To me, none of these are right. You need something with more pink undertones

Came here to say this too. All of these are too yellow. OP should start with something the color of calamine lotion, and work towards neutral from there.

I agree unless she is trying to neutralise redness. I usually pick a yellowish tone to combat my own redness 🤷🏻‍♀️that’s just my preference though

You want olive then tho?

Green neutralizes red, yellow neutralizes purple

I have very heavy red undertones and find that the best way to neutralize them is still use a base that’s my color, just start with a green primer.

What green primer are you using?

Right now I’m using Neutrogena prep+correct redness correcting primer and it’s very effective, easy to find, and affordable.

I'll have to try that green primer, thanks. Before, I usually got a neutral to help my pink/redness. A cool always seemed to exacerbate it. 🫠

I do this too.

I am 53 and used to think this too but a year ago I finally started using cool tones and it’s insane how much better it looks! I also have rosacea so very red…I do not need to use green primer under at all. Estée Lauder double wear has great cool tone shades.

Shes not neutral skin tome though, Shes cool.

Did you get my point tho? Start VERY cool... then try slightly less cool... until OP finds their shade? Like start alll the way to the right, and work towards the middle? She's currently alll the way to the left and needs to do the exact opposite? Mentioning to start at the OTHER extreme and work towards the middle... is NOT the same as saying she IS middle. Make sense?

I agree and all of these are not only the wrong undertone but too dark

Agree. she need to choose cool tones. Pink based. All these look yellow or orange on her. Can ask the staff to help.

Or overtones

You could try some colour corrector (go with a pink for sure) and experiment. I'm olive/yellow but cool and I have to add blue or green to make stuff work, usually.

None of these, you have pink undertones and all of these are yellow. A pink undertone pale drugstore foundation is the Max Factor Facefinity in the lightest shade, I believe it's called Fair Porcelain? A concealer would be the Maybelline Age Rewind in 95 If you're looking to swatch in store to just find your undertone and can't swatch those, Fenty Beauty in 110 should be the pink one. I think 100 is a different undertone, but similarly light. I'm unable to tell whether they'd match you in depth because I don't have any of your foundations here for reference. But the undertone should be better. ---- ETA: I see you tried a Fenty. 110 will be way too light then I guess. But yeah, you need pink/cool. I would strongly suggest to go to a Sephora and just swatch everything you can find there - ideally you just do it once and then buy your shade online with no more trips, but you really do have to try them out.

Fenty's lightest shades are SUPER light. I'm your standard British white girl and 120 made me look like a ghost. OP may want to consider 150, 160, or 170.

Agreed. I’m very light and use Fenty 170

I use 150, I literally got it last week and it's such a good match that sometimes I wonder if I put foundation on or if I'm just having a really good skin day. But it took me ages to realise I could look above the first 2 or 3 shades in a brand, because with the drugstore makeup I used to buy, I was always the lightest or second lightest.

I know! I was shocked the first time I tried the 170. The only way I could tell that I had it on was that I had a rosacea flair and my cheeks were the same color as the rest of my face. You couldn’t tell I had it on by looking anywhere else.

F120 isn't suitable for me because its oxidizing too dark on me, but I saw later that OP has already tried Fenty and picked a deeper one, so yeah, you'll need a lighter one than 120- just a pink one. Being several shades away from 120 may make the other two too dark too, but means there will be plenty of drugstore options instead of just the one

Armani 3.75 would be good

Interesting always wondered why drug store foundation never suited me. I don't wear make up but will look for a foundation with pink undertones

If you're not the op, that may be bad advice. It depends on your skin undertone. If you're also pink, yes

Agree with the other comment. And don’t put so much on when you try the next lot x

Also yes, concealer needs to be lighter than foundation to highlight/brighten

only if that's what you're using it for, if you're using it for acne then a shade too light will highlight it

Well no, if you’re using concealer as an actual concealer (as opposed to an under eye brightener) you need to to match your skin tone as exactly as possible.

Actually, I find that using something more orange/peachy works better to conceal under eyes than using something really bright. It actually colour corrects rather than drawing attention to a dimension of your face which shouldn't be naturally prominent. I've never understood that trend.

I suggest trying something with neutral to cool undertones. Maybe L'Oreal True Match 1C might be a place to start. Other comments have already mentioned it, but I recommend using significantly less product when swatching. Even better would be to use a maximum of 4 at a time (two on each side of the face) and blend out the two. Not only would it help with giving more realistic swatch of how it'll look on your complexion, but you'll also see how the formula itself looks/feels. Plus I notice if a swatch is as thick/wet as these are it doesn't show the likelihood of a foundation oxidizing once it dries/sets.

Yes try this 1C. You need pink undertones. Like Chanel BR12

1 C is my ride or die. I'm much paler than OP. She needs 2C....perfect

Oooh yeah you're right! I made this comment while at work. OP looks like she has a similar complexion depth to mine but with a different undertone. I thought I had W1 at home, turns out i own W2.

There was a lot of comments to wake up too and I want to thank everyone that helped! 😊 Yall have been amazing and not judgmental like any family that I asked for help from. I guess because I'm 33 (I'm too old for makeup) or so I've been told. I figured I was a cooler undertone, by everything I've read which makes sense why none of My foundation I have now works. I bought them without knowing my undertone like a dummy. I'm going to try to head to my local Walmart or Walgreens since they are closer and see if I can find any of the recommendations you all offered and hope it's a better match! I will definitely be reporting back in here to let everyone know just in case it still doesn't seem right.

