Foundation Dupes: Make Up For Ever Y205 Alabaster

As you already know, I had the opportunity to try out many foundations in the last few years. And because I keep every single bottle (for those of you who need help finding their perfect shade), I now have a large variety of foundations on my hands. So I decided to create a new series on the blog, called Foundation Dupes! Let's get started with Make Up For Ever's lightest shade: Y205 Alabaster!

(Vous parlez français? Cliquez ici!)

Please note that these foundations aren't necessarily similar in terms of consistency, finish and coverage. The main purpose of this post is to help you find your shade in other brands, if you want to try something new!

Some of the shades aren't perfect dupes (NARS Oslo and Revlon 110 are darker), but I wanted to include them anyway, in case you were curious to see the difference. I will update this list if I find more dupes.

By the way, I wrote a review for all of these foundations. Simply click on the product name and you will be redirected to my in-depth review with a before/after photo and more swatches!

I hope this helps, and let me know in the comments below if you would like to see dupes of another foundation shade!
