People automatically pointing you to the darkest shade just because you’re dark is so annoying lmao. I did a foundation collection on my channel and I was just saying this. I bought the Lancôme foundation in a shade too dark for me because I listened to the white lady at the counter who was adamant that I was the darkest shade. And nearly $50 later, I can’t wear it because I look dead
I feel your pain. I no longer trust anyone with my color matching. If they cant swatch me with the ones I like and give me a hand mirror so I can walk outside and check it, I'm not spending a penny with them. The Lancome ladies are always super patient with me. Return/exchange that too dark shade. Lancome is great about returns.
Omg that happened to me in Sephora. Lol. She shaded me to the last color with NARS. I’m happy I got a 2nd and 3rd opinion lol. It was literally three shades too dark
Amoafoa I've had a black makeup worker set me up also and even now it's like 2 years later I'm not sure if she was doing it on purpose or not. I'm like a 1/2 shade lighter than Jackie Aina and a darker-skinned girl that worked in Sephora tried to match me with the shade that was 3 shades darker than I am. It was some Giorgio Armani Foundation I can't remember exactly which one. I don't trust anyone of any color any more matching me LOL.
Amoafoa actually now that I'm thinking about it I had a brown skin Hispanic girl in a Sephora also try to give me very bad advice about the Fenty Foundation. She trying to tell me before I even got swatching that I was 430 but it turns out I'm 400 or 410 LOL. Almost suppressed that bad memory.
This idea is actually super creative. Spiced Rum is a pretty decent match after a full face maybe. Whoever told you that Walnut was you're shade is a liar and needs to be ashamed of themselves.
Spiced Rum seems like it could be finessed, maybe a winter shade. D70 is a really good match. I hollered at NYX Walnut. I would like to see another one of these in the future.
I think Walnut is actually a great match in terms of undertone - I think most foundations look too red/orange on you, but if you mixed that one with a too light one, it might be a perfect match.
I think people need to understand that on camera, because of all the lights and stuff, that your neck/chest color is actually darker than in person. So while in a video, it may not look like it matches on camera, it matches in real life.
I love this idea and would like to see more of it. Its not an idea I have seen other gurus do (granted, outside of your channel, I only watch Jackie Aina, Alissa Ashley, Nyma Tang, Nikkitutorials, and Makeupshayla) but it's refreshing none the less. I don't know if you heard about this website before but it's called findation and if you put what shades matches you in certain foundations or concealers, it shows the closest match to that shade in other brands. A bit of a forewarning, sometimes specific brands are glitched and will give you a shade range on the opposite side of the spectrum.
Yeah I’ve def used findation! It’s just hard to use when some foundations first launch and it hasn’t updated yet or I do a video on a foundation before it’s announced.
Spiced rum definitely looks like a winter shade. It's workable, but perfect for winter. I'm kind of mad for you that people said your shade was walnut 😅
i think spiced rum appears to be off by a TINY bit!! i tend to wear the same shades as you in foundations so i always use your videos for reference on products i want to try. I was planning on buying the born this way foundation before i move back to school so im gonna wait a few months for my skin tone to change because now i think spiced rum will probably be my match come winter time! :)
Sephora picked spiced rum for me too! Some of the shade recommendations people give you be so off its like you doing blackface on an already dark face smh
That walnut shade had you looking like you was wearing “blackface” 😂😂😂Naw, those folks who said that was your shade are BLIND! As someone who is about your shade, I KNEW they were wrong!😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Spiced rum is a very very close match. We got some good matches today girl!! I thought the Nyx foundation you picked and used was perfect for you. Whoever said Walnut needs to be slapped it looks like you have a mask on!!
That look on your face at the beauty bakery shade lol we had the same look. I use you as a shade range and I thought I was spiced rum also but it just a little light for this summer tan.
I LOVE this video! It shows all your previous and current picks, and you've shown us the dimensions of your complexion! I think (well, I only think) you are a golden undertone, but with a bit of olive/neutral tones as well, because too many of the ones you've tried tend to generally have red undertones, which is alright for warm red undertone black/poc. Spiced Rum by Too Faced definitely almost got it and looked good!