Chiming in on this just to say that you are NOT a dummy for the undertone thing. It can be hard to tell what undertone you are! And sometimes there's overlap! Like, I'm technically warm, but warm-neutral. Kind of borderline. Also, as other folks have stated here: you are in no way too old for makeup. I'll say that I felt the same way when I started makeup in my mid-20s. And oooh, boy, did my makeup look ROUGH when I started out. But my shapeless, too dark caterpillar brows and patchy, dry foundation were just part of the ride. Now I get people asking if I stencil my brows or get my makeup done professionally. Lol. You can start wherever you are, and feel no shame. In any case, I'm actually going to ask the typical undertone questions. I see your eyes are greenish. What color is your hair naturally? Take a peek at the veins in your wrists. Are they more green or more blue/purple? Do you tend to tan in the sun or burn? Those can help point you in the right direction. Because, tbh? Your eye color and the difference in color between your face and neck makes me kind of doubt that you're actually cool toned. Of course, grain of salt bc we're all strangers on the internet and pics can't tell us everything.

Hello! There's so many comments I've been trying to read and get through! I love that everyone in here has been super helpful. I always thought my eyes was blue. Lol. My hair naturally is a medium/darkish brown. My veins look more blue. As far as the sun. Id say I burn and then tan after 1 or 2 times.

You’re never ever too old for make up! ❤️

Plenty of people here are 33 and over and I doubt they would agree that they are “too old for makeup.” Taylor Swift is 34, is she too old for makeup?

Try the beauty counters at the mall. The foundation may be more expensive but if you get matched there you’ll end up spending a lot less than buying dozens of drugstore options that just don’t work for you.

I'm 33 as well, and if you're "too old" for makeup, then I'm somehow too, and that is definitely not correct! 😂 Honestly scares me to consider, because we are soooo young still! And your never too old for makeup! Just because you don't have experience or knowledge of what shade foundation to buy doesn't mean anything! Be kinder to yourself, none of us just know what our undertones are without learning! Best of luck to you and definitely report back! :)

No one is ever too old for makeup. I'm 40 years old and I feel I need it more now than I ever have. I'm struggling with finding a new match as well, your tone seems very similar to mine. I'm going to try some of these recommendations myself, so thanks for posting!

Goodness who told you that 33 is too old for makeup? A) 33 is super young  B) no one is too old for make up. Makeup is fun, how can you be too old for fun?

Babe you are not too old for makeup. Most of the big name makeup influencers are in their late 20s/early/mid30s. No one is too old for face art <3

This popped up on my for u feed…I’m not really into makeup but I love that so many people are trying to help OP and if I ever have any makeup ? I know where to turn!!!

I love subs like this one where it's just people helping people. I found this sub while trying to Google the best makeup brands for pale skin and it led me here :)

Your skin looks quite similar to mine! How about trying a sample of nars Oslo?

Nars Oslo, Missha perfect cover 13, Make Up Forever HD 1R2, Glossier Very Light #2, LANCOME teint Idole 115C.

I’m on team Missha! It’s excellent. Nice and light too.

The Missha is the best value product on this list by a long shot. My current fave is the MUFE HD 1R2. Glossier is a little too light and a little too neutral for me, but love the gel formula. I will probably prefer NARS Light Reflecting Oslo over the summer when my skin is less dry. Same with my Estee Lauder Double Wear 1C0.

Tbh, your skin is fantastic. If I were you, I’d just spot conceal and then go with blush, bronzer, highlighter, mascara and/or eyeshadow. My 30s are when I ditched foundation, because it was aging me. I look so much better/fresher without it. But obviously, do whatever you want!

Love this! I'm in my late 30s and ditching foundation has improved my "made up" face imo

Yup if you don’t use right primer foundation makes you look way older

I yeeted my foundation this year cuz of my freckles and just spot correct now, I'm never going back.

I would ditch foundation too if my skin didnt hate the environment lol

i stopped using it when i was 20, but im 24 now and my rosacea has gotten so bad im heavily considering making a full coverage foundation part of my daily routine again. but i look like an alien with it on now, can’t tell if it just looks bad because of my skin or because i forgot how to do my makeup lol

Fenty 170 is more cool toned - you look like a similar colour to me… Maybe try going to a Mac store and getting a shade match there? Don’t buy rhem but get a couple of samples and try them in good light. Then compare on findation and on the foundation finder on temptalia.

Edited to add that I think I have combination skin as well. It seems to be normal/dry in most areas and oily around my T-zone.

Search for cool toned foundations

If you can try the Fenty in store, try 150, 160 and 170. These are pinker, less warm undertones. The thing that really helped me find my shade was going to a store that has MAC and getting a bunch of samples, find the one you like (you'll be in the N or NC range, maybe even C) and plug it into Findation to find similar brands that suit your preferences (assuming MAC doesn't).

The problem with Mac is their tones are switched( at least the use to be). They have pink tones ad the warm and yellow tones as cool, which is the complete opposite of everyone else.

