I am SO terrible at choosing foundation shades, and I am wondering if any of you has a very good eye and can help me?

If my skin matches Chanel CC Cream in shade 30 and Clarins Skin Illusion in Cashew....what shade should I buy for Clarins Even Better?

I don't know if you're deadset on Clarins but if you're not Il Makiage is great and they have a colour match questionnaire which is v v accurate ( or at least it was for me!)

Thanks for recommending. I am keen on any foundations sold by Boots under £38, which is the amount I have in points to spend!

Try this site https://findation.com/
You enter in the foundations you've used before and it gives you matches

Wow, thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for and the tool found my shade so easily. Thanks so so much!

Thge only thing I would say with the findation thingy is use some common sense (oops that sounds rude! ). I mean it helps if you know you are warm or cool. I am deffo warm Ivory but according to that information I can be anything from Porcelain (not likely usually not warm enough and I look like a ghost!), light (ok) medium (hmmm) blush beige Nope, no pink thank you! I notice some of the French houses always tried to put a pink tone on me!

I wouldn't base it on the chanel cc - they "stretch"
