Struggling with foundations

2 replies

I'm searching for the right shade of foundation.
My skin doesn't have much actual yellow in it, it's more light peachy tones. It's not pink, as in cool, it is warm, but just not yellow.
Most foundations are far too yellow for me and look wrong. BB Warm Ivory, I'm looking at you in particular. On the other hand, foundation can easily look too orange on me.
Am I some sort of freak, or does anyone else have similar skin tone and can recommend some foundations for me to try.

Dior have foundations with neutral undertones, such as Diorskin Nude in the shades that end with 0, such as 010 and 020.

I also think Laura Mercier have good shades that aren't too yellow.

I personally find BB way too yellow.

Hello, mainly stopping by to commiserate as I have a similar skin tone and have the same problems. Generally find that when I do find a brand which has a prefect match they immediately discontinue it, but I am having some luck with Estee Lauder at the moment - their NC shades are peachy without being orange, and the finish is nice too.
