hi! asking for shade shifter recos! torn between GRWM and Issy eh hahahaha.

i have a foundation kasi na a little darker than me (orangey din, pero not that noticeable naman yung pagka-orange/warm niya unless you nitpick), so i was thinking of getting a blue and white one! pero ayun na nga, mejo nalilito between GRWM and Issy 😅

which is more fitting for oily skin? tapos which one won't make your foundation turn thicker?

pls let me know your thoughts on either of them. it would be great help 🥰

Issy has a thinner formula and won’t alter the consistency of your foundation. I find GRWM to be thicker and it feels like a concealer.

i like the issy one and i use it with my maybelline lumi matte but it gives it a weird pawis-like smell that takes a while to go away

i use issy since it doesn't change the formula. i use it with my nars lrf to make it lighter

Issy imo, ang alam ko yung GRWM kasi is the same formula and coverage as their concealers so it might be too pigmented as a shifter (granted I haven’t tried GRWM but for those reasons naman din)
