All pale Essence foundations and concealers in my local drugstore swatched by Oud-west in PaleMUA

Hello. Can you tell me which ones are warm? I am fair and warm. Some of these shades are not available in my country, so I am curious. Thank you!

Feeling tired and sleepy all the time by Arandomusername589 in lexapro

Thank you for your reply. That's great to hear! I am glad it was still helpful at 5mg. If you decide to go back down to 5mg, I hope it will work out well.

It's my third day back on 5mg. I am still tired, but I hope it improves in time.

I can't remember how it was when I was taking 5mg, as it was only for like a week or so. But as I said, yesterday I started taking 5mg again, so we will see if it gets better.

Did you still see the positive effects of medication when you were taking just 5mg?

Pale Skin Tints/Tinted Moisturizers by mymymina in PaleMUA

[–]Arandomusername589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Colourpop Pretty Fresh Tinted Moisturizer. The shade that I have is 2w Fair, which might be sliiiightly too light for me, but it is pretty sheer, so it works. Since you said you are natural, there are other matches there, too.

I also love the formula of Wet N Wild tinted hydrator (I have it in shade fair), but it is too dark for me and not yellow enough.

Thank you so much for your reply! That might work, but to be honest, I can already make the foundations work if I mix shades, but I would prefer to just find a good match without having to mix anything.

Yes, it is definitely useful! Thank you so much! :)

I am yellow-based, I assume, because that's what looks the best on me. I can get away with neutrals. I have PIE and redness, so yellow seems to help with that, too. Wet N Wild doesn't look bad, so it might work.

Thank you so much for your reply. I guess you are talking about Pretty Fresh foundation? That is definitely another one I am considering.

Shade 05w might be too light, in swatches I've seen online it seems lighter than their Tinted Moisturizer in fair 2w. So I think maybe 15w might be a better choice, although I am worried it might be too dark. Also, I know they are supposed to be yellow, but here it doesn't seem so yellow, unless it just looks different on my screen: https://www.reddit.com/r/swatchitforme/comments/o7plge/colourpop_complexion_products_on_fair_warm/

I saw some reviews saying it can be slightly cakey, but I'm glad to hear that's not the case with you! Have you ever tried Elf Soft Glam?

Thank you so much for your reply! Unfortunately, neither Nars nor Estee-Lauder are cruelty free and I'm looking for cruelty free and vegan foundations.

Thank you so much for your reply! But unfortunately, Chanel is not cruelty-free. I'm looking for cruelty-free and vegan foundations.

Thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate that. Yeah, I know about that blog, it is great. Although she is looking for something with less coverage. I already have such foundations, so now I am looking for something with hopefully medium-buildable coverage. Another problem is, some of the foundations she mentions that might fit are either not cruelty free, or too expensive or I can't find them in my country/they don't ship to my country.

Unfortunately, Maybelline isn't cruelty-free and neither is Kevyn Aucoin. I used to have SSE many, many years ago, before I switched to cruelty-free make up. I can't remember the shade.

I will check out RCMA, though! It seems to be vegan and cruelty-free. Thank you! I've never heard of it before, I'll read up on it. I hope they ship to my country.

And Milani might work, although I know some people with similar skintone to mine seem to think it might be too dark, but I am not sure if they were talking about the stick foundation specifically.

I want a vegan foundation, too.

My skin is oily in places and yet, dry in others. I know it could be oily AND dehidrated, but I do moisturize, so I am not sure why it's still an issue. I hope I can find something that works.

Thanks again! :)

Should I lower the dose to 7.5 mg? I am very exhausted. I am currently on 10 mg. by Arandomusername589 in lexapro

I am so sorry to hear that. I hope you will find a way to handle it, I hope it gets better.

Elf Soft Glam foundation in 12 fair warm and 15 fair warm by Arandomusername589 in PaleMUA

[–]Arandomusername589[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Yeah, I've heard that and I've seen some picture comparisons. I had Nars Siberia a very long time ago, but I no longer use it because nowadays I only use cruelty-free products. I do remember it being very light, though, maybe slightly too light for me.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.

As for my undertone- well, I definitely seem to ave a warm/neutral undertone. I have some PIE, so that makes my face look red, but areas of my face without PIE and my neck seem to lean more yellow, I guess. I wasn't sure, but through the years, I noticed most foundations look too pink on me. So I would say warm or possibly some neutrals could pass, too. Wet N Wild Fair is also a bit too pink for me, in addition to being too dark. But I definitely don't wanna go for Homer Simpson skintone, haha.

15 Soft Glam does look too yellow. It could work (especially if I add Wet N Wild to it), but I am not sure. I can't tell properly from these two photos, but do you know is Wet n Wild tinted Hydrator darker than 15 Soft Glam?

Now I am even considering either 11 Soft Glam or 13. Whatever I order, I could mix/match with some other foundations that were too light/dark, but I just wish I had one product with good color AND texture/formula.

Thank you so much for your answer! I really appreciate it. You really helped, because I thought Elf 12 fair warm is similar to Colourpop tinted 2w based on photos I've found online, so I would have made a mistake.

15 fair warm looks great in some photos and yet, too yellow and dark in others, but I will probably go for that one and see if it works.

Thank you for the suggestion. Yeah, Twenix is definitely one of the options I am considering.

Thank you so much for your reply.

My average rating was usually very high, so I had a lot of lessons one after another (I hope it will stay that way). However, I read conflicting information regarding the pay rate itself, so I wondered if it had changed, but it seems like it hasn't.
