I can't see anyone who sounds like the same shade as me, so would be grateful for any help please! Based on the below, does anyone have any suggestions as to which shade I might potentially be for Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation? I'm not able to go to a counter unfortunately:

1. Bare Escentuals Original Mineral Powder - "Fairly Light" ("Light" looks too tan and "Golden Fair" too green-ish pale on me).

2. YSL Touche Eclat Foundation - From memory, I was matched at the make up counter as a B30 (although the week before they matched me as B40, which when on, looked a tad dark/tan on me).

Also, does Luminous Silk hold up well in very dry climates? The mineral powder isn't working that well as the climate here is progressively getting drier.

Hope someone can help! I'm not very knowledgeable in this area :P

Thanks! :)

I wear YSL Touche Eclat B40, which I love for the color match and dewiness. Since I live in relatively humid places though, I've been looking for a more matte alternative, which the Armani seems to be - so its not going to be very dewy in a very dry climate I'd imagine. Bigger problem for me with Armani is it's too orangey for me - same problem with MAC. Bobbi Brown's foundations are better in that respect.

I currently wear Estee lauder double wear in fresco 2C3. Does anyone know what color I would be in Lancome, bobbi brown, hourglass and Laura mercier. Estee lauder is really drying my face out and I need to find another foundation that I like just as well

I've been using Missha cushion compact shade #21 foundation for several weeks now
& it is the best foundation I have used in a while. The color is perfect for me &
the sheer coverage is just enough for now.. The finish on the skin is rather glowy
 
#255
MAC Studio Fix Fluid - NC 20
MUFE HD - 120
Nars Sheer Glow - (Fiji & Punjab)

With the nars, I have to mix both but with highlighting under my eyes with Mac Pro long wear in NC15, I could probably get away with it Punjab OR wear Fiji and just warm my face up w bronzer and contour! Pls lemme know what shade you're in if you're NC 20!