This vid has showed me that 1. most foundations tend to run red on you whereas you’re a neutral golden. there was one foundation in walnut that was the right undertone but too dark. I think that shade matches the perimeter of your face but you need something more golden for the center. So 2. You have different tones in your face. Of course you don’t need to go out and buy 2 foundations every time but I feel that a makeup artist would probably use two shades on you to complement your tones. The good thing is that with concealer you can always do the necessary balancing. That was an informative video!
I liked the spiced rum on you. I like this concept. I run into the same problem where ppl automatically assume I should use the darkest shade. People like to match to deeper tones discoloration.
This might be my favourite video from you! I feel like *every* foundation I wear isn't really my shade, so I end up taking it off before leaving the house. Also, that final oompa loompa shade was too much!
Yeah we are usually shade twins and I use Shade 13 in Beauty Bakerie. I do have a neutral undertone. If your undertone is different make sure you try something that is a correct match. Shade 11 is a cool toned foundation so I wouldn't have even bothered with that one.
Spiced rum can be a winter shade. I use you as a reference because we are around the same tone. I bought beauty Bakerie in shade 7 and 9 because 5 looked way too dark for me and I’m not sure 11 or 13 😭😭😭. Walnut only somewhat matched your neck tone but you can obviously tell it wasn’t your shade. I think the covergirl one matched the best
Girl you ain't no walnut! Whoever told you that needs to square tf up lmaoooo. But lowkey highkey lol, I used to think you were a lot darker than me, but the more I've watched you, the more I realize you're like only half a shade down from me, if that much, and are actually one of my shade references. In the NYX range, the darkest I would say you should go to would be the shade down from Cocoa, but like I said in the original video you did, Cocoa looks so good on you that it wouldn't be necessary. Also, I was back and forth between whether I'd be spiced rum or tiramisu. I could probably finesse both, like you, but I feel like spiced rum is a better match, which is what I was thinking all along. You should def do more of these kinds of videos
Yes, please do more of these. And to those persons who said you should wear walnut and insist you are walnut, please point them to the closest Lens Crafters cause they clearly need help lol. I am on the fence with Spiced Rum simply because that's what Cousin Jackie is using right now since she got a tan but you are still a tad darker than she is.
I think Spiced Rum is YOU Sis! Looks great! D70 is YOU too! Walnut is too olive, Cocoa looked better. No. 7 was too red, 11 is much better. Thanks for the comparisons it helped me a lot!
It seems like you could go a bit deeper than spiced rum. Although it might be a good fall to winter shade since the summer will make the complexion go through some things
I think the reason there are so many opinions is because people match their shade to different parts. Some match the perimeter of their face. Some match the middle. Some match the neck and some match the chest. So when they are looking at your they are seeing it through their match preference. Take Jackie once she basically made a PSA that she matches her chest people no longer attempt to correct her color choices. I make myself a bit darker because I may l match the perimeter of my face and I'm tan or medium. Right now 15.7 (warm caramel) in the new NYX foundation. Continue to match how you want and no longer address it
I think the camera and if people use lights can effect the way some foundations look. I like watching your videos cuz finding the right foundation for darker skin tones is difficult. I think my problem have been lately is finding undertones that compliment each other. Sometimes I feel that my foundation undertone clashes with my concealer undertone, then depending on the color of my setting powder can throw off my look. Idk if anybody else have these issues. I actually thought about writing down my routine each time to see what products work best with each other.
Walnut...NYX...Absolutely not! And the last one...looked painful. Spiced Rum was ok...once you do full face it seems like it would work. Thank you for this video. I'm about your complexion with a little different undertone so I do use your videos as a guide to matching my own foundation.
NYX Walnut is too DAMN Dark. Folks don't know that they talk about. OMG. The plight of a Dark skin woman to find her foundation. Geez. I know. I own about 12 of them. I think you know what ur doing by now. I Do Love these videos, ur helping us all so Much. Keep em coming Girl. Thank U
I know you're so excited to read my opinion 😂, so lemme not disappoint: 1.Spiced rum... I don't know about that one... 2.The D70 was actually a really good match, not sure about how the product wears 3. Coco- is all you, and looks amazing, but Walnut???? I had someone at MAC do me dirty like that once.. I call the look mudbound 4. Beauty Bakerie... it looked like terracotta clay makeup from the Egyptian pharaohs Amazing video idea... really sharp. But I still think you are a golden undertone LOL 😆😆😆♥️♥️♥️
Spiced Rum is great in the BTW foundation but I think Tiramisu is even better, and I think I was one of the people that said you could wear d70 in the Covergirl trublend matte made by itself and it looks great.