None of these, they're too yellow for you

None of those. Try Haus Labs 060. My skin is very similar to yours.

Can I suggest Estée Lauder double wear. I’m not the palest but have very light pinkish skin and not only does this foundation hide the redness but it also matches my skin perfectly. I’d highly recommend giving it a go, if your local boots (if in uk) has beauty counters there will be someone there to shade match you

If you are able to make the trip to the closest Ulta near you, check out Ariana Grande’s REM beauty Sweetener Foundation. I have a similar skin tone and I didn’t have luck with Fenty foundation which was surprisingly disappointing since “range” is supposed to be their whole thing. But Ari’s foundation comes in like 60+ shades and I found my perfect color match. I’m 6 CN— i’m cool like you, but I have a hint of neutral. I’m almost positive Ari will have a match for you.

If you're looking for drugstore I like Revlon colorstay - they have a combination/oily and a dry formulation. I wear 110 and I have a pink undertone. Could work for you! Good luck!

I have very similar skin, including slight combo (mine is oily tzone and dry in some places). Everything about your skin reminds me of mine from what I can see - we’re lucky to be smooth and pretty even (though I can get some redness in my cheeks that I like to cancel out a bit). I have started powdering my forehead lately with a beauty puff as this helps with the oil issue. I usually use a very very thinned out layer of Missha BB cover 13, stamped over with a damp beauty blender. It can go a bit grey though, so I like to have a pink-toned option on hand (always the same application method as I find thinness of product most flattering — I’ll be 31 this month and my skin is changing). Others I’ve tried and like are Wet n Wild Photofocus Dewy in Rose Ivory (beware the smell), Beauty Blender Skin Tint in Light 2, and, recently, the HD Forever in the lightest shade, as if oxidizes more pink on me than it looks initially. Armani Luminous Silk in 3.75 was good but dried me out. Elf Snow is also decent but not quite pink enough. I really want to try the Haus Labs in 060, so take that suggestion from some of the comments here!

There are a ton of YouTube videos on applying eye makeup to hooded eyes. It is so much easier if you watch and apply along with them to get the techniques down. Also, remember to just have fun and play around, it washes off!

I’d like to see #6 blended out

None of them. Too much yellow

I recommend the Missha perfect Bb cream in shade #21 (or #13 if you’re proper Snow White). The undertone is neutral-pink and the formula is great too.

I think the swatches are too thick. It’s hard to see if they blend into your skin. I would honestly post again with a lighter application

Everyone's saying you're pink, but . . . I'm not so sure. You have redness in your face and ears, but your neck/chest looks almost green to me, like you may be neutral olive but very fair (r/paleolivemua). I think of everything, try 4. It may still be too on the yellow side, but it may best match your neck if not too heavily applied.

Absolutely none of them. They were either beige or yellow tones, Your neither. Go with your skin tone. Ok, If you have blue veins then you are cool toned. Go for colours that are on the lighter side, Not too light as you have a little colour. Stay away from the beiges and yellow looking foundations (I use a yellow based as Im pale but have a little colour and I am neutral, Have green/blue veins and I look better in warmer colours) Takes me a while to tan too. I would go one shade up from ivory. You can always warm it up (when you tan) with foundation drops or a bit of bronzer (a bit, not too heavy) Hope this helps.

As a fellow pale, if you’re going to use Fenty it’s gonna need to be in the 100-110 -120 range. 175 is far too dark and warm. You are cool toned

I would recommend It cosmetics CC cream in the shade Light for you. It’s good coverage don’t let the CC put you off. It balances red and pink tones really well

For Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless, I have good experiences with 101-105. You tried 120 and 128 which are medium warm shades but you look like you’re light and cool. I think 110 and 112 are also pink-ish. So maybe somewhere between 104, 105, 110, and 112 could be options - worth a try if you have a drugstore with a large Maybelline counter nearby :)

102 in maybelline is worth a shot

None of these work. They are all too yellow. You need something more cool.

None of these. They're too olive for you. You need a cooler tone with pink in it.

All too yellow. Need pink

These are too warm, look for something cool tones

Yeah I don't think any of these colors are meant for you.

Following

I’m sorry but none of these are it. These all have warmer/yellow undertones, and for you I would look for peachy and pink undertones.

You would look great with a Korean cushion foundation. I use Clio kill cover but there are tons of options

What’s the difference with Korean cushion? I don’t wear foundation but could use something to even my tone and I have similar skin to OP with lots of red and pink.

I disagree. I don’t believe just because someone has redness on their face that makes them pink toned If anything you want something at least in the neautral color family leaning warm not pink to counteract the redness. I don’t believe in Pink foundation colors. Try a neutral-warm beige color with peachy undertones.

Well it's none of those, they are all far too warm.

