I'm fair to light skinned with yellow undertones. My shades are:

  • Giorgio Armani Lasting Silk in 4.5
  • Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk in 3 (a very good match)
  • Guerlain Lingerie de Peu in Beige Clair (also a very good match)
  • Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua in B10 (my current everyday, blends very well)
  • Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick in Warm Ivory
  • Becca Luminous Skin Color Ultra Sheer Foundation in Sand

I'm looking into buying MAC Face & Body but I'm having troubling determining whether the shade C1 is light enough for me. I don't have a MAC pro account so buying the white base isn't an option for me. If any of you ladies are the same shade as me please let me know if C1 (or which shade) was the proper shade!! Thanks in advance! :flowers:

Update! In the interim I decided to go ahead and buy the foundation and try it out since it was free shipping & return from Nordstrom. C1 is light enough and a good match for my skin! Once I put it over my face it blends in very well and I can't even tell I am wearing anything.

So just to update my list:
  • Giorgio Armani Lasting Silk in 4.5
  • Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk in 3 (a very good match)
  • Guerlain Lingerie de Peu in Beige Clair (also a very good match)
  • Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua in B10 (my current everyday, blends very well)
  • Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick in Warm Ivory
  • Becca Luminous Skin Color Ultra Sheer Foundation in Sand
  • MAC Face & Body Foundation in C1

I love bobbi brown skin in shade 2 sand also, have you found a great match with a fuller coverage than this and can you recommend any powders to match?

Clinique Super Balanced - 15 Golden

I have been using this for 10+ years. One time I went on a 2 week hunt trying to find a different foundation... tried EVERYTHING Mac, Chanel, Dior, Nars, Stila, Bobby Brown (no joke)
- hated them all... couldn't find the right colour.

Once you find the right foundations you can't change!

Mac Studio Fluid Fix NC37
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser in Sand
Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream #27 Honey Beige (I'd wear this all the time IF only it didn't give me the ghost face with flash photography due to the high SPF)

Has anyone ever tried Koh Gen Do foundations?? I am a Chanel Perfect Lumiere 30 beige. Let me know what you think? I want to try this out.

It is awesome and NOW would be the best time to try it as Hautelook has a lot of their cosmetics line at 50% off and they just extended the sake an extra day. HTH. I live in a dry climate and *love* their moisture foundation. Not at all cakey and feels really nice. I REALLY live their skincare line. Unfortunately, it is not part if this sale. If you are uncertain of your color cal Koh Gen Do and ask for samples, they are quite generous!
