    Does anyone else feel like it kind of went paler as the day went??? Or maybe it was just the lighting. WEIRD
    PS check our shaaanxovlogs I uploaded HEAPS last week! xx

      Shaaanxo was just about to comment this! I swear it got more pale/pinker as the day went on

      @allisoncox9644 7 років тому +2

      Shaaanxo ....when you did your second check in I was oh that looks really pink and like she looks like she has really dry skin. Not the foundation for you.

      Shaaanxo I did notice!! Thought I was imagining it... It also looked paler when u first put it on than it did in the jar

    I feel like The Balm doesn’t get much love. They have some really great products!

    • @tiffanyx8577
      @tiffanyx8577 7 років тому +58

      RatGirl44 I think they would if they did a better shade range. They are (like most brands) all medium skin toned. Not a lot for us pale girls or women of color

    • @kristenbarnett9011
      @kristenbarnett9011 7 років тому +6

      RatGirl44 I agree! I've tried so many eye shadow brands and they're still my favorite!

      Tiffany G same! Got told at Mac I was cool toned but just because I'm extremely pale and have redness doesn't mean that! I'm neutral toned!

  • @beautifulchaos4383
    @beautifulchaos4383 5 років тому +5

    I absolutely love this foundation I got it on sale for $10 I bought six and it's the greatest full coverage you don't need to use that much, I hope they never stop making it.

  • @lg9495
    @lg9495 7 років тому +5

    The balm is actually amazing. I haven't tried their face products yet. But I love their balm jovi eyeshadow palette and the meet matte hughes liguid lipstick. I wish more people talk about them because I wanna know more what's good and what's not. Maube you can do like a full face of the balm products?? I think it will be very helpful 💃🏻❤️

    @hannahsmith3807 7 років тому +22

    Can I ask what foundation shade would match your neck perfectly here? Your neck is pretty much the same undertone and shade as my skin tone and I can never find a good match 😭

    • @PetiteCauchemar
      @PetiteCauchemar 7 років тому +1

      If you have yellow undertones, check out Bourjois or Too Faced foundations. I'm very fair and Too Faced BTW Snow and Bourjois Healthy Mix Light 51 are good matches for me (I'm around Mac NC 10-15). Shan looks like she might be a shade or two darker than those without fake tan

    • @meganpowell5411
      @meganpowell5411 7 років тому

    "Lighter than Light" is a DISGRACE! That's at least 6 shades too dark for me. And I don't have albinism, I'm just INCREDIBLY fair. That's pathetic.

      DuchessFilms people do get upset about not enough dark skin foundations. As a light skin even I get upset when there aren't inclusive shades for ALL.

    • @eloeber1
      @eloeber1 6 років тому +1

      I'm as light as you and I wear this foundation in lighter than light all the time. You should try it because I thought it would be too dark for me too but once I put it on and buffed it out, it looked good. It's the only foundation I wear and I didn't start wearing foundation till I found this one. When they say a little goes a long way, it's more like two to three drops covers my entire face. It's crazy and like she said it lasts all day. I've had that little container for about 1 month and it looks barely used. I bought mine at kohls and they'll return it if it's not your color but keep the receipt. Hope ya give it a try, you may love it😉.

  • @mirilovely7351
    @mirilovely7351 5 років тому

    the price is TOTALLY worth the price! it could last 6 months to a year cuz u only need a little bit (I don't use much anyways) my salon lady recommended it😊she sells it so she'll give me a discount (cheaper than Sephora) and it's sooooooooooo soft and looks so natural on the skin

    @LoveOfArt87 7 років тому +3

    I bought this foundation about a month ago and I’m absolutely in love with it.. I’m way darker then you, I’m using the dark medium I believe. I’ve tried many application methods and a beauty blender is not the way to go because it does eat so much of it considering how little you do get.. I applied it with my fingers and blend with it a beauty blender but I don’t apply it with the sponge though.. and it lasts all day, I do always use primer though with any foundation, and the coverage is great.. loving it.. my only complaint is the amount you get but like I said if you use your fingers you don’t waste much.. I’ve used about a 3rd of it in a month..
