I love the shades for the Lisa Eldridge products but by far prefer the formula, wear, feel, slip and texture of the OG Armani Luminous Silk. I'm not crazy about the new Armani Luminous Silk reformulation and there's no direct shade replacement for the old 1.5.

I heard the Chanel Ultra Le Teint is extremely similar, if not better for a lit from within, second skin look. So now I'm looking into it! Could BD01 or B10 be closest to LE 1.5/2.5?

There are other foundations they have that piqued my interest like the Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation and the N1 Revitalizing Foundation. I was thinking BD01 for both but Les Beiges also has B00 (Lena Allure says this is a pale olive?).

The closest Chanel counter is very far so I'm not sure how else one would get ahold of samples.

Have you tried any of these and what are your thoughts and experiences on the shades and formula matches?

The issue I'm running into is that most popular pinks and roses appear more peachy pink or straight up orange on my skintone. I'm guessing this is the same color theory issue that fair olives run into with lip liners and lipsticks!

I found eyeshadows in the mauve category tend to usually come in midtone or darker shades which always reads as too smoky on my pale skin. Then the popular lilacs and lavenders are too bright and primary/too blue.

I'm not good with color descriptions but I think the words to describe the colors I'm looking for are light blue based dusty pinks/roses or "warm muted lilac or lavender" (learned that from temptalia! The warm means it veers into pink than blue)? Light muted mauve?

What are the eyeshadow versions of Heart Percent Cloudy Mauve? MAC Oyster Girl?

What are eyeshadows that can achieve the silvery dusky pale rose in the first picture but on pale olive skin?

I'd love to hear if you found anything close to this look! I'm very partial to pearl, chrome, opalescent, and metallic finishes but not chunky glitter ones.

What are your experiences with Chanel foundations and shade options for LE T 1.5/foundation 2.5?
