For reference, I wear Barcelona in all NARS foundations. I use bronzer on my forehead and around my cheeks and blush and everything else but feel like in photos I always look pale no matter how much bronzer I use. I tried darker shades and it just feels like my face is unbalanced for some reason? Pls help!
Are you using the wrong undertone, OP? When I used to use red-based foundations my face always looked so washed out, because I have a yellow-green undertone.
I know that ‘Barcelona’ is quite peachy, have you tried a foundation with cooler tones? Or even adding a blue colour correcting pigment into your current foundation?
