Looking for a dupe to Bare Minerals Nude Beach

Post by crimsonshedemon » Thu Mar 07, 2013 2:30 am

It's the only color I've ever finished but I prefer the texture of the Silk Natural products so I'm hoping to find a dupe. Any ideas?
Thanks

It looks like Flash is supposed to be a dupe?
I've never used the BE or the SN versions...but I think the listing for Flash says it is a dupe.
Hope that helps! :)

Flash is a pretty good dupe. I've never had them both at the same time for a side by side comparison but I wasn't disappointed.

I have both flash and nude beach. (We wont get into why that happened :lol: ) Flash is slightly warmer and more golden, nude beach is a bit cooler and looks like it has a bit of pink to it. They are both lovely. I would say flash is a pretty good dupe, I like having both though.

I'm *very* fair. So white, I've only met 1 person who's been lighter than me. Because of my color or lack thereof, I don't use warm colors. How warm is it? Think I could mix some pink and some ivory to lighten it up? I love Nude Beach but prefer SN products (discovered BE before SN)
Thank you for your help!!!!

colleen, do you think you could swatch them side by side for us nosy buggers? i have flash and love it, but i never tried nude beach. i never considered flash warm though, so a comparison would be really helpful. thanks!!

I"ll have to look around for my camera and get it charged up. I wouldn't have thought flash was warm except when I put them side by side then it looked warm in comparison. I can't wear warm colors and flash looks nice on me. I would definitely give it a try. I think they are really close. I am not sure the difference would even show up well in a photo.
