So, I wear NC25 in studio fix, and I've always felt it's a little too golden on certain parts of my face (if it's not blended really well around my jawline/neck, it looks like I have an old bruise or something, haha!)

I became interested in mineral makeup and alima seemed like the best place to find a perfect match. I ordered a bunch of samples and I'm really thrilled with the finish and coverage.

I got samples of Neutral 1-3, Beige 1-3, Warm 1-2, and Olive 1. I decided I would try one on each side of my face each morning before my shower and whichever worked better I would wear for the day. Today I did the half and half with Neutral 1 and Warm 1, and I really can't tell the difference! They both certainly match better than my NC25. Even at my jawline it mixes in with my real skin color.

It's especially frustrating for me because I'm a painter and I'm usually really good at distinguishing colors. Any tips to figure out which shade I should buy a full size of?
