What Foundation Color Are You?

[SnowWhiteQueen]

NW15 Studio Tech
N3 Studio Fix powder
Shiseido I00

...and everything else is waaay to dark for me. It really makes me upset that both extra-pale people and extra-deep people have to search high and low for foundations. We need a makeup revolution!

I have had a problem of foundations turning pink on me. I don't know why.

Currently, I am using NW15 Studio Stick Foundation by M.A.C. I really like it, because it's super easy to apply. I prefer neutral based foundation.

I tend to get heavy with the e/s colors. I love e/s colors. They are so pretty to me. I try not to look like a peacock, because I am so fair.

I am an NC20.

If I use concealer I usually go to like NC15 or something.

c4 in studio fix foundation
nc42 (i was told) in creme concealer.
I just stopped using drugstore foundation (too dark and orange, even though nobody couldnt really tell). I don't even need bronzer (IMO) ..i'm already tan. I'd rather go with a blush

NC15 in Mineralize Foundation, and Concealer.

Although I still wish NC15 could be a little paler...

Glad to be back on this board

I totally feel...I dunno, dazed and confused with the foundation thing...I got color-matched recently and now I am NC 50 in Studio Fix powder. I need to go back and get more SFF b/c I <3 this one...Hmm, I wonder what shade I will end up with. Maybe NC44 or something. I feel like I have a brand new face. I see now that NW43 was too pink for me (among other issues with it

)

I'll have to do some FOTDs and see how I feel about them with this new color.

I've always had trouble determining whether my skin tone leans toward warm or cool because it seems like I can pass and fail all the tests:

My veins are neither green nor blue; they're purple!
I can wear either gold [warm tones] or silver jewelry [cool tones]
My hair is medium chestnut brown [warm or cool]
My eyes are brown with grey around the iris [warm or cool]
I can wear greys, whites, blacks and jewel tones [cool]
I can also wear earthtones and rich autumn neutrals [warm]

Do you see my confusion?

MAC mineralize satin finish - NW25, but still too yellow for me. Good thing I don't wear MAC foundation!
NCN liquid mineral foundation - light/med. with pink undertones - nearly a perfect match, but coverage is sheer enough that it doesn't have to be.

I mix up 3 different powders from Everyday Minerals to come up with a perfect shade for me - 2 parts med. beige, one part light winged butter and one part fairly light. I add a little more med. beige during the summer.

I think I must be a neutral but have never had anyone tell me and I really don't trust a MAC MA to tell me since she got it so wrong the last time I tried.
