I went to check out Neutrogena Healthy skin spf 30 today.  Online the ivory looked like cool pink...in person it was dark and very yellow. 

I looked up reviews and some said its not the same anymore, leans yellow and it's too dark for porcelain skin.

So any suggestions for a porcelain/fair foundation with spf, and must be cool pink pink toned...please let me know. 

My skin is normal, but like something hydrating, nothing matte either.  I'd prefer drugstore brand, must have spf even though I wear sunscreen...thanks!!

I looked at everything in Walmart today...all i see is yellow, and too dark.

Consider Bare Minerals.  I find their skin tone charts to be very accurate.

@ Dazlin .... I have similar concerns with my coloring. What has worked well for me is RMS Super Radiance 30 spf in light aura, and the Beauty Bioscience spf Skin Perfector (has a slight pink tint). Neither is a true founation, but most "makeup founations" are too pigmented which make them too dark or yellow. Also, RMS Sun Coverup spf 50 runs very light.

@JUDY FL ...I can't find beauty bioscience...comes up slightly different names...bio?...and im not seeing the skin perfector...who sells it?  Does it show shades?

 The RMS in Aura looks nice...but is it very glowy...looks shiny??

Bare Minerals is the only foundation that matches my pink undertones.  Everything else is way too yellow.

do you mean the tinted moisturizer (I use the matte in the lightest shade) or do you mean the powder foundation? I used to use Fair in that.

I think I need a cool tone as well. I'm fair and Coolish toned. I look best in pink blushes.

I only used tinted sunblocks (so a lighter consistency than foundations) with pink finishing powders on top (new find that I love. They give me some rosy color that make me look alive). 

I use MDSolarSciences Mineral tinted creme in SPF 30, or Dr Denese tinted daycream SPF40 mixed with the untinted MDSolarSciences mineral creme spf 50 (to lighten) or Laura Geller Spackle Primer with SPF 30.

I've never found a foundation I like....they are either too yellow or masklike and make me look older. I prefer myself in these tinted sunblocks topped with one of these pink powders: Doll10 Pink Powder, Wet N Wild photofocus soft pink loose powder, or Loreal Infallible Blur-Fection loose powder Med/deep Pink and Light Pink (new find, I love)

@GingerHead ...interesting...new to me , and I've been wanting to look into the pink powders as well.

I recently bought loreal serum spf 50, really nice, but so yellow, lightest shade too.....so maybe one these pink powders will help.  But im running low on my foundations, so im looking.  

I agree about the mask like foundations...I prefer to keep it light and not heavy.  Thank you.

Have you tried Loreal True Match foundation? I've been thinking about trying this.

It's highly rated and has, what they say are cool tones as noted by a letter. C for cool, N for Neutral and W for warm.  Color C0.5 or C1 look like they may work, not sure or even a neutral color.....

From Amazon and is cheap.....May want to look in store though....
