440 is your color but they're both pretty on you! I'm so glad a brown girl like me did a thorough review video! When I went to my Sephora they were sold out of foundation & now because of your video I can feel confident ordering online. Great video Mirv!!
Tina Marie yesssss I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this. I need a shade that's between 430 and 440. 430 is not bad but the neutral undertone made it look weird. So I had to go with 440
To me, 450 looked good when you did that highlight. 440 with the full face made you look like one color... but that could be the camera sis! 💁🏾✨. Either way you're beautiful❤️❤️
No you're absolutely right! That's the problem with using foundations your EXACT shade. I'll prolly have to use a brighter highlight with 440. Thanks for bringing that up Deonte. It helps me a lot. 😘
440 cool is also my color and it's DEFINITELY your color, you could tell as soon as you brought it down to your neck. Black girls are amazing. & Rihanna is finally recognizing us for all of our different shades. This was a great review 💕
Thank you beautiful!! The beauty industry is only beginning to recognize us as valued consumers which is baffling but whatever 🙄. While I was in Sephora today (just doing my weekly browsing ☺️), I noticed the Kat Von D Lock It Powder shades. Idk why, it just stood out to me. 8 or so shades of beige/ivory and one "tan" and "dark" shade. Which btw can barely be considered dark. I made my mind right then and there never to support collections like these moving forward. I'm not wasting money anymore fighting to fit in the last shade they always put out for ALL of us. Me and Nyma Tang (with her beautiful self) shouldn't be left to "work with" the same products. If a company doesn't have a range of brown shades, eff it. They don't want our coin and I sure as hell won't give it to em'. We'll go where we're CELEBRATED not TOLERATED. End of rant. Thanks for watching Stacey-Ann 💛
Your skin is FLAWLESSSS!! You're gorgeous. I love the consistency. It almost reminds me of my Lancome foundation. They both look amazing on you. 440 looks like a really good match, but 450 just melted & blended so well 😩 I can see I'm gonna have the same problem trying to find the perfect shade lol
BlackBerry Goddess i kinda thought that about myself 440 matches me perfect but not enough warmth so i have 440 and 450 i add 1 pump of 450 to my 2 pumps 440
Actually, I think 450 makes you look more vibrant...440 comes up a little too neutral for your skin on camera. However, the look after you waited a bit made me a little confused, but my fave on you is 450! Flawless!! Can't wait to get it. BTW, you don't need makeup bc ur skin without is very even and smooth.
My issue with Fenty is that it doesnt seem to have anything for brown girls with yellow undertones, at least not on the darker spectrum. I type in NC50/55 and everyone has the same issues with it being a little to warm for them. Man, i really want some but its looking like i might have to miss this one until the shade ranges expand a bit more
Ya know what? I'm in 100% agreement with you. While I love RiRi and her shade range was inclusive by "normal" industry standards, as a fellow brownie, she could've/should've had 20 of those 40 shades in brown. We're already underrepresented while fair shades are over represented in the makeup universe, so they wouldn't be SOL if she over represented US for a change. I hope she expands as well. Thanks for watching Jasmine 💛
yes. During my research i saw a few women mixing two of her foundations and guess what? they were black women :/ Part of the hype for this brand was that we were no longer going to have to resort to that. I know my pockets are not set up to buy two expensive foundations because i cant find one nice match so again its looking like Ill have to wait for it. While i do appreciate a few more shades, i cant wait for 40 bottles of brown in a row (: Thanks for replying to me!
*does black lady catching the Holy Ghost dance* 🙌🏾 I understand that our black is so beautiful that these companies couldn't possibly replicate each shade and put it in a bottle. I get it... but the fact that we rejoice when a couple 7-8 shades out of 40 is thrown our way speaks volumes to how little representation we get on the shelves. Period point blank, imma need RiRi to RE-RELEASE this collection with some 425's, 435's, 445's, 455's etc...
Just Add Melanin I heard that she's releasing more shades so I assume there will be 445, 455, etc because giiirrrrlll I need 445 😩 but anyways the reason why there's a lot of pale shades is because she included shades for people with albinism. Like the first 3 shades were meant for really pale/albinism with cool, warm, and neutral undertones. But I do agree that she should release more especially the stix because espresso isn't dark enough for the people who use 490 to contour with
440 matches great . I agree with everyone with 450 being a summer color . To me 440 matches your neck area better. Both look amazing though. Your skin is so chocolatey and buttery .
