Foundation Matches

To make things easier, I finally sat down to write down all of my foundation and concealer matches! I generally don't change shades throughout the year as well and so if you're a skin tone twin, I hope this helps!

As of my right now (December 2020), my closest matches are NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation in Punjab, Pat McGrath Sublime Foundation in LM10, and Missha Glow Tension in Neutral 25 Tan. Going forward from 12/2020, I'll also be putting the year I matched to that shade to help determine where I'm currently at with my skintone. 
  • Armani Beauty
    • Power Fabric Concealer in 4.5
    • Neo Nude Foundation
      • A mix of 4 and 6 is perfect for me. Based on just the description, there isn't a warm undertone in the 5s and so that's why I went with 4 first since that's my closest match in the Luminous Silk Foundation range. Based on reviews, a neutral toned 5 could work though
    • Luminous Silk Foundation in 4
  • Bourjois
  • Charlotte Tilbury
    • Light Wonder Foundation in 6 (Review & Swatches with shades 5, 6, and 7)
    • Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder in 2 Medium
      • A hair too dark
    • Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder in 1 Fair
      • A hair too light, but perfect under the eyes and on the t-zone
    • Airbrush Flawless Foundation in 4 Neutral (2020)
    • Magic Away Liquid Concealer in 4 Fair (2020)
  • Cover FX
  • Etude House
    • Double Lasting Foundation 
      • Pre 2020 Formulation - N07 Amber
      • 2020 Formulation - Between 27N1 Amber and 25N1 Tan
    • Play 101 Stick Foundation in #4 Sand* (Review & Swatches)
      • 1-2 shades too light
    • Big Cover Concealer BB SPF50+ / PA+++ in #23 Sand* (Review & Swatches)
      • 1-2 shades too light
    • Real Powder Cushion Foundation SPF 50+ PA+++ in Honey Beige* (Review & Swatches)
      • 1 shade too light

      • 1-2 shades too light

    • Skin Tint in Medium
  • Gucci
    • Natural Finish Fluid Foundation / Fluide De Beaute Fini Naturel in Fair 180W (2020)
  • Hourglass
    • Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick in Nude
    • Vanish Seamless Finish Liquid Foundation in Nude (Review & Swatches)
      • One layer is slightly too warm/yellow and two layers to get full coverage is slightly too dark and slightly too warm/yellow
  • It Cosmetics
    • Your Skin But Better CC Cream with SPF 50+ in Medium (Review & Swatches)
    • Bye Bye Redness Neutralizing Correcting Cream in Transforming Natural Beige
  • Lancome
    • Skin Feels Good Nourishing Foundation in 025W Soft Beige
  • L'oreal
  • MAC Cosmetics
    • Pro Longwear Concealer in NC35
      • Slightly too beige a tiny bit too dark. I haven't gotten matched at MA in awhile, but I think I'm closer to NC30 now (June 2020)
    • Face & Body in C3 (2020)
    • Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Plus or Medium Golden
      • I can get away with either since I only like a light layer of powder, but if you're layering it on and need a tone reference, Medium Golden is more yellow and Medium Plus is more Beige/Neutral
  • Makeup Forever
    • HD Invisible Cover Foundation in #127 Dark Sand (Review & Swatches)
    • Ultra Hd Invisible Cover Foundation in #127 / Y335 Dark Sand (Review, Swatches, & Comparison)
    • Ultra HD Foundation Stick in 127=Y335
    • As of June 2020, I'm closer to Y315 - Sand but I wish it was slightly more yellow
  • Marc Jacobs
  • Maybelline
    • Dream Cushion Fresh Face Liquid Foundation in 30 Warm Nude
    • Fit Me Shine Free Foundation Stick in 220 Natural Beige (Review & Swatches)

    • Soft Matte Complete Concealer in Ginger
      • Too dark for under my eyes and slightly too dark for the rest of my face
    • Soft Matte Complete Foundation in Punjab (2020)
    • All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation in Barcelona (Review & Swatches)
      • As of Dec 2020, a couple shades too dark. I'm so sure I was matched in correctly from the beginning anyway
  • Pat McGrath
    • Sublime Perfection Foundation in LM10  (2020)
    • Sublime Perfection Concealer in LM08 (2020)

  • Urban Decay
    • Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Foundation in 6.0 (Review & Swatches)

* The Etude House products marked with an asterisk were gifted to me through their Pink Bird program. The Marc Jacobs foundation marked with an asterisk was gifted to me through Influenster.

** Wanted to include some corrector shades as well, but this category depends on your own features that you want to color correct

  • Becca Cosmetics
    • Under Eye Brightening Correct
      • Light to Medium
        • My under eye circles aren't that bad and so I only "need" a bit of color correcting. The very very slight shimmer running through this corrector and pinky tones really helps brighten up my eyes
      • Medium to Dark* gifted via Influenster 
        • Doesn't provide the brightness I want but this will still on others if your skin tone is the same as mine, but have darker under eye circles.
