New year, same LSA.
Do you have a hard time selecting a color because of the models brands use? I’m true blue caramel and I honestly hate having to figure out undertones/overtones when the model is Indian or mixed race.
Yes. I made my peace with having to use Indian or darker Asian women as examples when I look up products on YouTube LOLOL
But it is annoying, because non-black women use so much bronzer and tanning lotion, so sometimes it isn't a perfect match.
I used them too. But I’m pissed that Indians didn’t come out with a foundation line. I need them to get it together because the rest of us need those different undertones and FENTY isn’t cutting it
I was so disappointed in Fenty! I thought for sure that Rihanna and I were the same shade, but the MUA at Sephora kept going lighter and lighter and still couldn't find a match.

Idk. It's rough cause I'm right on the cusp of LS and brown, depending on who you ask. But I'm neutral to yellow. Lots of Indian women and foundations run way too red for me, but be just the lightest bit too neutral? Casket ready. It do be a struggle.
I don't wear makeup a lot in the first place, but at this point I've decided to stop wearing full face foundation altogether and focus on skincare/spot treatment if needed. Maybe a very light layer of tinted moisturizer for evenness.
Yes i have to be careful because i have a red undertone but Nars has been good to me but in the winter i have to go lighter.
It’s crazy how something can be too light for us and too dark so weirdSame struggles and NARS has been my fave for a while.
Because I have an olive undertone it’s actually really helpful to see brown Indian/south asian women modeling the shade because I fall in that tone range.Do you have a hard time selecting a color because of the models brands use?

Also, would anyone be able to recommend a good pinkish nude lip?
\I went for fenty based on Rihanna’s skin tone too but I’m not in love with the selection.

I thought it was just me who was disappointed in the Fenty shade range. I bought 330 as I and Rihanna are of the same complexion and it was like a mask on my face lol, they really missed the mark with not prioritizing undertones. I prefer NAS, Armani luminous silk foundation or Pat McGrath, honestly.
Shade twin!I’m Tahoe/Syracuse in nars and wear luminous silk 9
Was wondering what shade you wear in pat mcgrath? I’ve been eyeing it up but I can only buy it online as there are no stores in my area to try a sample