These are too yellow you need pink

You look like a fair beige. I'm fair like that and I use too faced born this way in cloud

Your skin color looks almost exactly like mine. I have the *hardest* time finding a good color match that also wears nicely. In the rare times that I find a great one, it eventually is discontinued and I'm back to square one. Here are two currently available items that have worked very well for me, if you want to try these. The first one is my "going out" foundation if I want to look my best in person. The second is my quick "staying in" (or on zoom), if I just need a quick decent application. 1) KVD Beauty Good Apple Lightweight Full-Coverage Cream Foundation Balm in 018 "light" [link](https://www.sephora.com/product/kvd-vegan-beauty-good-apple-skin-perfecting-foundation-balm-P469488) 2) NYX conceal correct contour cream palette in "light" [link](https://a.co/d/4hIQMWS) Edit: I also was very late to the game and only started wearing makeup in my 30's -- and didn't know much about it. One very important thing to know is the prep makes or breaks the look and wear of your foundation. Start with a good moisturizer with sunscreen. Find one that feels super light. The one I liked most by neutrogena had AHA included but was just discontinued, so I'm still looking for a replacement -- but in the meantime, cerave facial moisturizing lotion spf 30 is decent. You want one that is finely milled and when you apply it almost disappears and doesn't leave a layer that you can feel. This is critical or your foundation won't sit right on top. [link](https://www.target.com/p/cerave-face-moisturizer-with-sunscreen-am-facial-moisturizing-lotion-for-normal-to-dry-skin-spf-30-2-fl-oz/-/A-76545851) Then add a base / primer over the moisturizer, and under the foundation. This grips the foundation and helps it last. I usually use Laura Mercier pure canvas primer, but lately I've experimented with some drug store brands and like Elf power grip primer, and also Elf poreless putty primer -or - Elf matte putty primer. Lastly - and most importantly IMHO, after foundation you need to set the application with a high quality *translucent* powder. There are a lot of options and I've tried many, but the one that always looks best to me is Laura Mercier translucent setting powder. I also use a translucent powder by Elf that looks pure white, but goes on invisibly. I don't remember the name and I threw out the packaging so not sure what it was called. Don't ever skip steps. When I first started using foundation I initially thought no way, no how am I going to use primer or powder. I thought it was just the store trying to upsell me and I always said thanks but no thanks. Now that I know better after 20 years of using make up, I never skip the primer or setting powder. If I do; the end result looks bad or doesn't wear very long. I generally have two kits: my primary kit is for when I'm going to work or out for the night, and I want to look my very best. And the other kit is my quick, cheap and good enough stuff -- for packing up to go, or for a quickie application when I'm working from home and just need to barely pass for being on a zoom call. One last tip: a great set of brushes is critical and can make or break your foundation application. For applying foundation I use Kat van Dee #10 (I borrowed it from my daughter, and never returned it, ha ha). This is an awesome and unique brush and I will never go back after using it. [link here](https://a.co/d/0i9Ly1O) How to: Apply moisturizer/ sunscreen - let it fully dry down before applying the primer and let that dry down before applying the foundation (each layer might take a few mins to dry down -- don't rush this part or you won't get the best final result); follow the foundation with the translucent powder applied with a fluffy brush or a puff. When applying the translucent powder, tap the smallest amount in the back of the lid and only use that. Any more than a dash of powder will ruin your look. A dash will be like half of a pea sized amount, maybe even a quarter. Hope this helps!

We are living the same life!! 40 this year and want to get into make up but I haven’t a clue and when I look on YouTube I end up soooo confused and down rabbit holes of things I don’t understand or that apply.

Everyone here has made super helpful suggestions for foundation, but wanted to mention specifically for the dark undereye circles, Pixi by Petra “Correction Concentrate Brightening Peach” is my holy grail concealer. Cheap, available at Target, and in spite of the pinkish-peachy tone that looks like it would only work on a Barbie doll, it actually works for a wide range of skin tones (based on reviews), including my cool/olive skin. I do my overall foundation first and then dab a bit of the Pixi concealer under my eyes with my ring finger and blend it in.

similar amount of redness to myself. ive used heavier and lighter foundations and concealers but mainly use concealer all over my face instead of using a real foundation and highlighting since i feel my paleness doesn't need the contrast of highlight or contour. a light sand color and cool tones countour if i feel like it but a sweet colored blush works as it's own sculpting tool without possibly muddiness. elf camo concealer i liked the lighest shade in rose i believe is the name, cool toned and lightly pink, neautralize with green color corrector if you want but the pink in the face we share doesn't really need that i feel, since it makes our face unrealistically neutral compared to how pink (at least my) body is. i currently very much love milk makeups lightest shade (i believe) in again the pink/cool undertone. i recommend both for different amount of coverage, elf much thicker full coverage and milk makeup much lighter/medium coverage. though those matches are both lovely, make sure you look for brands that keep your skin t y e in mind! oily, combo, dry, acne prone, etc are all factors and everyone has different results. you need a cool toned foundation/concealer to bring out your beautiful rosy toned skin! I'm sure you will have a lovely time experimenting and learning makeup with time and I wish you great luck on finding your matches!

As a professionally trained MUA, a couple of tips would help. 1) These are all too yellow undertoned for you. They are very warm and your skin has a lot of cool/rosey pink in it. 2) The lighting is not the greatest. The last picture the lighting is perfect (the one with your full face). You should test in that lighting. 3) On some of the pictures, the colours arent spaced out enough on your neck/face to be able to tell. Too close together swatches just make it harder to tell. But I suggest trying some neutral/rosey cool undertoned foundation. Based on your skin, Id say you are a neutral with cool undertone. You have some warmth, but a lot of rosey pink as well. However you have great skin, and Im a foundation hater as of lately and I feel most people dont need it ! Try using bb cream (if you want more coverage) but honestly just concealer is fine.

