Laura has great foundations for oily skin. My pores are quite big and it covers them very well.

Thanks for replying! I used to have the oil free in porcelain ivory, but it made me look a little like my face was stained with tea, it was slightly brown! My skin is pale and yellow undertoned, no brown in it (I’m a redhead with blue eyes). If the Silk Creme soft ivory is pinkish that would look chalky on me and odd against my very pale white but slightly yellow neck – I’ll try to see a tester first if possible, they don’t sell it in my town, but I could get to London.

thanks again for taking the trouble to check for me!

Kl: I just went and took a look. The Silk Creme is definitely lighter. It also has less of a brown tint to it than the Oil Free. This is especially true after they are blended a bit. Once blended, the tint to the oil free was still a bit apparent, while the Silk Creme appeared pretty much like a true porcelain shade. Funny since it is the other one that carries the porcelain name! Before blending,the Silk Creme looks a bit pinkish, but that blended out well.

If I was Laura Mercier, I would consider switching the shade names on these! They are fairly similar shades, but the differences are noticeable when put side by side (something I had not done before) and I would have swapped their shade names.

Which was paler, oilfree in porcelain ivory, or silk creme in soft ivory? I found porcelain ivory a little too brown for me, wonder if I should try the soft ivory.

thanks
