Laura Geller vs Bare Minerals for sensitive skin

Hello everyone. I would appriciate any recommendations as to these products. I'm deciding if I should buy the LG TSV. I am almost out of my BE. I have a few questions. Which one do you prefer? Is LG good for sensitive skin? How is porcelain vs fair? Is the fair on LG too dark? I use fair for BE, but I remember reading somewhere LG shades tend to be too dark. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I always ""feel"" LG BnB on my skin whereas BE is as light as air.

You'd probably be PORCELAIN in LG.

I have never had any skin issues with LG.

My preference goes to BE Matte foundation (which is not really matte at all).

I think you would need to order porcelain in LG if you are fair in BE. I wear BE fairly light and LG fair is almost too dark for me.

Thank you. I think I will then order porcelain, before that one runs out.

Re: Laura Geller vs Bare Minerals for sensitive skin

I do like both, but I prefer BE, and it's easier to find a matching shade. LG's is tricky, because if there's too much yellow running through the BnB then it doesn't match me. I wear Fairly Medium to Medium in BE, and in LG I wear Fair, unless there's too much yellow running through it, then I can't wear it. I also feel like BE's coverage lasts longer that LG's.

I can't speak about LG's porcelain, or whether or not it's okay for sensitive skin. My skin is pretty normal but it can occasionally have a reaction to something, and I've never had a reaction when using BE or LG.

Also I agree, if you're Fair in BE, then Fair in LG would be too dark, and Porcelain may work.