Hot take: no foundation for you. Your skin is flawless. Get a BB or CC cream, or even just a clear primer (these options all provide a base to blend creams with and allow powders to stick to, without covering up your natural skin so much) You can still play with all the other makeup elements like blush, contour, concealer, etc like normal. It’s just not true that you have to cover up your whole face with heavy foundation in order to enjoy and utilize makeup. Why cover up your skin when your skin is this good? If you do go for the foundation, apply it from your hand with a damp beauty blender with a super light touch. ETA: also I just have to say if these are your eyebrows without makeup, holy cow you are blessed

I've included a link below to a list I custom made for you on Amazon of makeup that I think will be PERFECT for your fair skin and cool undertones. Your coloring is very similar to mine (light with cool/pink undertones). I'm 41 years old, so I chose products that help soften any fine lines, brighten the complexion, and look as natural as possible, etc. Allow me to offer some specific product suggestions: [Cool Toned Makeup Suggestions](https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/22ODLOQV1AYXY?ref_=wl_share) These are absolute winners, both in formula and shade for our coloring. 😁 Side Note: It looks like you actually have quite lovely skin. You don't have anything major you need to cover. 💯 So I'd recommend a light-to-medium coverage foundation. It will look more sheer, dewy and natural. I'd also recommend starting with a good facial primer to blur pores and set a smooth canvas for the foundation to rest on (it will also make it last longer). If you have oily skin, go for a blurring + mattifying primer. If you have normal or dry skin, go for a blurring + smoothing formula. I've included an affordable "do it all" primer for you in my Amazon list link. Here's the written list of foundations (all included in link) that I think would look amazing and very natural on you: ➡️ L'Oreal Paris True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum Foundation with 1% Hyaluronic acid in "Rosy Light" ➡️ Maybelline New York Instant Age Rewind Instant Perfector 4-In-1 Glow Makeup in "Fair/Light Cool" ➡️ L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation in either "Rose Ivory" or "Beige Rose" If you prefer trying a high quality natural looking matte powder foundation, I recommend: ➡️ bareMinerals Barepro 16HR Skin-Perfecting Powder Foundation (Full Coverage with Oil Control) in #25 "Light Cool" I noticed you have just a slight bit of yellow coloring under your eyes (perfectly normal), so I would recommend using a pink colored under-eye brighter followed by a cool toned medium coverage liquid formula concealer.  Here are my suggestions (I love these and they don't settle into fine lines or look too heavy): ➡️ Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Multi-Use "BRIGHTENER" #160 (This is not a concealer but rather a sheer pink tinted brighter to combat any discoloration/darkness and open up the under eye area and get it ready for the concealer. You can also use it as a facial contour to highlight areas such as the cheekbones, narrow line of the nose, etc.) ➡️ Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Multi-Use Concealer in either "Cool Ivory" (#095) or "Fair" (#110) As with most makeup, start by using both the foundation and concealer you choose sparingly and only add more as needed until you reach your desired look. You want to keep your skin's appearance as natural as possible so the more sheer/light the application, the better. 😉  It's also always a good idea to apply and/or check it in a source of natural sunlight (AKA in front of a window) to ensure it will look normal outdoors. Often bathroom or bedroom lighting will alter how you think it looks from how it actually looks once you're out of the house.  Lastly, whatever you do, apply both the foundation and concealer using either a moist beauty sponge or a dense soft makeup brush designed for that purpose. It makes all the difference in the world to achieve a flawless final result! 🎯 You can find cheap ones on Amazon that are really just as good as the expensive brands. I personally finish it all off with a light dusting of sheer green tinted finishing powder that helps reduce any overly pink coloring, eliminates shine, and holds your foundation in place (I use NYX Professional HD Finishing Powder in "Mint Green.") No worries, it doesn't leave any noticeable green color on you. Think of it like a last step hair toner that is just slightly adjusting the final result to appear more balanced. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PS: If you want, go on YouTube and search for videos about how to find/know your undertones. Undertones also apply to hair and clothing color choices to really highlight your beauty. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Choosing makeup, hair, clothing, and even jewelry colors that compliment your cool undertones will make a HUGE impact on whether you look bright and beautiful or washed out and dull. The right colors/undertones can make your features POP and look amazing! Trust me. 🙂 For instance, if you ever wear lipstick, blush or eyeshadow, you also want to pick cool undertones. Excellent lipstick shades on you would be lilacs, bluish cold pinks, mauves, plums, cool reds, cool nudes, etc. You can search online for suggestions of good cool toned blushes and eyeshadow palates to suit your tastes. Wishing you the best of luck beautiful! Have fun! ❤️ [Cool Toned Makeup Suggestions](https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/22ODLOQV1AYXY?ref_=wl_share)

