I match you perfectly too! I know this thread is old, but I was wondering what shade in YSL Teint Eclat you wear? BD30 is far too dark for me. Bobbi Brown's Sand 2.0 is a perfect match on my skin :)

Hello! We are very close in skin tone. Bobbi Brown's Sand 2.0 is a near perfect match for me. I recently tried YSL Teint Eclat and the B30 recommended was far too dark. Have you tried this yet and what shade if so? Thanks! :)

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:

Hi! I'm both pink/yellow...neutral I guess? I know Bobbi Brown's Sand 2.0 is a near perfect match for me and it sounds as if you might be very close to my tone since MAC NW 20 looks too orange online to me, maybe even too dark. My question is whether you've tried out YSL Teint Eclat? I was sent B30 and it was far too yellow and too dark and I'm desperate to know what I should re-order. Thanks!

I'm NW30 in MAC pro longwear spf 10 foundation, does anyone know any other matches to this shade in other brands? I'm really keen to try Nars sheer glow, Chanel vitalumier, Laura Mercier silk creme, and anythoer brands you can all think of!! :)

ysl tient resist in 4
and i think chanel vitalumiere aqua in br30

Probably either one would work.

~ I am a Bobbi Brown Sand 2.0
~Estee Lauder Smart Makeup in Linen
~Neutrogena Healthy skin in Buff
~Revlons New Complexion in Ivory Beige

I have both yellow and pink tones, but even so have difficulty finding shades because I usually fall between the lightest and 2nd or 3rd lightest shades all too often. Le Teint Touche Eclat in B30 was too dark for me, although it was great as far as coloring. I can however wear B20 and BD10 both (haven't tried the BR because I'm in my late 40's now and have gained some redness to my complexion) so you will probably need a 20 or 30 depending on time of year.

I've found this link very useful, it is more accurate since it is not based on women's opinions (and many ladies all too often choose shades too dark or just plain wrong for their skintone) it is based on a carefully designed color algorithm: http://findation.com/

Tom Ford Traceless Foundation - Alabaster
Givenchy Photo Perfection - 4 - Perfect Vanilla
Armani Luminous Silk 3.75
By Terry Teint Delectation - Milky Vanilla
Guerlain Lingerie de Peau - 12 - Rose Clair. The other day I went to buy the cream version of this and the S/A said Beige Clair would be better for me. I bought the Beige Clair but haven't tried it yet. I think I'm really somewhere in between the two colors, but they are very close. In spite of the name, the Rose Clair does not have much pink or red in it.

I attached a picture. Each brand has subtle differences. I think the Armani is too pink for me, but their yellow based version was way too yellow. I think Armani isn't the brand for me. TF and Guerlain are the best.

I think every brand has such subtle differences in their color selections, its necessary (and usually costly) to buy a lot of them.


So does MAC color code people? Are those the codes people refer to? That's interesting. Sephora does the Pantone color matching. I've never done it. At the moment I don't need any more foundation to put it mildly.

What do you think of Ellis Fass? I sampled it in the NK shop in Bloomingdale's and I found it more dense than I expected. I'd been watching Wayne Goss's videos raving about it and was expecting to buy it but I wasn't convinced. And the price????

You're not wrong, it is really dense. I use the tiniest squirt on the back of my wrist and then use my fingers only to apply. And all I can say is after about 15 mins of wearing it, it seems to meld to my skin and for the rest of the day my face looks fantastic.
