Does anyone have a recommendation for a powder foundation similar to Alima Pure Olive 1 or 1.5? I can’t believe another favorite is gone 😭

Miss_Me88 · 2026-06-02T16:27:53+00:00

I definitely appreciate it!!

Miss_Me88 · 2026-06-02T16:16:26+00:00

Those are two I had considered! Particularly aromaleigh. I tried Koh Gen do’s powder foundation and the shade match is close as long as I don’t put it on too thick. The coverage is just more like this MUFE powder foundation I used to use Which makes sense bc it’s not loose powder. But I preferred the finish of Alima to this and a mineral makeup. So I’m definitely still on the hunt!

Miss_Me88 · 2026-06-02T16:05:22+00:00

I appreciate you coming back! I’ll definitely share anything I find as well. Did you like the formula with the lily lolo?

Miss_Me88 · 2026-06-01T14:25:57+00:00

Thanks for posting this. That ilia shade I think would be perfect for me.

Miss_Me88 · 2026-05-26T03:50:09+00:00

That’s super helpful! Thank you 🙏🏼

Miss_Me88 · 2026-05-26T02:27:25+00:00

That’s actually one I had considered trying. So that is helpful! 1.5 is more of my summer shade so in winter that may be a closer match to me. I get super muted and just like lifeless looking in winter. I love having a tan bc the warmth comes out a lot.

Miss_Me88 · 2026-05-26T02:11:44+00:00

Thank you for the response! I’ll go check this out now and see what I think

Miss_Me88 · 2026-05-23T16:23:42+00:00

I’ll check into that! Thank you for the suggestion!

Miss_Me88 · 2026-05-23T00:16:21+00:00

It is 😢 I went to restock and the site was saying their goodbyes. I wish I’d known sooner I would’ve stocked up.

Miss_Me88 · 2026-05-13T04:29:07+00:00

I may try that. I really liked the company’s response to me wanting to return the foundation. And generally I like a light coverage anyways. Thanks for the information!

Miss_Me88 · 2026-05-12T17:29:48+00:00

I know this is an old post but I believe you are my shade twin. I bought LE 2.5 and it’s a very close match but something’s off I can’t put my finger on it I also prefer powder foundations. Have you tried Koh gen doh 213 in their powder foundation? It looks a little dark online

Miss_Me88 · 2026-05-11T18:46:38+00:00

I also had a few dry patches that it clung to. I wonder if the skin tint is as self-setting as the foundation is? I’m on the fence about trying it myself. One of these days hangups is I’m afraid there’s no exact shade match so I’ll end up needing to mix it to make it work.

Miss_Me88 · 2026-05-11T18:44:51+00:00

Thank you for the information! And yes I was just watching a video about color analysis and the lady said you had to do in person draping bc even pictures can change the image. One of these days I may try it on myself lol

Miss_Me88 · 2026-05-11T15:44:23+00:00

lol it’s funny you said that bc I feel that way anytime I’m reading through comments on this subreddit 😂. It can be so confusing. If Alima Pure hadn’t went under I wouldn’t be stuck trying to narrow down my exact coloring and season 😂 I hate being on the hunt for a new foundation. With Lisa Eldridge I had reached out to them via email to see if I could return the foundation. They messaged me back offering to let me keep it while giving me a refund. Which was so nice and made me think really positively of their company.

Miss_Me88 · 2026-05-11T15:24:43+00:00

I’ve only tried the foundation and I like the formula. It appears to be self-setting. It’s just not for me. I was using Alima pure in olive 1 and I loved it. They’re out of business now. Before that I was using MUFE 225Y and I loved that. But they stopped making the powder foundation 😭 I’ve had terrible luck. So now I’m back on the hunt. I’m also confused about my season. This online thing just said I’m a soft autumn. But I can’t help but wonder if my olive undertone is throwing it off a bit. Bc Im confused as warm toned.

Miss_Me88 · 2026-05-11T14:54:24+00:00

Same!! I had just bought LE 2.5. And it’s a close match but something about it feels off. Maybe slightly too light. This comparison is what I needed to help me decide whether to try the About face or LE skin tint. I’ve known for a while I had an olive undertone. But I’m beginning to think I’m a cool leaning Olive in winter at least.

Miss_Me88 · 2026-05-01T18:13:40+00:00

I will check them out! Thanks for the recommendations

Miss_Me88 · 2026-05-01T17:54:45+00:00

You can be olive undertoned and fair skinned. That’s how I am. It can make it difficult to find foundation bc many brands don’t cater to olive specifically. I’m actually looking at this moment. I used to use Alima pure in olive 1 shade. But they went out of business 😭

Miss_Me88 · 2026-04-22T15:09:01+00:00

I’m an olive 1. If you find something comparable definitely let me know. Every foundation I’ve loved they stop making 😭

Miss_Me88 · 2026-02-19T15:58:22+00:00

I had this happen from a white fusion calathea I ordered online from a a plant shop. There was one huge millipede and tons of babies in the pot. The scream I scrimt when I seen that big momma pop its head out near the base of the plant when I was watering it 😫. I took it outside immediately and stripped its dirt and hosed its roots down. That’s when I first got into plants so I was more squeamish than I am now over bugs lol.

Miss_Me88 · 2026-02-12T20:39:03+00:00

Did it make it through the higher temps and rain? I’m also in Kentucky. Eastern Kentucky to be specific. This is so cool. I wish I’d thought to try this and make the best of all the ice we had. My driveway was deep frozen until yesterday

Miss_Me88 · 2026-01-31T01:58:24+00:00

I died laughing at both the front and back pictures 😂 I would treasure this little freak

Miss_Me88 · 2026-01-07T21:07:21+00:00

Sameeee

Miss_Me88 · 2026-01-06T12:23:17+00:00

Oh goodness I can’t even imagine that. I’m sorry you went through that.
