Cool undertones and foundation shade matching

[harrypotterfan6]

Has anyone with cool undertoned skin run into foundation shade matching issues?? I've always had cool to neutral undertones (see pic above) and am fairly decent at shade matching myself, but sometimes I have difficulty since my face is naturally much pinker than my body without makeup on. I've had makeup artists tell me I should go for a yellow-based foundation to neutralize the redness, but I end up looking jaundiced lol. I like neutral toned foundations, but some run too yellow. Generally, pink-based shades are the way to go for me; not everyone has yellow undertones (I'm looking at you, Bobbi Brown!) Some pink-toned shades are too pink. Does anyone else have this dilemma?? I'm a 1R06 in Sephora's color IQ.

@harrypotterfan6 If you haven't already, I would totally recommend checking out the www.findation.com website.  It allows you to input shades of foundations that work well for you into a matrix and it will not only help you to determine your shade in other foundations of your choice but it will also simply suggest other shades of foundations based off of the information that you provide.  It's been very helpful for me when I want to find my shade in a foundation but am unable to physically swatch it in a store, etc.
