Maybelline BB Stick Fawn Vs Radiance, Swatches, FOTD

           So because I'm excited and nervous and have mixed feelings about the coming week, I really don't have a back story for this post. Ok no, wait. Correction. I hurt my back. You remember? Ya. So when I got a little better, and got out for some work, I couldn't get back home without bringing little makeup beings home with me. So while I thought I'd try the Maybelline BB Cream since I've already tried and reviewed the BB stick in Fawn here, I remembered reading some very wise words from a very wise lady..

 ...Tanveer from ATB; who said "After Ponds TM, this is the one product that has really, really impressed me! It makes all the other BB creams in the market look really bad in comparison, but it is a pity that the shade selection is so terrible."
And considering I loved Fawn, I decided to blend the testers at the store to see if they were blendable, and thankfully they literally melted into each other so beautifully, I decided the BB cream could wait!
So now I just draw a few stripes of each on my face and blend, and get a brilliant match for my skin.

 So why Radiance? While most Indian skintones are happy with Fawn, I needed to balance it out with some pink. Fawn has very strong yellow tones and I don't. That more or less made it look muddy on me. Now Radiance is pinker, and a lot whiter, which on its own would look ashy on my extremely balanced, neutral skintone! Yes, Ladies and gentlemen! I finally found out that my skintone is very neutral. probably the only neutral thing about me!

Story over. Here are the swatches for you, in different lighting!

I've been dusting it with a coat of my trusted TBS Loose Powder to set it completely.

Ok, so be nice and pray for me, alright? Leetil scared and little jumpy I am lately. Worried about tomorrow!
