Balance and Brighten L Geller shade help

Thanks to another thread I want to try this foundation.
I purchased a Porcelain one yesterday (not pleased saying from eBay as it is sold out everywhere)
I am fair, with dark hair and blue eyes, cool pink undertones (always reddish pink cheeks)

I thought Porcelain would be too light and I am not alabaster skin but I read reviews of Fair being too yellow.
We went out for the day and looked at my skin and I think I am starting to get a bit of a "tan" so when Porcelain arrives it might probably be too light.

If I like the product I could keep that for winter. Then which shade to pick?
Are they all but porcelain for warm undertones?

Anyone with fair skin and rose cool tones who is not very very pale has managed to find the one?

Thank you!!!

I love it and have porcelain, fair and medium because I don’t like being all one colour, so I use porcelain with light as a contour in the winter and light with medium in the summer.

I have made this system over the years Grin quite expensive to start up but they last ages for me, yearly I stock up on QVC.

As for diagnosing your colour type I would imagine porcelain is for you ! But you will have to see. That’s why qvc is good as you can return it if it’s the wrong colour.

@prettywhiteguitar thanks! So annoyed that it is put of stock there.
I see you have skipped Fair and go for Porcelain, light and Medium
Is it because Fair is more yellow and Light is less so?

So complicated!

Oh no I just checked and I have fair ! Sorry to confuse you, I actually think my old fair is more yellow than the new one that is from years ago and I bought the supersize recently so maybe they have tweaked the colours. I think the only way is to try it unfortunately!

Thank @prettywhiteguitar
I guess I will have to sacrifice some £££ until I find the one Grin

I have the medium, love it to set my foundation, on it's own it a bit light, what shade do you think I should try next.
