@decaf it is a great product! .....one of my favorites...I like a sheer, lightweight foundation.

What a great product and you can't even find a drugstore product for this price.

I tried it years ago and liked it, but I needed a different shade. Now it's available, I need something lightweight with good SPF, so I ordered it. Yay!

@Goldengate8361 @RainyDayGal Do you find the shades run true, or lighter or darker?

@decaf - I agree with the others. It's the only "foundation" I wear on hot days, and although I do wear another one once a week (when I have to look good from a distance), this is really my go-to.

My skin is light and I'm warm complected. I wear "light" in a lot of foundations. Vanilla works for me.

This is an amazing price! I recently ordered a new tube. I wish I had waited- LOL!

I'm interested but could use a little real life guidance on shades. Would y'all mind sharing your skin tone and shade selection, please?

@JeanLouiseFinch while I haven't purchased this particular product, I did buy the stick foundation version in Cashew. I am light to medium cool toned but can wear neutral toned too. Hope this helps.

Since you asked.....I wear "Wheat" color. I have light to medium shade skin and I usually prefer a cool tone.....neutral usually works for me, too, but it all depends, of course. Finding the right shade is always tricky.

@JudyL it sounds like we have a similar skin tone. I actually found the Cashew color to be a little dark for me (I bought it first). Glad it worked for you though. @JeanLouiseFinch I added this note for you, too.

I'm pretty fair and skintone I usually stick with neutral. The first time I tried it I purchased the Opal, this time I'm going for the Vanilla, but I think the Birch 1.5 would also be a good choice.

Here are products I normally wear:

L'Oreal Infallible 24 - #415 (rosey beige?)

L'Oreal True Match N2 Classic Ivory

L'Oreal True Match Lumi N1-2 Neutral (soft ivory)

Clinique Even Better CN02 (Breeze)

Chanel it was a rosey beige shade

I'm not sure the weight of this, but I typically don't like BBs or CCs, I find them way too heavy for my skin. Also, are they cruelty-free and clean beauty now? I know Bare Minerals is, except their parent company is not.

No Maybelline is NOT cruelty free but elf and covergirl is and they have similar products.

@decaf Thank you for the heads up this product is a staple for me. I love it.

My skin tone is medium neutral. I wear Natural O5 in this.

ccassaday — Sat, 10 Jul 2021 03:19:14 GMT

I am light neutral and wear the vanilla. I do have to really make sure it is blended at the jaw line because it is a little peachy but overall it works well then just add concealer.

@RainyDayGal @kathie66 @ccassaday Thank you. Since I've never ordered this before I really appreciate all the info about your skintones and shades. I ordered Bamboo, light/medium, it's on waitlist, my fingers are crossed I receive it.

I ended up choosing Bamboo too.
