I’m very new to makeup. The only times I’ve bought foundation and concealer is with my mom. We only buy from Clinique though I’ve also tried other brands. My problem is, I can never find my shade. The sales lady always gives me a shade that is way too light on me but it’s not obvious in that moment because of the lighting. I think my skin changes (or looks like it changes) color depending on the lighting. My mom also wouldn’t let me put the tester foundation/concealer on my face so we put it on my hand/arm. But the thing is, I’m like 80% sure that’s not an accurate way of finding a person’s shade because the shade of my skin on my arm is different from that of my face. I also can’t tell my shade to be honest because I never found one that was fit for my shade. So I don’t have any reference. I think I’m on the lighter side of morena? But not necessarily brown? All the foundations/concealers I’ve tried are either too pale on me, have this white or orange undertone that makes me look weird, or makes me cakey. Tbh I’ve never tried a foundation/concealer that didn’t make me look cakey but maybe that’s because I don’t know how to use makeup. Anyways, yeah, how would you advise me to find my shade?

    I got the best match the other week at Mac. The new studio radiance serum foundation! It was amazing how good the colour match was! My last foundation match was not like that at all! I put it on and I barely need to blend the edges it just works!!!