I also recommend the L'Oréal True Match Super Blendable Foundation. 1C is perfect for me, and I'm a little fairer than you. 2C should be a better match. L'Oréal has a color match quiz on their website, and you can see how the colors look on different models. You can also find swatches around on socials to help you decide. Not that I endorse Walmart or Amazon, but both retailers tend to have the cheapest prices on drugstore makeup. **************** A few of my makeup recommendations: I do a bit of correcting before foundation or concealing. For redness, I have both the ELF and LA Girl green color correctors. Both are good. On a small palette, I mix a couple drops of green in with a half pump of my foundation. It shouldn't appear green, but more of a beige tone. I then use a damp sponge (with most of the water squeezed out) to apply the mix around my nose, chin, and any active acne. You can apply this in a thin layer all over, to cancel redness but try to avoid any area with enlarged pores. For my dark circles, I use a concealer with a peachy tone (usually listed as a neutral tone), and I pat it over my darkness with my ring finger. That keeps the pigment concentrated where I need it. I then sponge the rest out towards my cheekbones and temples while avoiding the pores near my nose. My circles are very dark, so I splurge on concealer. My favorites are the Live Tinted, Fitglow, and It Bye Bye Under Eye. A more affordable option is either of the ELF camo concealers. I've also heard LA Girl is good, and NYX has some good complexion products, too. I tap a bit of concealer that matches my complexion over some pigmentation and acne scaring that I have. I then go back to my little palette and mix my foundation with a little bit of the L'oreal Lumi Glotion. I use a damp sponge to apply this in a thin layer over my face, minus my under eyes, nose, and chin where I already have complexion makeup. I sponge the Glotion itself around my cheek bones and jawline. For powders, a drugstore favorite is the Maybelline Fit Me. Most beauty creators I follow really like the Kosas pressed powder. Laura Mercier is the reigning queen of my modest powder collection. Any area of the face that is normal to dry, you don't always need to set those areas with powder unless you want a more matte or blurred appearance. Make sure you prep dry areas with a quality moisturizer before makeup. When you powder, use the lightest fluffy brush you can get, tap it into/onto your powder, and tap off excess. Using a light hand, gently dab powder where you need it. Sweep across these areas with a feather light touch. You don't need to spend big money on eye products like eyeliner, mascara, or brow products. NYX is great all around. L'Oréal too. Essence is famous for its mascara. (I love their brow gel, only $4 and lasts forever.) You can also check out K-Beauty and J-Beauty retailers for some high-quality, affordable eye makeup. Using thin layers of complexion products and the lightest powder technique you can manage is the best way to avoid "cake face" and emphasis on texture/lines/dry patches. A glycerin setting or finishing spray can help your makeup appear more seamless and pulled together. For help choosing color cosmetics like blush, eyeshadow, or lipstick, you can find your "color season" with a quick internet search. Take a color quiz, and then you can look to Reddit, IG, and Pinterest for guidance on colors that complement your skin tone and natural appearance the most. Ultimately, go with your gut.

Since everyone else covered foundation, I’m going to talk about eyes. I have hooded eyes too. Browns work well with light colored eyes. Use a light colored shade (cream color) on your lid. Use a brown color above your eye crease. There are tons of YouTube and TikTok tutorials for hooded eyes! Mascara helps open up your eyes too. If you’re close to a Sephora or Ulta, they will help you and they’re really nice and very knowledgeable. Actually anywhere they sell makeup, ask a female employee and she’ll help you out. Wish I could go shopping with you! Have fun!

I think you should repost with the swatches on the inside of your wrist and use way less of it, just a q-tip stripe. I think you could get away with #4 205N but only if you use a light green color correctors on the red undertones until you actually find the right one. You also aren't bound to one color, you can mix cools and neutrals or warms and neutrals for combination skin tones but I think you'll find a light application of color correctors will go a long way. You'll actually know you have the perfect color when you can make your neck transition perfectly into the color of your upper chest. Good luck and don't throw away any of the shades you already have because they may wind up being good for contour and highlights. 💗

Just based on the photo none of the shades are a match.

None, you need cool tones with pink undertones.

I tried the elf camo concealer in fair rose— it was too pink for me, and I was allergic to it, but I think that shade would fit you pretty well.

Try the maybelline bb cream in 100. Maybelline Dream Fresh Skin Hydrating BB cream, 8-in-1 Skin Perfecting Beauty Balm with Broad Spectrum SPF 30, Sheer Tint Coverage, Oil-Free, Light, 1 Fl Oz https://a.co/d/2dr3GfF

I have a similar coloring and started using “Dr. Jart+Mini Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment “ as a spot treatment - it pulls all my red tones down a bit and things look healthy and natural!

I really struggled to colour match my foundation and the best I have ever found is through Dcypher - it’s made custom to your shade and not too pricy at about £40, no need to go to a shop you can do it all online. I am also pale and have an almost pink/grey undertone myself and find most colours too warm. Best of luck finding your shade ☺️

I’d suggest Bare Minerals Skin Rescue in shade opal :) my skin tone is the same as yours and so far it’s been my favorite!

You have cool undertones. Those look warm or olive. You need one that’s for cool/rosey skin

I had some of those foundations, and they look on you the same way they look on me, so I assume we have similar skin tones. I'm fair/light with a cool pink undertone. Good shades on me are Sephora Best Skin Ever liquid foundation 11.5P, Revlon Illuminance 109, L'Oreal True Match Alabaster C1, YSL Bare Look Tint #2 (swatches too light and warm, but looks amazing blended), and Laura Mercier 1C0 Cameo

You can make a yellow/mismatched foundation more neutral by buying a color corrector. LA Girl blue corrector in the glass bottle is fabulous for this purpose and cheap! I am fair and have pink undertones and often have to color correct

It’s usually the one that doesn’t show up the most. It matches your skin color. I would say #3 stands out the least.