My shade is Spiced Rum and it matches me perfectly. My undertone is red with a touch oh golden. It looks like if you found a shade with more yellow but with a touch red it would be perfect. You can pull off both tho. Doesn't look too bad.
Spiced rum looked great on you! I wear tiramisu, which kind of surprised me because I feel like I’m lighter than you just a tiny bit. I didnt get spiced rum because I was scared it would be too orange/red/peachy
I think the problem is with some ppl thinking walnut was too dark, people are trying to match your face to your neck/chest? Which appears darker on screen. But your face is a lighter shade than your neck, which is why I thought personally spiced rum and D70 looked much better.
Spiced rum looked great on u. I had the same problem with Tiramisu I thought it would be the right shade but the undertone was too golden I now have sable but it’s a tad bit too dark but I lighten it up with concealer.. I think I am going try spiced rum
Shade 11 in Beauty Bakerie foundation....I am around your complexion and I think it would be a better match than 9. I need to try 11. 7 is a little too dark on me.
I think Spiced Rum matches pretty well! In the winter I think it’s gonna be perfect. And girl wtf Walnut reminds me of when you got someone who doesn’t wear makeup to choose your makeup it looks so terribly dark lol Cocoa was a much better match
Walnut is WAY toooooooo dark. People TRIED IT! I cannot. Cocoa was way better. I wear spiced rum right now (it’s a hair too deep for the center of my face but matches the perimeter) and will probably need chai in the winter (chai is perfect for the center of my face). We’ve never been a shade match but maybe I got super tan this year and you haven’t been in the sun much? I say that spiced rum will be perfect for you in winter. Especially if you’re concealing and whatnot. I wear 17 in beauty Bakerie. That 11 on you was red af. Chiiiiile, people be coming for you with the shades.
People don't realize d70 covergirl oxidized about two shades. When swatches by colourpop concealer rich 75 (this is the old number system) they are very similar.
Ok so Sephora matched me with the same shade I was nervous to try it was going to go with Tiramisu but it was sold out when I went, but now maybe I will go with Sephora's pick and trust them this time haha. I also use that same CoverGirl shade, see and this is why I use you as a shade reference :) . Now I have to try this NYX foundation the finish looks amazing!!
the first one (born this way) was slightly lighter than your skintone. like just after summer. but it would probably blend out well once u do a full face.
Of the Too Faced shades, I liked Cocoa best. I'd be interested in seeing how Deep Cool in the NYX foundation looks on you. I'm wavering between that and Cocoa but afraid the latter might look a bit red on me.
OK so I bought spiced rum because I thought Chai was to light and girl I look like I'm doing black face. I'm disrespecting tf out that beautiful ass tone. It looks BOMB on you!! Spiced rum for the win!
I love the fact that you did this video because many black Women wear the wrong foundation shade either to light or to dark.Also the undertone for black Women needs to be taken into consideration.
We use the same shades in other foundations and spiced rum works the best so it should be your color! Covergirl D70 is also my color! And the Beauty Bakerie #13 is my color.
Sandia Marcellon I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get both. According to their chart I'm #9 which is finally back in stock. True neutral look elephant grey on me. I think the combo of #9 and 13 may work
Lmao they are always trying to play you sis. You do a good job at shade matching yourself after all these foundation hunts I don’t know why they won’t left you live. Anyways great video as always!
