Boom vs Bare

[ega]

I would like to try Boom or Bare, but the swatches are confusing. Is Boom really lighter than Bare? And which one is warmer?

Edit to say the first one is right.....

You know, I think the labels are wrong on the second one. Bare is neutral.....Boom slightly peachy. So I guess Boom is warmer, but only by a bit.

You know, I think the labels are wrong on the first one. That one was taken over three years ago, and my method has gotten a little better since then. I better go take that one down on the site. Boom is neutral.....Bare slightly peachy. So I guess Bare is warmer, but only by a bit.

Thank you for the explanation, Jen. But I am still a bit unsure: Karen's descriptions on the site say that Bare is 'a little bit darker, less sheer, and more metallic than our Vanilla or Boom shades' and in the second picture Bare seems lighter than Boom. Which one is lighter then? Is this swatch wrong too?

Now you definitely have me second guessing..... It makes sense that the first is right as it matches the most recent. Bare is darker.....Boom lighter and leans slightly peachier.
Here is a recent pic I did for the new Fall Collection.


I did edit my previous post to make it less confusing. Again, I am sorry for the confusion. It is right unless I have done something dumb in the last few years like accidentally switch lids in the swatching process. If that had happened, the first would not likely match the most recent, though. It makes more sense that the second one was mislabeled so I removed it and edited it. I will go on the website and make sure it is not on there anywhere else.

No problem :) I think I will try Boom then. And thanks a bunch for the latest swatch, I have been wondering about Sonic and Inspire too, so this picture is very helpful!
