Was clearing my stash to make way for the new stuff when I saw this foundation.
Avon True Luminous Liquid Foundation in Beige Ochre
Hm, I think I’ve only used this once? Or twice?
Why did it ever went into the Cold Chamber?
I gave it a good shake, squirt some onto my hand and…
To my horror! Look at this!
Orange to the max! And it’s sooooo dark!!
I don’t care how luminous this foundation is or how featherly like the texture is, but this is so orange-y that it is IMPOSSIBLE to blend in perfectly with my skin which would look invisible.
Say hello to the trash bin, you orange foundie!
Have you girls got an orange foundation too? Tee hee!
hehe.. so far no orange but very fair one lol… I put on it and my face like hantu.

I hate to say it, but that actually looks like it would match my skin pretty well. My skintone is so hard to match

Try diluting the shade with a moisturizer

wah. throw then it’s a bit waste wor.. how bout mixing with other foundation?
[Reply]
Reminds me of Revlon Colorstay foundies. Orange galore.
I bought EH pore base thingie…. and that one was too fair and patchy. Look like can join the pontianak brigade if put too much.
Or maybe I got a bad batch… since it kinda smells like socks and peaches.

I’m so pale that all most foundation, esp drugstore ones, make me look orange hehe. Maybe you can try and mix it with a moisturizer or paler foundation?

i’ve never had much faith in avon foundations. will not be trying any.. ever
[Reply]
aiya! don’t throw ma. it may come in handy ONE day? you know… when you suddenly try fake-tanning and turned orange then you’d probably need an orange foundation? Lol :p

Haha, maybe you kept it for too long. I find that my old foundations will oxidise with time and the colour in the bottle changes…

Sherry: Foundation being too fair is very common, happens to me too!
Mika-chan: Orange tones would suit you? It’s my first time hearing actually! Maybe Bobbi Brown’s foundie can help? Got a pretty wide range they have~
Atelier Gal: Even if I dilute it, the orange cast is still there
Sue: Nah, dowan la. My existing foundie works fine now. Mix liao nanti become problem

Irene: I had never tried Revlon Colorstay though
EH pore base? Is it the peach one? I thought was discon! That one you need to use really little and only on pore areas, whole face usually goes on patchy and a bit too fair 
Gio: My existing foundie now are just the right shade so I can’t really mix. Sigh. Lucky it’s not expensive
Milktea: Their other stuff is pretty good though, especially lip products
Connie: I’ll never be tan! HAHAHAHAHAHA! I think i’d look weird!
Fiona: That maybe the case… hm…

Hi!
I just got the same thing today but in Almond shade.
It blends really well to my skin that when I ask my co-worker if they think I have a foundation on my skin they all said none, so I think it’s ok. I like it. Maybe you just got the wrong shade, you need to test foundies below your cheek and see if it matches the color of your neck. ^^