I love this idea!!! People act like they can tell you what shade you are when judging on camera with lights and thangs. Unless you're using natural lighting, nothing looks exact on camera, and even then depending on the settings of the camera, things can looks different color wise. Anywho, I know for me, I could made about the different shades work in the born this way. Sephora matched me to Chai but it was way too orange on me. Went up to Chestnut, undertone was ok but was a little dark and still too orange. Went up to Maple, looked really nice but was Neutral in undertone. I have really golden/olive undertones. And the shade was Great for this summer. Tried Mocha and the undertone was too pink. Then Butter Pecan became available. Perfection!!!! It's really yellow though and to me, it seems the formula on that one is dryer than the formula on Maple. I know it's supposed to be the same but it didn't respond the same on my skin. So I'm probably gonna wear Maple this summer and Butter Pecan in winter or mix them. 🤷♀️
Nope to walnut I use you as a foundation reference. Yeah once companies started making more color choices everyone always recommends the darkest color for me... Smh ppl come darker then me
I think the suggestion with Walnut might have been because on camera it looks like it kind of matches your chest better (to those people), but in person matters more and I think on your face it looks off for sure on camera. I'm sure you picked a better color for yourself with that one. The others, I don't really know with a lot of them XD
NYX is a perfect match👍! The spice rum may be better during the fall) winter season🤷. OMG the beauty bakery foundation was too red🛑 🤣😂🤣 just throw that one away 🚮 !!!😂🤣😂
Its difficult to say since this isn't natural lighting but none of them looked right to me. That NYX looked super olive toned to me and it dried down strangely in a few spots but the Beauty Bakerie was my fave because it made me laugh. Whoever told you that was your match should be embarrassed. lol.
Ok so this is that I think. When you swatched walnut in your chest.... initially it looked like it would be your shade. But when it dried down thouuuuuuu it was NOT. cocoa was and is your shade for sure looking at the swatches on your chest. Yes I went back and forth on that video to make sure I got the correct color lol. I think this is an interesting video for sure. The way walnut looked on you is how estee lauder truffle and kvd 78 neutral looks like on me. Mud MUD MUD.
Maybe instead of doing your whole face and getting it irritated, just the forehead could be enough? Also, maybe compare it to a foundation that actually matches you in a way you like so we can see the difference, like half forehead the match the other half blended foundation shade that doesnMt match. Anyway, that NYX one had a good undertone for you it looks like, but yeah way too dark. This video idea is awesome, I hope to have more updates on other foundations shades later :P
The Born this way looked kind of ok. Imo it gave a bit of a gray cast. The Covergirl looked perfect. The NYX I was like hell naw sis it's waaay too dark! It made your face look dirty/muddy. 😩 The Beauty Bakerie...Lawd that had you straight orange.
People automatically pointing you to the darkest shade just because you’re dark is so annoying lmao. I did a foundation collection on my channel and I was just saying this. I bought the Lancôme foundation in a shade too dark for me because I listened to the white lady at the counter who was adamant that I was the darkest shade. And nearly $50 later, I can’t wear it because I look dead
It’s so irritating 🙄
I feel your pain. I no longer trust anyone with my color matching. If they cant swatch me with the ones I like and give me a hand mirror so I can walk outside and check it, I'm not spending a penny with them. The Lancome ladies are always super patient with me. Return/exchange that too dark shade. Lancome is great about returns.
Omg that happened to me in Sephora. Lol. She shaded me to the last color with NARS. I’m happy I got a 2nd and 3rd opinion lol. It was literally three shades too dark
Amoafoa I've had a black makeup worker set me up also and even now it's like 2 years later I'm not sure if she was doing it on purpose or not. I'm like a 1/2 shade lighter than Jackie Aina and a darker-skinned girl that worked in Sephora tried to match me with the shade that was 3 shades darker than I am. It was some Giorgio Armani Foundation I can't remember exactly which one. I don't trust anyone of any color any more matching me LOL.
Amoafoa actually now that I'm thinking about it I had a brown skin Hispanic girl in a Sephora also try to give me very bad advice about the Fenty Foundation. She trying to tell me before I even got swatching that I was 430 but it turns out I'm 400 or 410 LOL. Almost suppressed that bad memory.
This idea is actually super creative. Spiced Rum is a pretty decent match after a full face maybe. Whoever told you that Walnut was you're shade is a liar and needs to be ashamed of themselves.
The Messy Natural yeah walnut looked worse
You’re so petty 😂😂 I love it lol
They need to be put on probation from this station for a while.
