@50Mickey I too have found Doll foundations and concealers generally to be too yellow. The offered one years ago that worked for me, but those I tried more recently were no-go because of the colors.

@stevieb Yes so many are very yellow. I look like I've put dirt on my face with them. And "cool" (PINK!) toned don't work either. So I mix...

@Sooner I don't get much sun anymore, so not much color. Given that, I've found that ivory shades work pretty sell for me and if I want a dash more color, well, there's always a touch of blush. That said, I do better with pinks than yellows, never being a fan of that jaundiced look...

In my pantry with my cupcakes...

@stevieb You and I are in the same white boat I think. I have for many years used lightest or next to lightest shades, and oddly Shiseido and Shu Umera foundations used to work well for me in these lighter shade. A Trish McEvoy tech way way back when put me in lighter foundation and I was amazed at the difference!

Anyhow, it is a puzzlelment. Also, drugstore brands are usually worse about either being very yellow or very pink. I just bought some Chantecaille that is good, got it 30 percent off and enough to last forever. I use so little foundation now.

I am using a very inexpensive one from Wet 'N Wild that I like a lot. It is their tinted moisturizer. I usually even wear a moisturizer, or their primer underneath + I'm very happy with this. I can' afford to buy the expensive foundations every month. This costs me under $7.00 a tube + it last me awhile.

Cover Girl with Olay. Many shades, comes in a compact or a pump.

I use this, the cream version.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I've used this in the past and really liked it. I'm not a fan of full coverage foundations for me because they're just too heavy with my oily to normal skin. But this is good. It's a nice sheer coverage and has Retinol, so added bonus. I think it's very reasonable at around $14 a tube.
