that might be yours.

[lilita]

thanks periwinkle ! I made a mistake, I meant to write SOFT YELLOW (edited now) not SOFT GOLD. I can wear Soft Gold too, but I think I prefer Soft Yellow because it looks a bit brighter and more alive than the gold.

I am so so tempted to order Creamy Yellow in the original formula (cheaper!) but I am going to be a good girl and wait...

Thank you so much! Actually I think the Elemental is softer than the orignal and has a wee bit more shimmer/light. Both those pictures are with the original formula in different rooms. I wanted to see the difference in lighting. They are both very soft and creamy though. I still need to see how well it holds up on a normal day though. I've been just running around like crazy this weekend so I put it on and then I don't even really look at my face again until I'm about to pass out and by then I've been rubbing my face and my eyes and...well it's not pretty. lol

Aww thanks Hoozey! Because I'm so pale but have golden undertones it's been tricky trying not only to match but find something not too flat. I think Lauress does that. I think this is will most likely be my HG foundation. I still want to order some of Meow's e/s though. ...It never ends does it?!...

Lilita, I think that color is a good match! The picture doesn't look too pale. I don't think I've seen any pics of you where I thought your coloring didn't work though.

I decided to start trying golds and yellows after warms and neutrals werent' working for me. And they are perfect. I wore Radiant Gold Lauress today and I love how my skin looked! Can't wait to order full sizes.

[farris2]

Peri-what shade would you suggest that I try? I use Monave's Ashlie (not the CF) Thanks

[newyorlatin]

Shadowmere I don't think that it would be possible to find a better match than what you have on now! It really does look perfect.

Lilita. You look amazing in the Lauress Yellows. I loved the way that the other I believe it was the Lauress Gold looked on you too. This may be even better. Anway it goes IMO the Lauress is a winner for you!

Nice Chart Peri. It's very helpful.


OhioMom, Isn't Lauress the best? I wasn't expecting to be floored by it but I was. I haven't found anything yet that is it's equal...............but of course we'll continue searching

[alyssaeve]

I really want to try the Lauress but I need coverage. Could someone compare the coverage of the Elemental to Lumiere's VV? Also does anyone know of the Elemental color match to the light-medium golden and light-medium beige in the Lumiere.

Elemental is more sheer than VV but buildable coverage. It feels amazing. L-M Golden is probably closest to Radiant Gold in Lauress. L-M Beige I am not sure about because I haven't used that color- but at least you have a starting point by comparing the gold and then see which "Radiant" is most like Beige Lumiere. HTH

[ohiomom0503]

I tried the Light Medium golden in lumiere flawless face and I like the radiant golden and soft golden in lauress. Subtle golden may work too,but haven't tried it. I have a sample of it, just havent' tried that sample yet. I like Lauress so much better than lumiere VV. The VV seemed very cakey/heavy on me and I have oily skin! The lauress the first time I applied it, I thought was heavy coverage. But, the 2nd and after times, seemed lighter, but still great coverage! I like it better than lumiere. You can try the samples at Lauress. You can get 4 samples, you can try the goldens subtle, radiant, soft and a finishing veil. Just when you place your order type in samples in the coupon code place and 4 samples are free! Just pay like $4 for shipping. Definitely worth a shot!