What do you think about Walnuts undertone? I thought the shade was too dark, but I think the undertone matched your chest bang on.
Lord have mercy no! That Walnut was a fail. The NYX shade you originally chose matches you very well.
Girl they tripping. You picked the right nyx shade the first time. Also spice rum looks good on you.
Lol thanks love 💕
Spiced rum matches pretty well I feel, but it might work as a winter shade since you said you're tanner right now.
Agree :)
Spiced Rum seems like it could be finessed, maybe a winter shade. D70 is a really good match. I hollered at NYX Walnut.
I would like to see another one of these in the future.
Agreed lol and I’ll def do it again.
WHO IS OUT HERE THINKING WALNUT IS YOUR SHADE? You looked like that time Beyonce did Blackface.
😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
😂😂😂😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Sadiqa Bramlette omg
Sis whoever said Walnut was trying to have you as "blackface". 🙃
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
SenpaiNextDoor Exactly!!!
Why do people like to play others. I’m currently giving Walnut the gotdamn side eye 👁.
Lol cause they’re petty
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think Walnut is actually a great match in terms of undertone - I think most foundations look too red/orange on you, but if you mixed that one with a too light one, it might be a perfect match.
They played you saying walnut was your shade 😩😂😂 cocoa was a spot on match
Exactly 🙌🏾
I think people need to understand that on camera, because of all the lights and stuff, that your neck/chest color is actually darker than in person. So while in a video, it may not look like it matches on camera, it matches in real life.
THANK YOU!! lol
I love this idea and would like to see more of it. Its not an idea I have seen other gurus do (granted, outside of your channel, I only watch Jackie Aina, Alissa Ashley, Nyma Tang, Nikkitutorials, and Makeupshayla) but it's refreshing none the less.
I don't know if you heard about this website before but it's called findation and if you put what shades matches you in certain foundations or concealers, it shows the closest match to that shade in other brands. A bit of a forewarning, sometimes specific brands are glitched and will give you a shade range on the opposite side of the spectrum.
Yeah I’ve def used findation! It’s just hard to use when some foundations first launch and it hasn’t updated yet or I do a video on a foundation before it’s announced.
Jacara Jenkins we watch the same peeps 👀😀
Spiced rum definitely looks like a winter shade. It's workable, but perfect for winter. I'm kind of mad for you that people said your shade was walnut 😅
Lol 😂
i think spiced rum appears to be off by a TINY bit!! i tend to wear the same shades as you in foundations so i always use your videos for reference on products i want to try. I was planning on buying the born this way foundation before i move back to school so im gonna wait a few months for my skin tone to change because now i think spiced rum will probably be my match come winter time! :)
I’ll try it again then so we’ll see 👀😊
Sephora picked spiced rum for me too! Some of the shade recommendations people give you be so off its like you doing blackface on an already dark face smh
I didn’t think that was possible until I started wearing makeup lol
That walnut shade had you looking like you was wearing “blackface” 😂😂😂Naw, those folks who said that was your shade are BLIND! As someone who is about your shade, I KNEW they were wrong!😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lol 😂 ❤️❤️❤️
Spiced rum would work as a winter shade! Definitely the right tone for you
Spiced rum is a very very close match. We got some good matches today girl!! I thought the Nyx foundation you picked and used was perfect for you. Whoever said Walnut needs to be slapped it looks like you have a mask on!!
The black opal foundation fiasco was still the funniest foundation situation I’ve seen on your channel
Lol I don’t think anything will ever top 😂
I laughed until my sides hurt on that one 😂
Woo chile she did NOT hold back with that Beauty Baekerie foundation 😂😭😂😭 it came dried down in the bottle
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂
That look on your face at the beauty bakery shade lol we had the same look. I use you as a shade range and I thought I was spiced rum also but it just a little light for this summer tan.
Lol yeah maybe more of a winter shade
You are a champ for going through all of those swatches. Most of them looked red and just off on your skin.
Spiced Rum is a really good match to be honest
Suzie Q imo i think it looks a little bit off kinda orange.
