Looking for shade recommendations

[Bookie13]

 I’m shade caramel in #TooFaced Born this way foundation and 445/450N in#Lancôme Teint Idole. I was wondering if anyone using the same color or something close, what bronzer/contour products you use. I find it difficult to know which sets will be right for my skin tone. I would like to try cream/stick products but open to any suggestions.

Hey @Bookie13 , I have used that exact shade in BTW.  Just haven't worn it in awhile.

Depending on the brand, you might find yourself in the medium category or tan category.  I'm not sure if you're a neutral undertone

Bronzers I've used:

Nars Casino

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Sun Stalk'r Instant Warmth Bronzer Caramel Cutie 

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Bronzer 05 Teddy 

Contour:

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Match Stix Matte Contour Skinstick Truffle 

Danessa Myricks Beauty Groundwork: Defining Neutrals - Palette For Eyes, Brows, Face & Lips 

You can also contour with concealer

SEPHORA COLLECTION Best Skin Ever Full Coverage Multi-Use Hydrating Concealer 35N 

Too Faced Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Concealer with Hyaluronic Acid Toffee 

Sephora also redid their powder contours, haven't tried personally

SEPHORA COLLECTION Sephora Colorful® Contour Matte Powder

Thank you! I’m not really sure what undertone I am. Maybe that’s why I also have difficulty finding the right shade in foundations.

@Bookie13 , np!

So, with undertones two ways to check are vein color.  The other is jewelry.

Warm: green veins.  Gold jewelry compliments you best.

Neutral: green-blue veins.  Both silver and gold jewelry compliment you.

Cool: blue, blue-purple veins.  Silver jewelry compliments you best.

Now, the trickier part can be how foundations are mixed.  Born this way IMO has a lot of orange pigment to it, so to me it leans warm.  You can color correct for this by using the opposite complimentary.
