My Foundation Shade Reference Guide

Hi Everyone,

Sorry that its been a minute since I last posted. I really wanted to do a shade reference guide as I get asked almost all the time what my shade is in other foundations. I will continuously be updating this as I am always trying new foundations and I just cannot live without foundation. Keep in mind that I am an NC44.5 however, I prefer to wear NC45 shades sometimes as I have blemish prone skin and I feel like a darker shade of foundation covers my imperfections better. So I will be noting down next to each shade if its my exact shade or darker.

Drugstore foundations:

Rimmel Match Perfection – 502 Noisette(Slightly Darker)
