I've mentioned before that I can wear either shade 10 or shade 15 in Suqqu foundations, and I thought it might be useful to post some swatches of both of these shades. 10 has a slightly more pink/peach tone, where 15 has a stronger gold/yellow tone.
I've applied a lot of foundation in these swatches, partly so you can see the difference in the undertones, and partly because I was a bit clumsy with both the bottle and sample sachet. This is the Liquid Foundation Aqua, which I bought in shade 10 as part of a foundation coffret last year (the 15 is from a sample sachet from the Suqqu counter). 15 is the top swatch, 10 is the bottom swatch. This picture was taken in natural, overcast, light.
The sun came out for this picture, and the difference between the two shades is less apparent in the brighter sunlight, and when I apply an amount closer to the dose I'd typically use when applying to my face. 15 is on the left, 10 on the right.
The two shades blended into my skin. I'd blend a bit more on my face, but I left slightly unblended so you can see the difference in tone between the two shades. I would say that they are both very similar depth of colour, but I feel that 10 brightens and lifts my skin a little more.

Hi Grace, in this last year has Suqqu made anything fairer than these two shades? I'm anxiously awaiting for something around the NC10-NC15 part of the spectrum....
ReplyDeleteHello Rosanna - yes, in the new Frame Fix foundations 001 and 101 are both lighter than 10 and 15. 001 is yellow based, and 101 is neutral. However, I am not confident they'd stretch to NC10. I think in the cream/liquid 101 might work for NC15, but in the pact foundation it is noticeably darker and would match me (NC20). I didn't have a close look at the 001, but could have another look at it next time I'm in Selfridges.
