A Worthy Splurge: La Prairie Skin Caviar Foundation...Swatches of ALL 12 Shades
The La Prairie Skin Caviar Concealer Foundation (also available at Neiman Marcus, Saks, Bloomingdale's) is a foundation-phile's dream. Comprehensively reviewed HERE, this luxurious formula is infused with skincare benefits, lush coverage, impressive lasting power and SPF 15. It also contains a potent coordinating concealer, geniusly housed in the top lid.
In response to a round of requests, I am beyond excited to share swatches of ALL 12 shades; may you find your perfect match!
Kindly scroll on for more details, swatches and images of the foundation in action as well as the Bottom Line...
Official details, courtesy of Nordstrom:
Skin Caviar Concealer Foundation offers full, natural-looking coverage with SPF 15 protection and a dewy finish. A perfectly matched concealer camouflages under-eye darkness and deeper flaws while helping to support skin elasticity. The foundation and concealer formulas are infused with caviar extracts for lifting and firming benefits. It includes a foundation sponge and precision concealer brush in addition to a 2x magnifying mirror in the cap. How to use: - Foundation: Shake well before applying. Use your fingertips or the included foundation sponge to smooth and blend for desired coverage. Coverage may be built by adding another light application as needed. - Concealer: Can be applied prior to or after foundation. Pat the concealer onto skin with your fingertips or the concealer brush. Use the included concealer brush to blend away edges.

To complement the creamy perfection of the La Prairie Skin Caviar Concealer Foundation in Honey Beige, I combined it with the following products for a classic, early 1960's look:
- Chantecaille Compact Soleil in St. Barth (reviewed HERE): This soft tan with a satin finish warms up the face with a natural wash of color.
- La Prairie Cellular Radiance Cream Blush in Peach Glow (reviewed HERE): One of my perennial favorites, this luminous peachy pink is perfect on the apples of one's cheeks.
- Girlactik Face Glow in Lustre (reviewed HERE): I am smitten by this glowing, lilac-tinged illuminator and love placing it on the high points of my face for some extra luminosity.
- Gucci Magnetic Mono Eyeshadow in Oxydus (reviewed HERE and HERE): This rich copper brown has magnificent color payoff and a velvety finish.
- Estee Lauder Sumptuous Knockout Mascara (reviewed HERE): Two coats creates long, voluminous, jet black lashes...so good.
- Surratt Beauty Brow Pomade (reviewed HERE): Just a few sweeps of this brilliant formula and brows are defined and polished.
- Christan Louboutin Lip Definer in Nats (reviewed HERE): A comely pinky nude lipliner that works so well with all the pinky nude lip color in my life.
- Laura Mercier Creme Smooth Lipstick in 60's Pink (reviewed HERE): I forgot how much I love this pale baby pink shade...subtly shimmery while notably creamy, it lends to a muted lip look that still somehow pops!
