I always have trouble finding a foundation LIGHT enough for me. I'm pale with cool undertones and naturally dark strawberry blonde hair. What I have found to work:

Revlon Photo Ready in 001 Ivory
Covergirl Clean Sensitive Skin in 205 Ivory
Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Pressed Powder in Translucent
Clinique Perfectly Real Makeup in 01 (a little dark)
and my perfect match foundation Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo Foundation in Light 42
 
I am clueless about undertones, so I think I'm more neutral (naturally reddish-brown hair, blue eyes, but I look good in gold & silver so idk). I've never been matched in MAC, but for reference:

Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation in .5 (perfect match)
MUFE Mat Velvet 15
MUFE HD in 110

I know a few people around the internet have been interested in the match between the new Urban Decay and other brands, so there you have it :)
 
all MAC foundations NC40
lancome teint miracle bisque 6w
urban decay naked skin 6.0
mufe hd #153
ysl teint resist #6
giorgio armani luminous silk #7 (not the best match)
revlon photoready 006 medium beige
maybelline dream fresh bb cream in medium (medium-dark if i'm tanned)
 
MAC Mineralize Satin Finish foundation in NC42
MAC MSF Natural in Medium Dark
NARS Sheer Matte in Syracuse
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer (Oil Free) in Caramel
MUFE Duo Mat powder foundation in #209
 
I'm not sure if I'm warm or cold. It seems to be 50/50 between make up artists.

Urban decay Naked skin 5
Mac Matchmaster 4 (or 5 if I'm tanned)
Mac Mineralize Satinfinish NC 30
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer in Fawn

If anyone can recommend what would work for me in a drug store brand like Loreal, Maybelline or perhaps Revlon I would very grateful.
 
Hi All,

I am looking for the right shade of foundation in Lancome. Currently, I use Shiseido natural light ochre 02 and it matches perfectly. Can anyone help me find out what the closest shade is in Lancome? Thanks so much in advance!
 
Giorgio Armani lasting silk in #2
NARS sheer glow in siberia
Paul & Joe light cream foundation S in #00

If anyone uses any of the above and knows of another match please contact me, I'm desperately searching for the perfect foundation but find it incredibly difficult to find a colour match. Thank you!
 
I have warm undertones,

NC30 in MAC
330 golden beige in Revlon color stay whipped (although i do think 320 might work better for me, 330 is a tad bit dark)
Fiji in Nars sheer glow
B30 in Chanel vitalumiere aqua
#6 in YSL Teint resist
120 in make up forever

Lorac POREfection Baked Perfecting Powder in PF2 Light/Clair
Sephora foundation in Medium(weird I know, considering the other colours I use, but it works))