Wait what???You didn't already have on the foundation at the beginning of the video??? Your skin is everything!!!! So smooth and creamy like a dove chocolate bar 😍. I just subscribed to your channel, and I'm gonna need a skincare routine video from you at some point. Teach me your ways!!! 😊
Haha, thanks so much sis! I could totally go for a dove chocolate bar right now, or their ice cream bars 🤤. Ok snap out of it Mirv! I'd love to make a skincare vid someday. Hope you'll stay tuned! 🤗😘
The weird part is that as black women we usually have diff tones in our skin, so it has been a little difficult for us to choose the better shade with this line(not a bad thing at all/ i was excited about the process) The 440 looks flawless! Like you said ... looks like airbrushed skin. 450 also looks good and you made it work with the rest of your makeup😍
Sis, this black girl magic we all possess just comes in too many bomb ass shades! It's complex and fabulous and I'm just glad the industry is STARTING to recognize that
Ayyye Nigeria in the house! Woot woot! I would love to visit one day. I'm so happy this helped. When you get yours come back and lmk how you like it beautiful! 🤗
Based on lighting and completed face 440. At first glance I was torn between the two as well. All the way up to the point that you brought it further down on your neck and held your arm up to remind us of the side by side color comparison. Definitely the 440!!! It looks great on you. I'm ready to try the full line.
Hey Kianna! I understand the dilemma girl. I hope you're able to find 440. In the meantime, maybe you can try boxing 450 with your fave foundation that's a lil too light for ya and see what you come up with. It might end up being your perf shade. Thanks for watching sis! 😘
450 is your dark summer shade! I bought it yesterday I noticed that made my face look summer dark which is a good thing for me. I blended in well during the day. So I have to go and get 440 today though I’ve never considered myself cool.
The “cool” & “warm” labels in this collection were a little strange in my opinion. I wasn’t what I expected either. I looooooved 450, made me feel like a human Hershey bar 🍫🍫🍫 Thanks for watching beautiful
I purchased both too, in addition to 430. I'm having a hard time deciding which works best. I think I'll keep them all. Great advice on working with 450 with highlighting, etc
Both looks great. I think 440 is more on the money but 450 isn't bad either. You are too cute. Just subscribed... about to go see if you have a hair tutorial for the look you're wearing.. love your hair.
Cryssi, I got chyou girl! 🙋🏾 I do have a vid on this unit from China lace wig, it's my fave straight hair to date. I just conwashed and bleached the lace yesterday and it's even better. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing sis. It means so much to me 😘💛
Both look nice on you. I think I like the 450 better. I think it's warmer on you. Gives you more life. I'm pretty close to the same shade, so I appreciate you doing this vid. I think I'll try the 450 as well (by the way, I use 530 suede in Lancome Teint Idolé). Thanks again!
Ugggh, you guys are too sweet. Im so annoyed with my skin 6 out of 7 days of the week and I was so nervous to come on YT and be bare faced, but thank you for being so kind. I love hearing from my brown beauties 💕
Thank you so much for this I went to Sephora earlier and the lighting was so dark and they had me in a 480 turns out I'm a 450! You are awesome! For this tutorial
Yo they be buggin in Sephora lol. 480?! That's too much of a leap from 450 smh. I'm glad you were able to find your actual shade sis. Thanks for watching 😘
Your skin looks smoooothhhh like velvet! Both shades look great. I agree that 440 is winter and 450 is summer, however I prefer the 450 because You can make it work all year round depending on the concealer choice and contour. Melanin at it's best :)
Hey sis! I haven't worn MAC in a while, but I found that NW 45 was just a smidge too light for me and NW 47 was too dark. I'm right in between those two. I believe I'm a 7.5 in Matchmaster. Hope this helps
Just Add Melanin hey sis we are the same color and I was told I was about nw45 in Mac also but I don't use it.. But I got a sample of 450 and I love it but now you got me thinking u need to get a sample of 440 also. That may be my winter shade while 450 is more summer!! Great review beautiful!!!
Omg I had this exact issue! Thx for doing this video, so helpful. We're the same 2 shades, I'm just going to get both😂 440 cuz winter is coming and 450 for summer...well that's when they come back in stock 😅
Love this video! It's hard to find youtubers with similar skin as me; I also have a slight hyper pigmentation along the lower portion of my face. you have a beautiful complexion. Thank you for the video.
