Foundations and shade matching

Okay so I'm in the market for some new foundations and concealers and I'm trying to figure out my shades without going to get color matched. I currently use the clinique beyond perfecting foundation and concealer in one and I was color matched at a store and the shade I was given in that foundation was 0.5 Breeze, but according to the website that shade is for cool undertones and I believe I have warm undertones but my face is always red. So my question is: What would be a good shade for me in the clinique foundation for warmer or maybe neutral undertones? Also what would be a good shade match for warmer and neutral undertones in the Jouer High coverage cream foundation AND the milk blur liquid foundation? Also in the jouer concealer, what shade would work with lighter skin and warmer or neutral undertones? I know I can go to a store and be shade matched and be able to get the right shades but I don't live near a sephora (closest one is over an hour away) so I'm wanting to order online to save a trip. The clinique shade I have is a decent match but it has the cool undertones and I think I need warm or neutral. What shade do you suggest in the clinique foundations and what shades in jouer and milk would match the clinique shade? and what jouer concealer would match the clinique foundation? I'm looking to order all 3 foundations in the right shade and the concealer at the same time.

RE: Foundations and shade matching

What I have been doing is been working really well for me. I like the Lancôme foundation and the It cosmetic Matte Cc cream. I got shades that I thought would match me. Know I usually have a tan or some of a base tan that matches pretty well tpnthe foundations on the own. But before that I would buy a mini size It cosmetic size a shade darker to custom mix. And now I love the Drunk Elephant Bronzi tinted serum. Any color I am , whether is a base tan or a spray tan, I can add to each foundation to darken lot or slightly as it fades. I love it and get skin care benefits from thenCc cream and the Bronzi serum. It has worked well with Lancôme too instead of added the lighter shade or darker shade of concealer in to give it a color boost either was depending on coverage and how full on I want it. I always recommend mixing to find you right one. Bronzi by Drunk Elephant at all and just for a little glow can be added to to a moisturizer and worn like that.

@Anonymous The sephora website has a shade matcher also if that isn't working you can try using findation site and the more products you enter the better the match it will give you!! I would suggest trying one of those!!