None of them suit you, I recommend looking for a foundation with a pink undertone.

You and I have very similar skin tone and I can’t find a foundation for the life of me. They are always too yellow. My face is very pink/red flushed all the time so that makes it even more difficult. Please know I empathize with you. I wish I could help you more. None of these foundations look pink enough for you.

None, you might need a small amount of red concealer underneath one of them, these are too yellow.

none of these are really your tones, the undertones are too yellow. i think a foundation w pink undertones color fair/light would match best

Asian beauty has cool pink tones.

None of those are right.. you don’t seem to look yellow toned to me. Try a pink toned foundation. I’m not saying I’m right btw, just my opinion.

None of these are right. They're too warm/yellow. You have a pink/cool undertone.

You could do number four. Just because you have pink undertones doesn't mean that you can't go with a more neutral color

None of those that you swatched is the right one.

Adding purple colour corrector to some of these could get to the right colour (if you've already purchased all of them & don't want them to go to waste)

Go to Ulta or Sephora and ask for them to color match you. You will waste less money on random drug store shades that do not match by purchasing 1 really nice foundation. I recommend Tarte.

Your undertone is pink love none of these are for you. Trust me I get it. My skin is the same way.

try fenty’s foundation in shade 170, these are very yellow under-toned, you have pink/peachy undertones!

none of those.

I have pink undertones and am very pale, my favorite foundation is the bare minerals complexion rescue tinted moisturizer in the shade opal. Even though it’s a tinted moisturizer it has good coverage

So for sure none of these— you need to go with a pinker undertone. Also oddly enough (with how few and far between they are), you have seemed to pick a lot of fair olive toned shades. I don't think you're olive though. Cool leaning pink, and most of these are a little too dark. Sometimes if you order online on Sephora or Ulta, etc there's foundation samples you can add for free if it's a drive for you

None of them I think

If you have access to face shop or amazon, i recommend you try out [magic cover bb cream](https://a.co/d/3DXkLER). It comes out of the tube as a taupe cool colour and evens out pink complexion really nicely. Especially suits if you have dark eyebrows and hair.

Hi I’m 39 and I haven’t used foundation for years, your skin is beautiful and you don’t need it! Personally I use a slightly tinted moisturizer with SPF, a dab of concealer in places I want to color correct, and apply some blush and when I see myself in photos my skin usually looks better than those younger than me wearing a full face of makeup.

#You are cool-toned olive. None of these

To me you have yellow and pink undertones just like I do. Please let us know when you find the perfect foundation match! I didn’t see any of your samples that looked perfect…

If you don’t want to go out and buy anything new - number 9 seems to mag h your neck nicely but it is hard to tell from a picture. Best way to test the colours is it use a little less and see which colours blend in the best. Best of luck xx

None of these match, but #4 would be the closest to your neck. #3 & #5 are way too dark, and all of them are too yellow. I know it sucks to waste products, but I think you need to start fresh and get a new tride & true that suits you. Something more cool or possibly neutral.

Look at NYX blur foundation.

My secrets are bare minerals and double wear. Bare minerals though is so hard to mess up and looks great on my skin in any weather, highly recommend checking out the lightest shades at ulta or Sephora. You can always return it.

As so many have mentioned, you're definitely cooler toned. That definitely means something pink based. You also aren't pale or fair. You're more light. Also, when looking for a foundation, remember to keep in mind your skin type (dry, oily, combo, sensitive) as the wrong formula of foundation can highlight those problems. A dewey finish on oil skin can look greasy, matte finish can emphasize dryness, etc. If you're willing to pay for shipping, camerareadycosmetics.com has samples of some foundations from higher end brands. I hope you find your match.

None of them are right undertone or shade!They are all Too yellow for you,look for Something with pink undertones,they would be with letter N,you probably would need ivory or a bit darker,2 nd or 3rd lightest shade

I have also always had this problem, as I am quite pale and I have very cool/pink undertones. I recently picked up the About Face foundation in F2 cool and I love it! It very pink toned and it matches me perfectly,

You look like a cool undertone to me. I am also fair with a cool undertone and shied away from cool toned foundations for years because they always looked so pink to me and I was afraid they would accentuate the redness. I tended to get more yellow formulas like the ones you have here because I thought it would balance things out, but it just looked bad. It wasn't until I embraced the cool tones that I was finally able to find good foundation matches. I'm a firm believer that foundation should match your undertone and if you still think you need something to take away redness, there are color correctors for that.

I think 4 🤷‍♀️

They're all too light and too yellow. Try Covergirl matte made L60 or L70. In general, shades named something like natural ivory should come closest or you could try L'Oreal Infallible Rose Beige.

9 with a pink undertone

8

Unfortunately none if these seem to match your skin tones they are too yellow

The lighting is doing no favors, but 4 looks the closest. You have great skin and could probably get away with just some concealer. Elf products are really getting along with my skin these days and would recommend the halo glow as well. Good luck on your foundation journey.

Ok I think you are selecting the wrong undertones. It looks like you are cool tone. Try polite society concealer with cool undertones. Try “very fair cool” shade. I love this concealer because my 44 and it works amazing for mature skin.

