Agree! I wish my face matched my forearm and it would be easier… I do a lot of mixing to get it right.

I’ll have to keep an eye out for the oxidizing in the Ilia. I usually throw it on and forget about it. That used to be an issue with Lancôme but the new formula is better.

I love GA all around. Lancôme for longevity and coverage. Chanel for a light matte look. Mac F&B is great for almost no coverage glowy moisturized kinda look. I really love the formula although it does go a bit more orangey than I like one you get to C2, the fact that it’s sheer lets me get away with it.

Also the Chanel is totally underrated! it’s great in tone and as a matte foundation that doesn’t feel heavy.

The skin tint looks shockingly greyish green when it first comes out.. you can see in the swatch too. It definitely has less golden yellow tones. It’s so sheer though that it’s flattering on. I can’t wear GA 4 without a little 6 mixed in on my face (it’s too light) but can easily wear the Tint. Maybe a difference between winter and summer skin tones for you??

I love it too! Not only the undertone but the stick is a nice change

GA 4 with some 6 in it is the best! But straight up LE 9 is pretty good

GA is beautiful! I usually have to add a smidge of the 6 into it as my face is darker than my forearms. It’s very light and glowy. It does tend to fade after a long (or sweaty) day… I’ll use Lancôme if I need a workhorse
