| Above: 12 shades of Marc Jacobs Re(Marc)Able Full Coverage Foundation Concentrate. |
Happy September, lovelies! Last month, I reviewed the Marc Jacobs Re(Marc)Able Full Coverage Foundation Concentrate (HERE) and demonstrated application of the formula HERE. After receiving a host of requests for additional shade swatches, I am happy to report that I have a total of 12 different shades (there are 22 in all) in the fair-light through medium-dark range!
Kindly scroll on for more details, swatches of 12 shades and a beauty look featuring the foundation (and some new discoveries!) as well as the Bottom Line…
 |
| Above: The lineup. |
As aforementioned, my comprehensive review of the foundation can be found HERE, but in sum, the Marc Jacobs Re(Marc)Able Full Coverage Foundation Concentrate:
- Is medium, buildable to full coverage in a few drops
- As the name implies, is highly concentrated…a little (4 or 5 drops) goes a very long way
- Blurs pores and instantly covers imperfections; this formula has a natural matte, skin-like finish that still feels light on the skin, even though its highly pigmented
- Possesses marvelous lasting power (6-7 hours, even in heat and humidity, before I need to touch up)
- Is unscented and friendly to sensitive skin
- Can be mixed with lighter formulas (e.g., BB creams, tinted moisturizers and moisturizers in general) to increase coverage
- All in all, is an excellent option for those seeking natural and lasting full coverage!

On to the swatches:

To create the beauty look below, I employed the use of the following products:
- Marc Jacobs Re(Marc)Able Foundation in 36 Beige Golden (applied with a damp Beauty Blender)
- By Terry Terrybly Densiliss Compact Contouring 200 Beige Contrast, applied to cheeks for contour and highlighting. I am so over the moon for this latest release from By Terry. The exquisite contouring powder is a medium brown with no shimmer (compare with Burberry Earthy, reviewed HERE) and the highlighting powder delivers radiance without being shimmery…a true feat! A closeup of all of the powders in this marvelous range coming up soon!
- La Prairie Cellular Radiance Cream Blush in Plum Glow (reviewed HERE)…tapped on the apples of my cheeks for a subtle flush, I am loving this mauve shade for fall.
- Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Compact in #4 (included HERE) in the T zone.
- Gucci Magnetic Eyeshadow Duo in Aristocratic (reviewed HERE)…both shades blended on upper lids and lower lash line.
- Guerlain Maxilash So Volume Mascara (reviewed HERE)
- Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lip Color in Birkin Brown (pictured and swatched below)…this deep brown mahogany shade is definitely darker than I generally wear, but I love the rich hue and velvety finish. Perfectly wearable for fall! I have other shades in this formula and cannot wait to share swatches and looks in the very near future.

Lovely post. I've been using the new Marc Jacobs foundation since it's debut. I absolutely adore it. As you said, it really does hold up to the humidity. I will repurchase. Now I'm curious about the byTerry contour powder. Especially as I don't always want shimmer.
I must add that you look beautiful.
Thank you so much, Jan!
I am thrilled to hear that you are loving the new MJ foundation and hope that you've been able to take a peek at my By Terry powders post now ; ) There are a few good shimmer-free options!

I adore Birkin Brown on you along with Plum Glow. Great combination.
Thank you, thank you, my friend!

Yes finally! Thank you for so much for the swatches! I got samples of Golden Beige and Golden Medium. As showed in your swatches, they are indeed similar shades, along with Beige Medium I think. I always find Marc Jacobs shades confusing but this is definitely a good formula. I'll play with my samples to decide a shade, (or two? :P).
The Charlotte Tilbury Birkin Brown looks so good on you!! I'm looking forward to your reviews on more shades. Hope you are having an amazing start for new semester, Professor!
Hi Gloria!
So glad you are enjoying the swatches and I hope you've been able to determine your perfect match now!
More Charlotte Tilbury matte shades in the mix…thanks for your kind words about Birkin Brown ; )
My semester is crazy busy but good so far…hope your September will be lovely…XO,

I purchased the Marc Jacobs foundation, but I did not like it. I was very disappointed even though the lightest shade was spot on. It could be that I should have also purchased the primer, because the foundation sank into my pores, and it also seemed very drying even though I prepped with moisturizer. My skin is very dry though, and foundations that work for many people, often look terrible on me.
Hi Anon…thanks for weighing in on this. This foundation is great but I can see it being tricky with drier skin…thank goodness we have such an amazing array of foundations available to suit each need. Have you tried the Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation? It's incredible for drier skin!

How does this Marc Jacobs foundation compare to the Sensai Cream foundation ?
Hi Anon,
It is more liquid than the Sensai and offers more intial coverage (full vs. medium). I would also deem it slightly more matte in finish!
Hope that helps…xx,

Hello BP! Thanks for the swatches. May I as which shade do you recommend if I wear the Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer in sx06. I need very, very yellow undertones, that's why s SSE is my perfect shade. Thank you very much!
Hello Karla,
My pleasure! I would recommend #29 Bisque Golden!
Hope that helps…xx,

MJ definitely didn't include darker colors in this new foundation line. Sure there are lighter complexions in each ethnic group but he totally omitted (Blacks/Asians/Mid Eastern/Hispanic) women of darker complexions.
Hi Lily,
Actually, he did! I was only sent 12 shades but there are 22 in all and he has suitable shades on both ends of the spectrum, including a couple of gorgeous rich browns called Cocoa Medium and Cocoa Deep! Take a peek on the Sephora or Marc Jacobs site to see what I mean!

Marcela Rocco.
Thank you so much for putting in the matching MAC color codes NC15, etc… I haven't used MAC foundation in ages, but it's still the easiest way for me to figure out what shade I am in other foundations!!! Looking forward to trying this. You have helped me decide to try the #26.