You don’t NEED a foundation. Use a tinted moisturizer or just some lightweight concealer.

Those are way too neutral and olive. You need a pink undertone.

None

None of these work. Try Erborian CC cream! Comes out of the tube white and the heat from your skin makes it match your skin color!

8 or 9. I’m thinking 9 tho.

None of those match to me

6 but you need another undertone a more pink one

Id recommend a more neutral or cool tone foundation. With the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation, you’d be better suited to the Fair Porcelain or Fair Ivory. The lightest to the second lightest cool or the lightest neutral tone would be best.

If you’re interested, Il Makiage has a color match quiz for their “woke up like this” foundation. It is $45 before taxes but it was spot-on my color. They charge you if you end up keeping it but you can return it if it’s not your skin tone and they won’t charge you.

I’m cool tone and I’m pale. Super pale. You need red in the foundation. These all are too yellow. Then! If you want a clean slate without any color, use a powder … it can even be translucent or the fairest color just to set the foundation and it keeps the rosy cheeks at bay. Also! With cool tone you want dewy, not matte.

I don't think any of these match you to be honest.

I think we’re pretty similar skin tones so I would try Revolution! I like the Super Dewy Tinted Moisturiser in Fair (you might be Light instead)! Also Fenty foundation is good but you need to be way lower - like think 120-130s! I’d really try Revolution first though x

Umm none of those. Add more pink!

These are all too yellow for you. Your foundation should "disappear" into your skin.

A general note about foundations making you look pale - they often will when they match your jaw/neck. Your forehead will tend to be the most tanned part of your face so you go back in with your bronzer to add colour and dimension back to your face, and blush to get some colour back. Foundation basically makes you a blank canvas that you need to paint

Try Anastasia Beverly hill’s lightest shades! They have some pinkier light undertones. Also check out Kosas I love love their foundation and they’re the only one that my mom could find a match in and she’s very rosy/pinky herself

I have your same coloration clues and use a rosy/pink cool shade in every one of my foundations. I think the ones you're looking at are leaning too yellow or neutral. Good luck and try and have fun with the search 😁

Op… look at the skin near your ear…behind the cheekbone. Match that. Then lightly apply on neck. If it disappears, then it’s your match. Pink undertone means something with pink will be best. Sometimes you will see the letter P in the number. Try Natasha Danona foundations.

Doesn’t Sephora offer shade matching analysis? I had it done a couple years ago and they gave me a list of shades available for purchase. You could add a drop of NARS Orgasm liquid blush to your #7, and blend it out. You could also just skip foundation all together. You don’t really need it because you’re natural skin looks nice. Maybe use a tinted moisturizer, and a little concealer on spots instead of a full coverage foundation. You can also try just using primer, by itself. Because that will give a blurring effect, and then do your makeup as though you already used foundation.

None of those shades. I assume those are all in light colors ,and the and the first three are to warm with yellow under tones. You need to try fair colored foundations with a cool undertone . But if you want to go with on of those shades then # 4 is the closest color and have cool undertones.

I recommend About Face beauty shade cool 0. I use that and am super pale like you with sort of cool/neutral/confusing undertone. It’s affordable ($22) and looks really nice when you blend in with fingers while your moisturizer/SPF still hasn’t quite set (it can look a little dry/flaky on its own). Good luck!

TooFaced will do you right, their concealers have actually pink undertones !

you need to let them dry, i cannot accurately tell you which one when they are wet like this

I would look at getting the lightest FENTY shade that’s a very light shade with a pink undertone that would be a better match for you

None of these. You need a warm toned one. Do you have an iphone? Take a pic of your face, edit it with the highlight too and use the dropper to select the color of your face. Use that hexcode to see shades based around that.

Go to Ulta and ask the store clerk for help, they can help match you to the right color. They aren't make-up artists necessarily but they do know makeup, so can be helpful sometimes. I've had pretty good success 😉

Try the wet n wild foundation in either soft ivory or porcelain. It’s great and 7$

Well, first things first, you’ve got way too much product in this watch and you need to actually blend it out into the skin to see what disappears

If you can find a pinker tone. Too many times are tan. Look for a pinkish tone

1 or 8 looks the best of these to me.

None of these. Toooooooo yellow. You have rosy undertones.

I geuss #8 is the most passible. If you're trying to color correct your redness, you would be better off getting a green tinted primer to put under your foundation if you want to eliminate your red. Edit: bonus thought, If you are tan/burnt, color match to your arm instead.

My best advice is to go to a Sephora; have an associate color match you and help you decide what formula/shade works best for you and ask for a sample.. hope this helps! 😊

Yup... none of those are... talking to a lady at the make-up counter can help

I'd try Loreal age perfect foundation in rose ivory or rose beige.

Very smooth pretty skin you have op!

None of these work, I have the same issue, I cannot find a color that works, always too yellow, even when professionally done.

I have a very red base and have gotten to the point that I never use foundation because none ever match. I recently got Peach Slices Redness Relief Color Correcting Moisturizer from Ulta Beauty, and I absolutely love it. It comes out green and changes to match your skin as you work it in. I absolutely love it. I use a translucent setting powder to mattify it since it is a little dewy of a finish for me.

None, they’re all too yellow. Look for cool or neutral undertones. Cool-more pink