Thank you! Girl it took a hot minute for me to figure out my Fenty shade. It’s def a series of trial and error with this collection, but it’s worth it when you find your perfect match. When you try 440, let me know how you like it 💕
New Subscriber!! Thank you for doing this video! When I went to Sephora I swatched myself for 450 but when she applied it - she recommended 440. But now that I'm home and compared it with the foundations I'm used to - I was thinking about getting the 450. Your video really helped with my decision. I think I'm going to buy 450 - so I can alternate.
Welcome Orsayor! 🤗 I'm so happy this was helpful to you. I love both of these shades so much girl. If you're similiar to my skin tone, 450 really warms up the perimeter of the face and gives that melted chocolate look perfectly. If you can get your hands on it, I think it's worth it. Thanks so much for watching sis! 😘
Thank you so much! We're so used to only having 2 shades to choose from, now we got some options so I would suggest that all brownies at least swatch the two shades before and after whichever shade they think they are. Thanks for watching Bunny!
Think Im going to purchase a sample of 440. I agree I like my foundation to look nice, natural and chocolate as well. Both 440 and 450 look beautiful on you btw.
This is my first time on your channel! It was suggested because I wanted to see shade 440 (which is sold out in my area 😫) but thought my red undertones would need 450. Subbed my melanin beauty! 👑❤️
Thank you queen! Welcome to our lil family 🤗. I heard practically all of the brown shades were now sold out. I hope she restocks soon 🤞🏾. Thanks for watching babe!
I say 440, because 450 kinda makes it look like hyperpigmentation around your nose and mouth area and it's too big of a difference in contrast to your highlighted areas. You are beautiful and thanks for sharing.
You can work them both 💖 I purchased both 440 for the winter cause u get lighter during then and 450 during the summer should be the right shade. I love💖💖💖 this foundation my pics always look perfect when I wear Fenty💗💖💗
I love the 440 side. I've been struggling with finding my match too. Lol but I've been enjoying the struggle though. Like you said we could get away with both.
I'm a makeup artist I and agree 450 gives you a slight tan or creates a shadow near your neck and shoulder 440 is right on they both look good Oh lalala I love this loving Both options options
The MUA at Sephora told me the same thing! I don't know which one to pick tho...I feel like the lightest shade gives me a nice glow but the darker one adds more dimension to my face and makes it look less ''flat/boring''.
xNnix xVvix with the darker shade you can experiment with strobing / highlight even contour shades if your comfortable Play around with different blushes on each one , enjoy yourself because in a flick of a wipe it can all come off 😍
Excellent Shamika! Yea if you're a 440 I think you can get away with both as long as you highlight and contour accordingly. I'd love to hear how you like em. Thanks for watching sis! 🙋🏾
Thank u so much for this. I'm international and have to purchase online and doing my research I was stuck in these 2 440 & 450. I'm scared of 440 cos I'm warm and it's described as cool and the model Leomie for that color is darker than me. It's a bit worrying for dark warm tones shade finder suggests 400 and 450 only. Is closing from neutral shades a safe option for dark warm girls to have more choice? For reference I'm 355 coconut in Maybelline matte and poreless, carob in black opal, HC12 in blackup. HELP🙏🏾
Hey Tammi! Unfortunately I don't have carob in B.O or anything from Blackup. However, I do have 355 Coconut. It's kinda light on on me. If 355 is a perf match for you, 440 might be a lil too dark for you, but after highlighting it might be perf. It's just a matter of preference. If you want something slightly darker than 355, 440 is good. Otherwise, you may want to try 430. I hope whichever you go with makes you happy sis. Lmk how it goes! 💞
Perfect! Yea, this is def a build as you go foundation and less is more. I wore it for the first time in a long time the other day and forgot how dope it really is. New fave... again lol
Thank you queen! Yea, sometimes I have to manipulate and finesse the sitch-y-ation a lil bit, but ultimately I'll get the desired shade (if I'm lucky 😝) Thanks for watching!
This is Ingrid,hi Merv ;), thank you for doing this comparison video. I really appreciate that, I love your episodes. Please keep it up I want to see more and more of your videos.
Hey Ingrid! Thank you so much for watching girl! This means a lot to me and I appreciate your support more than you know. I will def try to continue making vids that'll be worthy of your viewership. 💛
Yea I think that was a lot of people's experience. Because of the rich color of the shades and slight oxidation, most folks can get away with going with the preceding shade. Thanks so much for watching sis 😘😘😘
OMG THE HYPE IS REAL ABOUT THIS FOUNDATION IT IS SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL 440 MATCHED ME PERFECTLY THANKS AGAIN FOR THE COMPARISON JUST GORGEOUS NOW JUST HAS TO SEE HOW IT HOLDS UP I APPLIED AT 6AM I GET OFF WORK AT 4PM.
