👻 FOUNDATION GUIDE! 

▸ UNDERTONE - My undertone is neutral leaning yellow. I have a hard time finding a perfect match because my undertone is a bit more gray. However, I’ve found that purchasing yellow-toned foundation is workable, whereas if I purchased a pink-toned foundation, it’s very obviously too pink for my skin tone.

▸ BEST FOUNDATION MATCH - BH Cosmetics Naturally Flawless Liquid Foundation in '201 Ivory' - Very neutral in tone

▸ ANOTHER GREAT MATCH - The Makeup Store Sculpt Excellence in 'Cotton' (very olive-toned, can look very green on someone with pink/red undertones)

▸ OTHER MATCHES IN POPULAR FOUNDATIONS - I purchase only cruelty-free makeup at this point, but here are some foundation references across many brands for those of you who are curious! 

•Tarte Rainforest of the Sea - Fair Neutral (also a near dead match for me) - very neutral, almost gray-toned. Can look too yellow on someone with pink/red undertones.

•MAC - NC 15/20 - Can look quite orange on me; NW can look pink. MAC doesn't have a foundation with my exact undertone.

•L’Oreal True Match - W1 - A bit warm and dries down darker than it goes on, but still a decent shade match.

•IT Cosmetics CC Cream - Fair - Very, very yellow, but workable. It can also appear quite gray due to the high amount of physical SPF, especially for someone who has pink/red undertones.

•Too Faced - Snow (a bit yellow/peach but still wearable)

•CYO - 101 (a bit too cool; wrong tone, but the right shade)

• Wet n Wild MegaCushion Foundation - Light Ivory - somewhat yellow to peach toned, but a very good match for me
