A few weeks ago I did something absolutely crazy. I did an online color match for foundation. Yes, that’s right online… not in person. Another downfall due to Covid-19, as we can’t try them out in person anymore. I was desperate for a new foundation, so I had to take the leap of faith.

Sephora has this function online where you choose the new foundation you want to buy and color match what you already have to the new brand. That sounds like a bunch of gibberish so let me break it down more. I wanted to get the Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation, so I clicked a color match for this foundation. I then searched for the foundation I already have, which is the Cover FX Power Play foundation in G40. It then matched G40 to shade 250 for Fenty. IT WAS SO EASY! Another plus to this, if you want to get the Fenty concealer it’s going to be the same shade (in my case 250) as the foundation…Wow Rihanna just keeps winning. 

After buying my products from my local Sephora of course I had to try them out. What type of person would I be if I didn’t. When I first put it on I had thought it was pretty accurate, but was maybe just looking a little 0.0001 darker than my other foundation. I tried again when I went full out makeup and realized it looked wayyyyy darker because I put on too much, so I gave it one more chance. I put on a very light layer and it then looked accurate to my skintone.

Moral of this story is I don’t know if I need to go a shade lighter or not because I don’t think anyone has the guts to tell me if it looks bad. Though It is so close to my skin tone. My mind is in shambles trying to figure out if I should exchange it. Also I’m pretty sure I have maybe 24 hours to do so, Yikes!

… mom if you’re reading this don’t worry I did not wait last minute to return this. I am happy with the shade, don’t get mad! Hehe!

What I can definitely confirm is that Fenty foundation and concealer are products of great quality. It doesn’t feel like I have makeup on, it is easy to apply, and it is definitely a long wear soft matte as it claims. I highly recommend Fenty Beauty products for any makeup items you are searching to purchase. I also use their lipsticks, and the setting powder in the shade of butter. It smells like heaven, and it doesn’t feel cakey at all. I almost forgot to mention it has cute packaging!!
