I don't even know what undertone I have (the veins on my wrist are blue, purple and green) but my face and neck look yellowish, I try to match my foundation to my neck and chest and they are light and yellow and I can't seem to find a foundation "yellow" enough, my face always looks pinkier in natural light, I've tried and bought foundations with a yellow undertone and still it isn't enought, I have even tried sephora's color iq but the options are always so dark...help!! L😢😫😩

Here's a few things about foundation. 1. Foundation is made to make your face one toned. 2. Most foundations will not match perfectly. And that's okay! Because we are all different. If you have foundations maybe try mixing them. Play with different colors. I never use foundation anymore because I had a similar issue you just have to try different things to get a good result. Hopefully that was a little helpful!