Well try it again in the winter and give it a final chance lol
I need to see a really drop dead gorgeous makeup look from you..."my best makeup" 😍
I watch your channel because of your honesty..i will not buy a foundation unless u reviewed it..love ya keep up the good work
I LOVE this video! It shows all your previous and current picks, and you've shown us the dimensions of your complexion! I think (well, I only think) you are a golden undertone, but with a bit of olive/neutral tones as well, because too many of the ones you've tried tend to generally have red undertones, which is alright for warm red undertone black/poc.
Spiced Rum by Too Faced definitely almost got it and looked good!
This vid has showed me that 1. most foundations tend to run red on you whereas you’re a neutral golden. there was one foundation in walnut that was the right undertone but too dark. I think that shade matches the perimeter of your face but you need something more golden for the center. So 2. You have different tones in your face.

I liked the spiced rum on you. I like this concept. I run into the same problem where ppl automatically assume I should use the darkest shade. People like to match to deeper tones discoloration.
The BTW matches the center of your face. Most makeup artists say that dark complexions should use 2 foundations. I think it looks great on you.

Spice rum looked great! Especially after a full face I went a shade lighter because I noticed it dried down darker.
I just want your channel to blow UP more so bad I love your videos
Lol me too fam me too 😂
maeve conner me too 👍
Spiced rum can be a winter shade. I use you as a reference because we are around the same tone. I bought beauty Bakerie in shade 7 and 9 because 5 looked way too dark for me and I’m not sure 11 or 13 😭😭😭. Walnut only somewhat matched your neck tone but you can obviously tell it wasn’t your shade. I think the covergirl one matched the best

Yes, please do more of these.
And to those persons who said you should wear walnut and insist you are walnut, please point them to the closest Lens Crafters cause they clearly need help lol. I am on the fence with Spiced Rum simply because that's what Cousin Jackie is using right now since she got a tan but you are still a tad darker than she is.
I think Spiced Rum is YOU Sis! Looks great! D70 is YOU too! Walnut is too olive, Cocoa looked better. No. 7 was too red, 11 is much better. Thanks for the comparisons it helped me a lot!
It seems like you could go a bit deeper than spiced rum. Although it might be a good fall to winter shade since the summer will make the complexion go through some things
I think the reason there are so many opinions is because people match their shade to different parts. Some match the perimeter of their face. Some match the middle.

Take Jackie once she basically made a PSA that she matches her chest people no longer attempt to correct her color choices.
I make myself a bit darker because I may l match the perimeter of my face and I'm tan or medium. Right now 15.7 (warm caramel) in the new NYX foundation. Continue to match how you want and no longer address it
I’d love to see you try those adjuster drops that warm up, cool down, and adjust depth on these. Maybe it would salvage some of it. 🤷🏽♀️
Sometimes I can't see how others can tell you what your shade is.. I can barely figure out my own damn shades and undertones lol
Lol everybody’s an expert on yt
Willena Crawford amen
I think the camera and if people use lights can effect the way some foundations look. I like watching your videos cuz finding the right foundation for darker skin tones is difficult.

I know you're so excited to read my opinion 😂, so lemme not disappoint:
1.Spiced rum... I don't know about that one...
2.The D70 was actually a really good match, not sure about how the product wears
3. Coco- is all you, and looks amazing, but Walnut???? I had someone at MAC do me dirty like that once.. I call the look mudbound
4. Beauty Bakerie... it looked like terracotta clay makeup from the Egyptian pharaohs
Amazing video idea... really sharp. But I still think you are a golden undertone LOL 😆😆😆♥️♥️♥️
Spiced Rum is great in the BTW foundation but I think Tiramisu is even better, and I think I was one of the people that said you could wear d70 in the Covergirl trublend matte made by itself and it looks great.
They tried it with Walnut. The original shade you picked was perfect
I feel you on that Born this Way foundation. I got the same shade and it just didn’t seem right for me.
My shade is Spiced Rum and it matches me perfectly. My undertone is red with a touch oh golden. It looks like if you found a shade with more yellow but with a touch red it would be perfect. You can pull off both tho. Doesn't look too bad.
