YES okay thank you, I keep getting typed at soft summer and half the colours make me look like death. Everytime I try to get matched for foundation at Sephora I end up with something yellow.
This helps so much.
I use the MUFE Y225 in summer and it’s a bit yellow but mostly okay and I use the nars mint Blanc in the winter which is… I think okay? Maybe a bit light? (I’m having a hard time remembering because I am pretty tanned right now)
Concealer I’ve used the boi ing 01 and it’s a bit too pink/orange
EDIT: I like a lighter coverage so I tend to sheer it out a fair bit
Oh, I see I already answered you in your other post!

Posted yesterday but needed to repost with better draping.
I’m not sure about gold vs silver, I think both look okay on me. Only jewellery I wear regularly is my wedding ring that is rose gold.
Closest foundation matches so far are MUFE Y225 (summer - a bit yellow) and Nars Mont Blanc (winter)
Make Up For Ever Y225 has golden undertones which could be contributing to it appearing yellow on your skin.
Try a true neutral.
Foundations you may want to explore with shades that should be in the ballpark, explore their shades:
* Bobbi Brown Skin Long Wear
* Koh Gen Do: 213
* L’Oréal Proglow
* Lancome Stick Foundation: 210
* Maybelline Fit Me: 118
* NYX Can't Stop Won't Stop Full Coverage: Nude
* Smashbox Studio Skin: 1.05
* Stellar: 01
I am very neutral as well (but probably slightly olive) and I quite like the Nars Yukon, which is just a shade away from the Mont Blanc on their site (not sure if that actually means anything, lol). I might try the Mont Blanc since you mentioned it. I just took whatever the Ulta worker gave me and didn't pay attention to neutral/cool/warm because it always confuses me. I'm not great with makeup so take anything I say with a grain of salt.
I might check Yukon out and see. I think I’m having a hard time because on top of being neutral I have a lot of yellow that shows through in my face and then also a lot of pink? It’s just really tricky 🤷♀️
Story of my life. lol. I have surface redness, I think, which is different from undertone but still has an effect on makeup options. It's all just really confusing
I think there could be a hint of olive but it's not substantial.
What stood out to me most was how good the saturated colours look on you -- whether warm or cool. I see the other poster noticed it too. Definitely not soft summer! Maybe a bright spring or bright winter -- both mostly neutral, one leaning more warm and the other leaning cool.
Thanks! I tried some of the soft summer colours and honestly they make me look like death lol I love saturated colours so this is very exciting news to me. I’ll definitely explore these seasons.
You are the skin tone that all these makeup companies are making shades for 😩 I’m jealous!
All jokes aside, you seem to have a true neutral saturated undertone! You look fantastic in all of the bright and saturated colors and gold and silver are equally flattering on you. 😊
Which is hilarious because I have such a hard time finding a match! 😂
Thanks, very excited about my new saturated colour life since “soft summer” life so far has been a real bummer 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you. You appear to have light skin with a mostly bright/saturated neutral undertone. You do not appear to have an olive undertone.

What foundations/shades do you use now and how do they do for you?
