Fellow fair skin and cool undertone person here. Try Tarte shade 8B, that’s the best match I’ve found so far. You’ll probably have to find it at Ulta or go to Tarte’s site, Sephora stopped carrying this shade. When you’re struggling to find a match I suggest double checking brand websites directly so you know for sure what the full spectrum of colors they produce actually is, you might have more options than you know.Hourglass is also good for very light shades but they’re expensive.

@brilin28 , do you currently have a complexion product that is the perfect match for you? Even if it's not a skin tint, such as a concealer or a powder? If so, bring that with you as a starting point. Spoiler(Also, you might be an olive overtone. M wondering if your are because you started you'rea warm neutral, but usually undertones are either warm-neutral-cool and not mix. An overtone however, works to that effect. If you find neutral foundations kind of work on you, but aren't the exact match, it's usually because you have this overtone, so sometimes things look too warm, or too muted, depending on the products base colors.Olive brands FYI: Pat McGrath Labs, Lys Beauty, Ami Colé, Armani Beauty, Dior has some but not too many for deep 😑, Range Beauty, Basma, Haus Labs runs cool but does account for olives in that way, About Face (available at Ulta), Gucci, Fenty Beauty and I think L'Oreal Infallible.(Also, you might be an olive overtone.

For example, some people match the center of their face to their neck if they have a lot of hyperpigmentation on the perimeter of there face. Or, so you prefer the base to be your exact match? There's no wrong or right, just what you feel most comfortable in. Have them swatch foundations/tints in a couple of places, a good foundation swatch is usually on your jawline, down to your chin. Take pics in store and also when you're in daylight to see the difference. Good luck and may all your matches be in stock and flawless!

@connieconn Something you can do for a glowy concealer is taking something emollient like a serum or eye cream and mix it in with a concealer you have. I picked this up from Judy Lim on IG, and it works pretty well, for example I like Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Lift & Flex Hydrating Concealer With Hyaluronic Acid & Caffeine 12 but it's a little dry, so adding Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops Serum helps. Another hydrating concealer I like is Fenty Beauty by Rihanna We're Even Hydrating Longwear Waterproof Concealer Deep 445N Lip stain oils, there aren't many except Kulfi Lassi Lips Staining Long-Lasting Moisturizing Lip Oil and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil Stain . K-Beauty has more of these, Rom&and comes to mind, and Nyx recently released IV lip stain that's close to these. Cream concealer 🤔, this isn't something I use, the only one I liked enough has also been discontinued. I would try Danessa Myricks Beauty Vision Cream Cover Adjustable Foundation & Concealer for that category, just because she's pretty into a similar aesthetic, skin that looks like skin

@tinybaby970 A few questions for you: What’s your skin type/behavior: dry, oily, combo, or balanced (not too dry or oily anywhere)? How do you set your foundation after application: powder, setting spray, or nothing at all? What’s your morning skincare routine (brands + product names), from cleanser to sunscreen? I often see folks with oily skin ask how to keep foundation from getting blotchy/patchy throughout the day, but it can also be a problem for dry skin that’s not hydrated & moisturized enough—though dry skin folks usually say their foundation’s clinging to dry patches or looking cakey. Tweaking skincare can fix some of these issues; that’s why I asked about your routine up there.

Medium neutral olive here 👋🏽 @TJLippyLuv27 Have you tried findination? You can enter the Lisa Eldridge and see what correlates with other brands. Brands with olive: Armani, Dior, Range Beauty, Ami Colé, Lys Beauty, About Face, Pat McGrath Labs, Fenty, Gucci (although this runs really yellow IMO, but they note olive shades) and technically Haus Labs (runs very cool/pink IMO) Monica Ravichandran is a medium neutral olive, and a great follow for olive resources.

Use the new reformllation studio fix powder foundation from MAC cosmetics. This will give you an additional coverage on top of your liquid foundation. This method is for all the Matte finish girlies. I have been using this method for years. Give it try. s

@BABEBEAUT @Sephora employee here Welcome to BIC! I feel you on the change as you hit 40. I hit 40 2 years ago and noticed changes as well. As with the wrong shade match, have you done a skin scan in your local Sephora? Also what products are you currently using and your skin type?
