I finally ordered the 2 refill vials special. one luminesse and one flawless. I try the flawless sample from last time and it took a bit time for it to settle but after a while, it work ok on my face. No heavy feeling, no powder sitting. I ordered the Luminesse in Neutral Light and the Flawless in Warm Light.

one more thing that i just thought of! consider getting the refill vials in their specials page!
i actually prefer the vial over the jar..! you can tap the vial and get a lesser amount of product out compared to the jar!~ it's cheaper to..!

do you have dry skin?~ flawless is for dry skin. i have dry skin but it doesn't work on me =\ the powder just sits on my face kind of... luminesse and cashmere are a lot better..!

the one i have is  Light Medium Warm. I think it's slight darker but the tone is too yellow. My other trail package is Light Golden and it's way too yellow but OK on the darkness. (but that's flawless)
So I think I will try the neutral tone instead (I am not as yellow as I though).
I think "Light Neutral" for Luminesse looks right. Will order the "Light Medium Neutral" for flawless.

how much darker is warm medium? 1 shade darker? or more? try putting on the foundation on half of your face and leave the other half without make up. if the difference is VERY obvious you may need to go more than a shade lighter. and if you're wearing the foundation on both sides of your face, how much darker is it than your actual skin tone? if everyone can tell that you're wearing sthg too dark than probably go more than one shade. but if you think the difference is minimal (like only you can tell the difference) then just go up a shade..~

Actually I look at my bottle of GA foundation. It's actually 5.
I also tried their luminous sample for warm medium and it's too dark.  But I like the texture.
I emailed them already. Hope they can tell me what to pick. Cos I want to get a large size.

"""I use LM tinted moistorizer in "nude" and I think colour 4.5 for GA foundation."""

I use lm tinted moisturizer in nude as well, but i use 5.5/6 for ga foundation.  so it is hard to tell by just comparing ar.  maybe ask someone who has the product to give you a try ar.

cinderelly

yea email them asap they should be able to give you a color match
you need to figure out what undertones you have as well..! warm, golden, or beige..?

the thing to keep in mind is that luminesse foundations are generally darker than the other formulas. i  wear fair cool in the other formulas with no problems at all but in luminesse it's half a shade too dark for me. i'm planning to get the untinted base to lighten it..!
