Potentially daft Laura Geller question

[Tinkerbelle]

As you work your way down the products do the swirls (mix of colours) remain consistent?

My eyeshadow from the recent TSV is about two thirds of the goldy brown and a third of the creamy colour. I prefer using the bit that is mostly cream with a bit of the brown swirled in. I just wondered if the balance of colours changes as you use the product.

I am somewhat amazed as to how they keep the B&B a consistent colour as I should imagine each pallette is slightly different. It doesn't matter on the eyeshadow or the blush. And perhaps it doesn't really matter on the B&B either but it's a very different concept if the foundation can be slightly different each time.

Not moaning. Just wondering.

I don't know about the consistency of the eyeshadows, going down the pallet, as I've never got that far but I have found that the B&B can vary enormously.
I've always ordered Fair, before Porcelain came out, & the ones I've been sent have been very different. Some mostly cream & very light with just a few blobs or streaks of beige or even yellow & they've been ok for me. But others have been so dark that they've been the same as the one & only medium I have from when there was only one colour to buy.

It got so bad that I began to order two or three at once so I could look at them, keep the best & send straight back any that were too dark.
Problem solved now we've got Porcelain. I ordered two kits just incase but there's virtually no difference so I'm keeping both incase we have to wait ages for Porcelain to be back in stock, like in the Us.

i have found variations in the split pan eyeshadows. some pictures you see more light, others more dark and sod's law predicts you will always get the one with the most of the least wanted colour

So far...i mostly use the medium and to be quite honest i havent had a problem. i have always found that the B&B adapts to my colouring (sounds like magic i know but strangely it does) but then again i must stress that i apply it very lightly (roughly the same amount as i would a normal finishing powder) and never over other foundation/makeup. i know in principle the B&B is different every time i use it but on my skin the difference is so subtle i havent been able to notice a change.

however.... this new set, which i bought in medium, seems to be a tad paler. i think, as others have mentioned with the new colour, that this is a new formula and i fear that they all seem to be a little lighter in shade. when i had my play with it on holiday (it was the only one i had with me) i def. needed the blusher to warm me up a bit but then again i do have a little more natural colour to my face atm. Anyhoo, i will have to wait and see as i am currently using the tan version and the balance & bronze duo (it is summer gosh darn it! lol). no doubt i will be using the medium again soon enough.

I've always found her blushers to be very potent: I use a minuscule amount of the berry one as it is so pigment heavy. Ethereal Rose is my favourite and I use this as a day blusher, even though you can use it all over the face.

I agree completely with what others have said with it being a game of chance as to the pigment mix you get with the eyeshadows and powder.

The eyeshadows do stand being wetted well and I've never ha one split yet.

hi, I'm new here, but have been reading for a while, your question prompted me to answer. like everyone else has said each pan is defferent due to how they're made, but my experience is they do remain consistant enough right through. I even smashed one of my shadows so it split in two or 3 peices, added some water to it, and smooshed it back together, needless to say all the colours blended together, I continued to use it and now the swirls are back as I have gone down through the smooshed layer. I'm sure you've tried it but I think that toffee shadow is amazing wet and as a shadow liner.