I had the same problem. I felt like the 440 matched and gave me a brighter look. The 450 was beautiful and gave me more of a dewy look. Which one did you decide to keep?
you are like a chocolate Yara Shahidi ( same look, voice lol )😍😍😍😍 Gorgeous love!!!! the 450 looked amazing but then again they both looked freaking fab 👏🏾
I thought I saw a grey hue to the cool shade but as it oxidizes I think it dissapears so thats good. Either shade but by the endof the vid I liked the cool side. Looks good either way cannot wait to try.
Yea girl, it's def worth looking into for sure. I was in Sephora yesterday and the only shades left are some of the beige shades and the deepest shade. I hope you get your hands on one. Lmk how you like it! 🙋🏾
Taneshia I think you're so right! I wish I could've explained it this way in the vid. Couldn't find the words 😅. 440 is for my natural everyday gals and 450 could be for when you tryna snatch edges AND eyebrows if used with a bomb ass concealer and highlight. Thanks so much for watching sis! 😘😘😘
I know I’m late to the game but I like 450 Especially after you Contoured it pop even more and it’s a beautiful chocolate 🍫 450 is a neutral color and why I know I just left Sephora and I was reading up on it for 450 is neutral , and their 445 It’s olive undertones with a little golden which olive is little bit of yellow, And the 440 look nice Tad bit but ashy but it’s nice too And after the contour it kind of took away some of the ashes on the 440 Shade other than that you’re beautiful it’s like a nice beautiful airbrush finish, and you’re Beautiful too! 😍👩🏾🦲🥰
Hey brownies! I mixed these two shades in my latest video. Check it out and lmk what you think 🤗
440 for sure!!!!
Omg!! Thanks I was thinking about doing that👍🏼💯❤
Lml I was thinking the same. I'm like you gotta take off the makeup first to put the makeup on🤔
Discoloration? Girl you mean natural contour ! the whole time I thought you already had on a full face...Beautiful
That's sooo sweet of you Dina! We can def spin my hyperpgmentation and discoloration to "natural contour." I'm bout it! 😂👌🏾Thanks for watching sis
AGREED
Exactly! Her skin looks so good I thought she had full face
440 is your color but they're both pretty on you! I'm so glad a brown girl like me did a thorough review video! When I went to my Sephora they were sold out of foundation & now because of your video I can feel confident ordering online. Great video Mirv!!
Awwww thanks boo! Ya know I luh ya like cooked food. Just not seafood 😉😝
Just Add Melanin 😂😂
Overnight sensation Jerry knight
iamroxierox I can make an order for my wife now!!
I think they look great! Your right 440 is your 3 season color and 450 your late spring/summer look 😊
Thanks sis! 💛💛💛
I have the same dilemma . Ughhhh I feel it should have been a shade in between with golden undertone.
Word! I need RiRi to hit us with that 445 lol Thanks for watching Tina! 💛
Tina Marie yesssss I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this. I need a shade that's between 430 and 440. 430 is not bad but the neutral undertone made it look weird. So I had to go with 440
Same!!!!
She's bringing 40 more out so there are going to be in betweens
Lawd 🙌🏾
To me, 450 looked good when you did that highlight. 440 with the full face made you look like one color... but that could be the camera sis! 💁🏾✨. Either way you're beautiful❤️❤️
No you're absolutely right! That's the problem with using foundations your EXACT shade. I'll prolly have to use a brighter highlight with 440. Thanks for bringing that up Deonte. It helps me a lot. 😘
440 cool is also my color and it's DEFINITELY your color, you could tell as soon as you brought it down to your neck. Black girls are amazing. & Rihanna is finally recognizing us for all of our different shades. This was a great review 💕

Flawless?! Yes, POST foundation 😂 Thank you tho sis. It's such a toss up, but whichever you go with will look gorge on you 👌🏾
I love them both but I think 450 looks better on you - it gives you a more contoured look and less washed out. Love the makeup
Thanks sis! I agree 450 gives me a warmer and richer tone. Wish my face was actually that color lol
I think 450 looks better on u. 440 is just a bit ashy to me. I think I'll get 450
I hear ya. 450 creates nice contrast after highlighting. Thanks for watching!
BlackBerry Goddess i kinda thought that about myself 440 matches me perfect but not enough warmth so i have 440 and 450 i add 1 pump of 450 to my 2 pumps 440
BlackBerry Goddess 450 makes her darker
I agree 450 looks better on her 440 makes her look kinda gray

440 matches great . I agree with everyone with 450 being a summer color . To me 440 matches your neck area better. Both look amazing though. Your skin is so chocolatey and buttery .
