Bourjois Healthy Mix - 52
Chanel Vitalumiere - B20
Diorskin Nude - 020 Light Beige
MAC - NC20

Lilacs,

I'm the same skin tone as you....I'm around nc20 neutral leaning warm. In the YSL I can wear the BR30 (slightly pinky but looks good) or the B30 (definitely yellow on me but passable). I usually prefer to go slightly pinker vs slightly yellower bc I hate looking sallow
 
Ooh, this is useful - I've started using BB creams (Asian brands only) since it's so hard to find a perfect foundation match.

I lean towards pale with yellow tone. I use:

Bobbi Brown foundation in 2 Sand and pressed powder in Pale Yellow
MAC NC 30 but it's too yellow on my skin to definitely mismatch
Liz Earle tinted moisturiser in Light
UNE BB cream foundation in 101

Thanks! I know exactly what you mean about looking sallow. I hate that too. I tend to gravitate towards neutral base. I'll check out BR30 and see how that works out. Thanks again!

Great reference thread.

I don't see anyone with my same skintone but maybe the thread will grow! I'd love to see some other brand match suggestions


NARS Cadiz
Make Up Forever HD #173
 
I'm also #500 in the Lancôme thing ultra! I've always wanted to try luminous silk ill try #10.

I really like the Lancome. I was very skeptical about it, but I have been using it everyday since I bought it and m very pleased with the wear. It has replaced what I thought was my HG (NARS). I set it with MAC Prep and Prime powder... Another new favorite of mine :-) and have received nothing but compliments on my complexion.

we're foundation twins! I like the Lancome teint ultra, a lot! I have 3 foundations NARS Sheer glow, Chanel Perfection Lumiere, and now the Lancome teint ultra. I like becca (it's more a tinted moisturizer) o days when I don't feel like wearing foundation..
 
I'm usually between MAC NC25 and NC30 (in winter leaning more 25...)

- Shu Uemura Smooth Fit Fluid Foundation 964 Medium light honey (more yellowish than NC25 and NC30 and definitely paler than NC30)
- Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation #53 (more pinkish than MAC)
- Bare Minerals Original in Light (leans more towards NC30)
