I'm trying to decide which cookie correctors to use, but if not sure about my undertones....I'm fairy skinned and my face turns red easily. my complexion is sallow and uneven. I tend to use foundations labeled either light or some variation of ivory (generally the second lightest shade), I'm currently using the Ko five pack from rcma and ko 1 is go to. yellow undertone foundations are usually super yellow on me, but pink undertone foundations tend to be just as garish.. I'm lost lol.. am neutral? what correction colors would work best of me?

What are you trying to correct? Redness, sallowness, dark spots? Whatever issue you're trying to cover, use the opposite color to correct.

Red = green
Sallow = lilac
Bluish dark circles = salmon or peach
Purple dark circles = yellow or peach

If your foundation looks either too yellow or too pink, you're likely neutral. You may be leaning closer to one or the other (neutral warm, or neutral cool) if true neutral looks greyish.