Ummm you're one to talk about chocolate buttery skin Ms Cherell! You're stunning sis. Thanks so much for watching and your feedback 💛

Yeah I Agree ! And my skin color changes so much throughout the year in addition to this. So it's a little bit harder.
they both could work! I like them both and they both melts in your skin flawlessly 😩
Thank you sis! This foundation is a keeper on coverage, finish, and consistency alone 🤙🏾
Thank you for putting your shade types in the Title. 440 looks perfect.
Thank you for watching sis! I hope it was helpful. I wanted to get more shades to share with you guys buuuuuut, the way my account set up... 😅
cocoanutz14 i
Yes. We're the same color. I agree that the 450 is for after sun. This was so helpful!
Im so glad this was helpful! I'll always share my quest for the best foundation match for us sis. Thanks for watching 💛
440 nd 450 in the summer or when u have a tan
I'm thinking along the same lines Tima. Thanks for watching watching girl 🙋🏾
They both look great on you. I really couldn't choose one over the other. Thank you for reviewing both.
Thank you queen! It's my pleasure, thanks for watching 💛
I love you. couldn't tell which one to pick & I've been stuck as I can't get matched in Nigeria. And you're the first person to compare both. My hero💗
Ayyye Nigeria in the house! Woot woot! I would love to visit one day. I'm so happy this helped. When you get yours come back and lmk how you like it beautiful! 🤗
Sending love and warmth from Lagos, Nigeria! You should def visit sometime. Girl I got you as soon as I get my hands on it💗

It's always a pleasure. I'll be sure to post a picture when I'm all dolled up.
I'm having the same problem! My 450 made me look like I had a mud mask on. I need to try the 440! Love your video!!

Thank you so much for this I went to Sephora earlier and the lighting was so dark and they had me in a 480 turns out I'm a 450! You are awesome! For this tutorial
Yo they be buggin in Sephora lol. 480?! That's too much of a leap from 450 smh. I'm glad you were able to find your actual shade sis. Thanks for watching 😘
I love both, but 450 looks perfect
Thank you for weighing in Gayle! I appreciate you watching 💛
I agree .. 450 looks perfect to in my opinion
Your skin is just FLAWLESS!!! You're absolutely beautiful 😍😍
You are too sweet! Thank you suh macccch! 🙈😘
GIRL!!!!!! Tell my why i had the same issue when i got color matched. I did the same thing in my video. I didnt know which shade to use.
Wait you not serious with that vid?! HYSTERICAL. I don't even care about the foundation. Subbed! 🤣🤣🤣
Your skin looks smoooothhhh like velvet! Both shades look great. I agree that 440 is winter and 450 is summer, however I prefer the 450 because You can make it work all year round depending on the concealer choice and contour. Melanin at it's best :)
Ooooooo girl, you makin me smile all goofy n stuff ☺️ Thank you so much for watching queen😘
Thanks 450 is definitely your shade. I have a red undertone to my skin and im picking both up this weekend, thank you very much for this video!
Thanks for watching Shyra 💕
Your skin is AMAZING!!! Just flawless...naturally!!
Awww thank you sis 🙈😘
440 works well. I think I'm your color. What color are u in mac?
Hey sis! I haven't worn MAC in a while, but I found that NW 45 was just a smidge too light for me and NW 47 was too dark. I'm right in between those two. I believe I'm a 7.5 in Matchmaster. Hope this helps
Just Add Melanin hey sis we are the same color and I was told I was about nw45 in Mac also but I don't use it.. But I got a sample of 450 and I love it but now you got me thinking u need to get a sample of 440 also. That may be my winter shade while 450 is more summer!! Great review beautiful!!!
Hey! Do you know what shade you are in Clinique? I'm 28 Clove and I love both colors on you. Trying to figure out if 440 or 450 is the shade for me.
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! it helped me out so much for my shade because i was stuck between 440 & 450 too
Girl I STAY stuck in between shades lol. ''Tis my life story. Thanks so much for watching 🤗
Omg I had this exact issue! Thx for doing this video, so helpful. We're the same 2 shades, I'm just going to get both😂 440 cuz winter is coming and 450 for summer...well that's when they come back in stock 😅
They both look perfect. It boils down to preference. I was debating between these 2 shades and went with 450.
