Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua in B30

Ellis Faas Skin Veil foundation in 102 (104 when tanned). The most beautiful foundation ever, IMO. Just makes you look like you have absolutely gorgeous skin, not a great foundation, really amazing. Unfortunately, it made my skin break out like crazy, so that's that...

Chantecaille Future Skin Foundation in Vanilla - perfect color match, but unfortunately did not look good on me.

Guerlain Lingerie de Peau - sadly, there was no good color match for me in this one. 02 Beige Clair was too light and too yellow, 03 Beige Naturel too dark. 12 Rose Clair wasn't too light nor too dark, but too pink. Still, a beautiful foundation, very "liquidy", that could be applied in a very sheer manner (half a pump can easily be stretched to the entire face) or easily buildable without being cakey, as it is very pigmented.

Yves Saint Laurent Perfect Touch Radiant Brush Foundation in 5 Peach - good color match (not peachy at all, except in name, lol), overall very pretty, VERY sheer foundation, gives a nice luminosity and glow to the skin, evens out tone somewhat.

By Terry Sheer Expert Foundation - also not the best color match for me. 02 was the right tone, but too light, 04 the right shade but a tad too pink. Also, made me oily and kind of slides off my face after 2-3 hours (first foundation ever to do that to me).

Chantecaille Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer in Bliss - LOVE!!!! Could this be my HG?? Beautiful natural dewy finish, covers everything that needs to be covered (redness, blemishes), but still manages to let the skin show through (I can still see my freckles!). Not sure how it does that, but I'll take it ;)

I have combination skin (normal/dry in winter and oily/normal in summer), in a light-medium, with neutral undertones (so in a pinch I can get away with both yellow and pink based foundations), but slight yellow looks somehow healthier/more natural on me :)

I think my coloring is close to yours! Which do you like better...the Chanel Perfection or the Shiseido?:)

sorry, I did not get a message about your question, sorry for the delay.

I like Shiseido better. Chanel Perfection was nice but too much of a strong smell for me...fragrant smell. I also think it might have some alcohol in it, which I don't like in my make up/skincare items. Plus, Shiseido caters to more shades w/yellow undertones :smile1:

Bare Escentuals Original & Matte - Fair
MUFE HD Foundation in 110

I'm wanting to try Chanel Luminere foundation and Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer in the next few months, so I'll report back if I find color matches in those.

Bare Escentuals Original & Matte - Fair
Make Up Forever HD Foundation - 110
Smashbox BB Cream - Fair
Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Compact - BR22

Revlon Colorstay Foundation - 110... a great color match, but sadly makes me break out - so this is getting tossed.

I tested the Laura Mercier TM at Sephora and didn't feel like the lightest tone was a great match for me... I may go back later in the summer and see if either one of the lightest shades will work for me then.

Went to Sephora today and got matched with MUFE 115 - the first time I've been matched with a cool shade. It looked good in Sephora though, and I just tried it on at home and it looks pretty good. Maybe I have more neutral undertones if I've been matched with both cool and warm foundations?
