I love the demonstration and bought the foundation in FAIR.

I am fair in IT CC+ and others, with pale skin.

It came and I love the coverage and application (I have the Doll 10 automatic air brush). However, I noticed in the car mirror that it is YELLOW! My face was totally different (not slightly different) from my neck. Tried it a second day, same thing. Yellow tones. I sadly sent it back.

@1Professor,

I definitely understand! NO surprises here!

Remembering back to many video views, I 'caught' the hurriedly description, in a very scattered across the board remark, but did learn that ( FAIR) had yellow. This had taken over 4 audiovisuals to slightly hear this: ' if complexion has _some pink undertones_, then consider { light }.
I do not put complete faith in vendor's [[ so called ]] `expert INEXPERIENCED babble`!

I had written another post earlier stating that Mac\ cosmetic counter had more knowledgeable foundation guides in sales than anyone else, thus far. I do know that Mac has at least 3 perfect neutrals.

In my opinion, I find TV shopping for foundation shades virtually impossible. That was why I had mentioned Tova's former coloring choices.

If you find a super premo neutral, 1Professor, please do not hesitate in letting me know.
Thank you for your personal experience. I seldom read anything in reference to my • ' NO YELLOW ' • issue.

@1Professor Weird no yellow tones in mine. I have neutral to pink undertones and my skin picks up even the tiniest bit of yellow in foundations and not a single bit in this one-it is one of the few to match me perfectly.

Doris said the fair had neutral tone and for neutral to pink toned ladies and the light was warmer with a bit more yellow undertones so I was happy I got to try the fair as light certainly would have had too much yellow in it based on Doris' description.

even IT's fair foundation looked slightly yellowish on me but was better than their light shade. I never did find a good match with IT foundation.

Hopefully someone here can help me - What is the difference between HydraGel Foundation in the tube, and Hydra Fluid Foundation in what looks like a bottle?

Is one more sheer? Is it heavy? TIA

@riley1 I haven't tried both but a few people who have have posted the differences in the two in a few different threads about this TSV and threads just about this foundation. If I find them I will direct you to them. If I remember correctly, they said this hydrogel one is less thick, at least in consistency, and more of a matte finish than the hydra fluid. I can't remember what was aid, if anything, about the coverage. Hopefully the others will chime in.

I used Bare Skin serum foundation in Bare Shell, Tarte liquid(forget which) but it was very dry and hard to apply being I do have dry skin. I also used 2 from Mally, defender bb(this was nice) and can use either light or light medium in that, also used Mally mousse in a pump can, IT cushion compact liquid foundation in light and the IT CC which was very heavy, felt like a mask on me and stayed very sticky/tacky even though I didn't use much.

So far my picks are this Doll in light but for a drugstore L'Oreal tru match is also very good, lumi for dry skin and original for normal skin. I can use either 2n as well as 3 n in the L'Oreal tru match but so far Doll in light is my favorite although I do really like and use both, so, a toss up I guess.
I have my foundation on at least 12 hours and sometime 14 and this Doll lasts the best and the L'Oreal Tru Match Lumi a very close second as far as lasting goes but like both..

I will say sometimes in very humid weather all I do is my brows, eyes and lips. I really don't need a blush since I do have a very slight rosiness to my cheeks but sometimes with foundation that will cover that, sometimes.

I too need a neutral which is sometimes hard to find. The IT CC had a tad of yellow on me which I don't like at all and the color was just a bit dark but fair would have been too light but since I didn't care for it anyway, not on me, I don't use that.

so right though, so glad there are so many different things for us since we are all so different and need different things to meet requirements we want or need.

I was really not going to chance this Doll TSV but very glad I did now, first kit I ever got that I didn't cancel AD or send the kit back, a first for me.

Glad you found what works for you.

@doglover3,
thank you for a very well defined ( from your experience) description.
" I have read more pros for L'Oreal Tru Match than any other foundations, be that Neutral or its compatibility with different skin preferences".
I jotted in the 2 color shades that you preferred.Neutrals.

I agree: Tarte is more heavy coverage+ yellow. When last in Ulta's last May, the beauty adviser told me there are 8 new shades, one being _neutral_ >>.....for anyone interested.

Do not know if you remembered Tova foundation line, but one of the best of my \ any top 3 I had ever used. Unfortunately ~ discontinued. She has 'new', now, more in competitive marketing with minerals, which I can not use.
I adore the shades and ease of Chanel and Dior, but cannot use; (?something in both that irritates my skin)....... Also, Lancome is a nay for me.

Again, thank you. NAES

I did read somewhere that this newer L'Oreal tru match lumi is a good dupe for both Chanel and Dior but the lumi is best for dry or normal to dry skin but is fantastic for that, very natural and yes, neutral if you get a shade color with n.
I haven't tried the regular L'Oreal tru match that comes in the bottle, not a pump like like lumi, so I can't say how that one is but did read it settles in pores for some with dry skin. This is all I can tell you since I never used the regular L'Oreal Tru Match only the Lumi being I do have dry skin. Both 2n and 3n are good for me.
I would take this over any other foundation I have tried regardless of price other than this Doll 10 (light) I now have anyway, would be a toss up since I really like and use both.