Excellent! Please do let me know how you like it Sadge! Thanks for watching sis 💛
I was torn between both...we are about the same shade.. I'm getting both once they are back in stock... You're beautiful...
Thank you Deidre! I hope you get your hands on em soon, they're really awesome 💛
I would say 450 is good for full face because once you contour I think the 440 would look a pinch too light but both look gorgeous on you dear ❤️
I prefer 440 on you especially as the color is consistent with your neck. Perfect
I agree, thank you so much for watching! 💛
Love this video! It's hard to find youtubers with similar skin as me; I also have a slight hyper pigmentation along the lower portion of my face. you have a beautiful complexion. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for watching Kamryn! 💕
I love this video! Thxs! I brought 450 yesterday wasn’t sure if I liked it, now I think I’m going to tests out the 440 too...
Thank you! Girl it took a hot minute for me to figure out my Fenty shade. It’s def a series of trial and error with this collection, but it’s worth it when you find your perfect match. When you try 440, let me know how you like it 💕
U need No foundation!! Your natural skin is to die for😌❤
YOU are to die for sis! Thanks for watching! 😘
I was only seconds in when I liked and subscribed lol You're stunning:) Hey lady!x
You are too sweet 😩 Thank you sis, welcome! 😘😘😘
Love love love this video girl! What brush are you using?
Thank you Kasey!!! This is a BH cosmetics brush. It's from the sculpt and blend set. 💛
New Subscriber!! Thank you for doing this video! When I went to Sephora I swatched myself for 450 but when she applied it - she recommended 440. But now that I'm home and compared it with the foundations I'm used to - I was thinking about getting the 450. Your video really helped with my decision. I think I'm going to buy 450 - so I can alternate.
Welcome Orsayor! 🤗 I'm so happy this was helpful to you. I love both of these shades so much girl. If you're similiar to my skin tone, 450 really warms up the perimeter of the face and gives that melted chocolate look perfectly. If you can get your hands on it, I think it's worth it. Thanks so much for watching sis! 😘
As soon as you say if you gives you the melted chocolate look - I added it to my To-Buy List. :)
I was given 450, but I had the same problem. I'm going to try 440 instead. This was really helpful!
Thank you so much! We're so used to only having 2 shades to choose from, now we got some options so I would suggest that all brownies at least swatch the two shades before and after whichever shade they think they are. Thanks for watching Bunny!
Both looked nice on you. I have a tan right now so the 400 fits me perfectly. I love this foundation.
Thank you beauty! I love this thing so much I don't even want to use it 😩😂
They are both pretty on you . 440 is more you to me but that 450 looks like a Matt finish on you . I love them both ☺️
Thank you Dominique! I think 440 is a closer fit too. Thanks for watching sis 💛
They both look great on you, I think I'll get both like you did an use one in summer and the other in cooler weather!
Yea that's a great idea! TFW 💛
Think Im going to purchase a sample of 440. I agree I like my foundation to look nice, natural and chocolate as well. Both 440 and 450 look beautiful on you btw.
This is my first time on your channel! It was suggested because I wanted to see shade 440 (which is sold out in my area 😫) but thought my red undertones would need 450. Subbed my melanin beauty! 👑❤️
Thank you queen! Welcome to our lil family 🤗. I heard practically all of the brown shades were now sold out. I hope she restocks soon 🤞🏾. Thanks for watching babe!
Which did you go with? I have the same problem
Jenell G. 440
Soulance Life By Gina did it go well with your red? I'm leaning more towards 450 after this vid
Jenell G. I only have a sample bc they didn't have any actual brown foundation in stock 😑. I didn't try the sample just yet though.
I say 440, because 450 kinda makes it look like hyperpigmentation around your nose and mouth area and it's too big of a difference in contrast to your highlighted areas. You are beautiful and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for weighing in Letitia! I appreciate your feedback sis 🤗
First off your mad pretty 🍫& yo hair is laidddd like yessss 🙌🏽 idk how I didn't find you sooner 😻😻
Nyla you're such a sweetheart! Thank you 🙏🏾 We ALL got this black girl magic ✨😘
Thank you for uploading this video. I will definitely get a 440 since we are the same complexion.
PERRRRR. FECT! I'm so glad this helped. Please let me know how good of a match 440 is for ya when you get it sis. Thanks for watching! 💛
Both look great. Both melt into your skin & blend beautifully. Like you said 440 year around & 450 summer. 🌹
Thank you Crystal! In that case, can't wait for summer 18'! Woot woot 🍫🍫😝
Looks great!!! 440 looks super natural. What color lipstick do you have on?
