EX1 Invisiwear liquid foundation - new shades

When it comes to foundation, I'm fickle to a fault. I rarely stay loyal to one particular foundation, and am regularly in multiple relationships with various different brands at a time.

I feel when it comes to foundation, I've conducted extensive research over the years. There are very few drugstore foundations I haven't tried and I've tried way more premium foundation brands than my bank balance would have liked (by premium I mean Dior, Estee Lauder, Benefit).

And yet I wouldn't really say I've found my holy grail foundation.  I've been disappointed by a lot of hyped up foundations and I'm always on the hunt for a new product - nothing has kept me loyal.

So when I find a foundation I like, it's quite a big deal, and I'd definitely put the EX1 Invisiwear Foundation up there in my top 5.

I feel it's an "easy" foundation.  It goes on easily, it stays well, it has a decent coverage and it gives a nice finish. It just does what you want a good foundation to do.  No fuss. No fancy claims. And most importantly, no eye watering price tag. 
Has it changed my life?  No.  Do I wear it pretty much most days?  Absolutely.

I'm not going to barrel off into one of my lengthy reviews but the reason for this impromptu post is that this wonderful foundation have brought out NEW SHADES. Finally!

This range has always been aimed at olive toned and darker skin tones and my only sticking point had always been the shade range. I bought F200, and whilst it has a beautiful olive tone...it's way too dark. I lighten it with The Body Shop's lightening drops but it's not ideal. So when I saw they had brought out new shades...well just hallelujah really.

But there were no flipping swatches anywhere of the new shades! So I bought two shades and decided to bung a quick (rushed) post up for other people hunting for swatches.

I bought shade 2.0 and shade 5.0 and have swatched them below against my original F200. For reference I am NC25 in Mac, 52 in Bourjois, Y245 in Makeup Forever and Ceylan in Nars Sheer Glow so I've also swatched these for reference.

The EX1 web site has a shade guide but hopefully the below will provide some visual context.

For reference, this foundation is all about the yellow tones (look how gloriously yellow the 5.0 shade is!!). So if you ain't into yellow, this maybe isn't the foundation range for you.
