do those foundations from rimmel, no7 etc. that claim to "adapt to your natural skintone" actually work? could i please get answers from people who have actually tried them, and also, would they adapt to ultra fair skin like mine? i have very pale fair skin and its hard to find a foundation that matches, as most colours are peach, apricot, honey, etc... anyway as i said, do these colour adapt foundations actually work, because if they did it would be a great help thanks!

Products can't change colours to match your skin. Certain pigments can react to heat and other stimuli, but I'm guessing that *this* "adaptation" is a marketing gimmick. If you have difficulty finding cosmetics to match your skin, visit a department store and have a professional match it. This way the product will most likely be returnable and you'll actually spend less, considering the amount of product that you've probably already thrown away.

HI yes i have tried them i tried the max factor colour adapt, as i have pale skin, i think i shoud of gone for a darker shade,as i got the colour to match my skin tone which is pale and it made my skin look White and it was quite greasy and powery at the same time. I wouldnt recommend them, as they are quite expensive and arent as good as most foundations. I use Loreal infaliable, its quite expensive but is brillient and lasts all day.

I use a product from Avon that is made to adapt to your skintone. I don't think it works any better than average foundation.
I would try it. Rimmel products aren't that expensive, and every product is different for everyone.

personally i have pure white skin normally and i have found all of these rubbish! they lie too think and heavy even cakey on the skin also making skin appear slightly oragne (i have trid about 5) i have found that the loeral one is the best for MY tone so i would recommend having a look at that! i personally use a small amount of my loeral tru adapt (if thats what its called cant think atm) with moisturiser which makes it spead betterbut giving a little coverage x

I agree marketing gimmick. I would say it is smarter to try lots of foundations to find you exact one but make sure you switch in the winter to a lighter shade so that its exact.

Go to a makeup counter at David Jones or Grace Bros and get them to test one on you