This was Tenacious Brown (eye pencil stick) with Lena Lashes "James" on top. Thanks for watching Karintha! 🤗
You can work them both 💖 I purchased both 440 for the winter cause u get lighter during then and 450 during the summer should be the right shade. I love💖💖💖 this foundation my pics always look perfect when I wear Fenty💗💖💗
Girl we be lookin flawless with Fenty. Thanks for watching! 💕
450 is very pretty on you! Your skin is so beautiful!
Thank you sis! My skin is so dramatic and annoying but thank you for saying that. I really appreciate you watching and weighing in 🙏🏾💛
I love the 440 side. I've been struggling with finding my match too. Lol but I've been enjoying the struggle though. Like you said we could get away with both.
It's def a fun struggle 🤗 Thank you for watching Tina!
you can wear both I like 440 it match your neck better
Thank you Seania! I'm thinking the same. Thanks for watching! 💛
Im surprise 450 didnt have u looking crazy! They both blended so well! I think this screams QUALITY!
I'm a makeup artist I and agree 450 gives you a slight tan or creates a shadow near your neck and shoulder 440 is right on they both look good Oh lalala I love this loving Both options options
Thank you Eurasia! I agree. I'm leaning more toward 440. But on those days when I wanna be dark chocolate, I'm reaching for 450 💁🏾😝 #effit
The MUA at Sephora told me the same thing! I don't know which one to pick tho...I feel like the lightest shade gives me a nice glow but the darker one adds more dimension to my face and makes it look less ''flat/boring''.
xNnix xVvix with the darker shade you can experiment with strobing / highlight even contour shades if your comfortable Play around with different blushes on each one , enjoy yourself because in a flick of a wipe it can all come off 😍
your skin is amazing, i’m jealous 😍
Who's skin is amazing? 😱 Laeshaun I REALLY don't, but thank you so much for saying that 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😘
440 is definitely your shade. Thank you so much for this review I will be buying both shades as well. I think I'm 440 as well
Excellent Shamika! Yea if you're a 440 I think you can get away with both as long as you highlight and contour accordingly. I'd love to hear how you like em. Thanks for watching sis! 🙋🏾
Thank u so much for this. I'm international and have to purchase online and doing my research I was stuck in these 2 440 & 450. I'm scared of 440 cos I'm warm and it's described as cool and the model Leomie for that color is darker than me. It's a bit worrying for dark warm tones shade finder suggests 400 and 450 only. Is closing from neutral shades a safe option for dark warm girls to have more choice? For reference I'm 355 coconut in Maybelline matte and poreless, carob in black opal, HC12 in blackup.
HELP🙏🏾
Hey Tammi! Unfortunately I don't have carob in B.O or anything from Blackup. However, I do have 355 Coconut. It's kinda light on on me. If 355 is a perf match for you, 440 might be a lil too dark for you, but after highlighting it might be perf. It's just a matter of preference. If you want something slightly darker than 355, 440 is good. Otherwise, you may want to try 430. I hope whichever you go with makes you happy sis. Lmk how it goes! 💞
Your skin is flawless!
Thank you Cena 😘
You helped me pump my brakes on applying so much foundation up front but to build as I go. Thx! Pretty!:)
Perfect! Yea, this is def a build as you go foundation and less is more. I wore it for the first time in a long time the other day and forgot how dope it really is. New fave... again lol
You are so beautiful! Love your channel, I found you while searching for the Maybelline matte and poreless foundation.
Both shades look great on you!!! Like you I can rock red undertones and golden undertones.
Thank you queen! Yea, sometimes I have to manipulate and finesse the sitch-y-ation a lil bit, but ultimately I'll get the desired shade (if I'm lucky 😝) Thanks for watching!
This is Ingrid,hi Merv ;), thank you for doing this comparison video. I really appreciate that, I love your episodes. Please keep it up I want to see more and more of your videos.
Hey Ingrid! Thank you so much for watching girl! This means a lot to me and I appreciate your support more than you know. I will def try to continue making vids that'll be worthy of your viewership. 💛
I purchased 440 today and I'm very pleased. The 440 is cool and the 450 is warm I believe. The warm shade was too red for me and the 440 was 👌🏽
Perf! I'm so happy it's a good fit for you. Lmk how you like the wear from it 🤗
I think the 450 is slightly to dark for you however the 440 fits you well. It's right on point with your skin complexion
Yea that seems to be the overall consensus. Thanks for watching! 💛
I was unsure when I went in sephora. I thought I was 450 but 440 worked better for me. I think the 440 looks great on you.
Yea I think that was a lot of people's experience. Because of the rich color of the shades and slight oxidation, most folks can get away with going with the preceding shade. Thanks so much for watching sis 😘😘😘
OMG THE HYPE IS REAL ABOUT THIS FOUNDATION IT IS SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL 440 MATCHED ME PERFECTLY THANKS AGAIN FOR THE COMPARISON JUST GORGEOUS NOW JUST HAS TO SEE HOW IT HOLDS UP I APPLIED AT 6AM I GET OFF WORK AT 4PM.
Hey sis! The hype is def real. I'd love to hear how it held up for ya. Let us know!
What lipcolor do you have on in the beginning of the video?? It’s gorgeous
Thank you Ebony! This is James from Lena Lashes 🤗
Ur skin is literally flawless I can’t even tell the difference beteeen u having makeup on and not having it on
Oh Rachel! Thanks so much 🙏🏾 I don’t see that at all, but I appreciate you for watching 💕
Going to see if this wk for my wigs the scalp inside lace. Thanks for sharing
I had the same problem. I felt like the 440 matched and gave me a brighter look. The 450 was beautiful and gave me more of a dewy look. Which one did you decide to keep?
Interesting! I kept 440, but now I want 450 back! 😂
I end up keeping them both. So girl go get your 450.
440 to me is your skin tone for a flawless finish and 450 is if you want to be a little on the bronze side. they both compliment you either way
Thank you sis! Yea I agree 450 is like straight chocolate goodness. I appreciate you watching 💕
I wear NW45 in MAC and was just matched to 440 in Sephora! We're twinsiesss lol I just subscribed!
Welcome kween! 👯♀️
you are like a chocolate Yara Shahidi ( same look, voice lol )😍😍😍😍
Gorgeous love!!!! the 450 looked amazing but then again they both looked freaking fab 👏🏾
Not Yara girl 🙈. Never heard that, and I don’t see it, but I’ll take it and 🏃🏾♀️😘
450 is your shade, it looks beautiful!
Thank you for watching! 🤗
I thought I saw a grey hue to the cool shade but as it oxidizes I think it dissapears so thats good. Either shade but by the endof the vid I liked the cool side. Looks good either way cannot wait to try.
Yea girl, it's def worth looking into for sure. I was in Sephora yesterday and the only shades left are some of the beige shades and the deepest shade. I hope you get your hands on one. Lmk how you like it! 🙋🏾
440 is your shade for a natural look, but 450 is good for an effortless contour! You're beautiful either way!
Taneshia I think you're so right! I wish I could've explained it this way in the vid. Couldn't find the words 😅. 440 is for my natural everyday gals and 450 could be for when you tryna snatch edges AND eyebrows if used with a bomb ass concealer and highlight. Thanks so much for watching sis! 😘😘😘
Just Add Melanin yessss! 😘 new sub!
you have naturally flawless skin. did you use the same brush for both sides?
Thank you! 🤗 I did use the same brush but I wiped it off with a cleansing wipe in between each shade. Thanks for watching!
You are gooooorrrrgeous 😍
YOU are gorgeous! Thanks so much for watching. Great channel btw, keep it up 👍🏾
Kaylah Mercedes CT GT ft see it
I like the 440, a lot. But I completely agree that after highlighting it may be a better option to use 450.
I have the same issue 450 was wayyy to red but I mix it with my Lancôme foundation. When they are back in stock I’m getting 440
👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I think I'm in between both these shades think 450 might be a little too red but I'm gonna go get some samples xx
Good idea! Lmk which shade you go with 🤗 Thanks for watching Michelle!
Omg! So pretty! Wht lipstick u wearing hun?? Plz tell me
I know I’m late to the game but I like 450 Especially after you Contoured it pop even more and it’s a beautiful chocolate 🍫 450 is a neutral color and why I know I just left Sephora and I was reading up on it for 450 is neutral , and their 445 It’s olive undertones with a little golden which olive is little bit of yellow, And the 440 look nice Tad bit but ashy but it’s nice too And after the contour it kind of took away some of the ashes on the 440 Shade other than that you’re beautiful it’s like a nice beautiful airbrush finish, and you’re Beautiful too! 😍👩🏾🦲🥰
So GEORGEOUS instantly subscribed ! Also what do you have on your lips it's so pretty?!
Thank you! I'm so happy to have you as part of the fam🤗. I'm wearing Jordana's Tenacious Brown pencil all over my lips with Lena Lashes James on top 😘