Spiced rum looked great on you! I wear tiramisu, which kind of surprised me because I feel like I’m lighter than you just a tiny bit. I didnt get spiced rum because I was scared it would be too orange/red/peachy
Also D70 is my shade in covergirl as well
Spiced rum looks good the previous 2faced seemed a bit neutral. Great vid!
Spiced rum is what sephora shade matches me to as well. You are a foundation match to me, so I love these videos you do.😊
I think the problem is with some ppl thinking walnut was too dark, people are trying to match your face to your neck/chest? Which appears darker on screen. But your face is a lighter shade than your neck, which is why I thought personally spiced rum and D70 looked much better.
Spiced rum looked great on u. I had the same problem with Tiramisu I thought it would be the right shade but the undertone was too golden I now have sable but it’s a tad bit too dark but I lighten it up with concealer.. I think I am going try spiced rum
The clarity of that camera 😍
Shade 11 in Beauty Bakerie foundation....I am around your complexion and I think it would be a better match than 9. I need to try 11. 7 is a little too dark on me.
The walnut shade matches perfectly with your neck tho to me
I think Spiced Rum matches pretty well! In the winter I think it’s gonna be perfect. And girl wtf Walnut reminds me of when you got someone who doesn’t wear makeup to choose your makeup it looks so terribly dark lol Cocoa was a much better match
Lol that’s exactly what I look like 😩😂😂
Walnut is WAY toooooooo dark. People TRIED IT! I cannot. Cocoa was way better. I wear spiced rum right now (it’s a hair too deep for the center of my face but matches the perimeter) and will probably need chai in the winter (chai is perfect for the center of my face). We’ve never been a shade match but maybe I got super tan this year and you haven’t been in the sun much? I say that spiced rum will be perfect for you in winter. Especially if you’re concealing and whatnot. I wear 17 in beauty Bakerie. That 11 on you was red af. Chiiiiile, people be coming for you with the shades.
People don't realize d70 covergirl oxidized about two shades. When swatches by colourpop concealer rich 75 (this is the old number system) they are very similar.
Ok so Sephora matched me with the same shade I was nervous to try it was going to go with Tiramisu but it was sold out when I went, but now maybe I will go with Sephora's pick and trust them this time haha. I also use that same CoverGirl shade, see and this is why I use you as a shade reference :) . Now I have to try this NYX foundation the finish looks amazing!!
Lol I’m here to help
the first one (born this way) was slightly lighter than your skintone. like just after summer. but it would probably blend out well once u do a full face.
Walnut in the NYX could work if you highlight with the appropriate yellow toned concealer however it is to dark and muddy on you (yuck)
Of the Too Faced shades, I liked Cocoa best.
I'd be interested in seeing how Deep Cool in the NYX foundation looks on you. I'm wavering between that and Cocoa but afraid the latter might look a bit red on me.
Should've waited to order 😫 I went for Cocoa lol.
Guess an exchange might be in my future!
OK so I bought spiced rum because I thought Chai was to light and girl I look like I'm doing black face. I'm disrespecting tf out that beautiful ass tone. It looks BOMB on you!! Spiced rum for the win!
I love the fact that you did this video because many black Women wear the wrong foundation shade either to light or to dark.Also the undertone for black Women needs to be taken into consideration.
We use the same shades in other foundations and spiced rum works the best so it should be your color! Covergirl D70 is also my color! And the Beauty Bakerie #13 is my color.
Now I wanna try 13 lol I hope I still have it 👀
Have either of you tried #9. I can't really find many reviews of that shade and I usually wear the same shades as her too
Teemgee No I haven’t #13 is perfect for me it’s little bit more neutral than orange!
Sandia Marcellon I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get both. According to their chart I'm #9 which is finally back in stock. True neutral look elephant grey on me. I think the combo of #9 and 13 may work
Teemgee I understand!
I'm glad you did this video! I definitely use you as a shade reference and for some of these I was like *that aint it honey*
That walnut was a terrible suggestion 😂😂😂. When you swatched a side off I gasped 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao they are always trying to play you sis. You do a good job at shade matching yourself after all these foundation hunts I don’t know why they won’t left you live. Anyways great video as always!
I love this idea!!! People act like they can tell you what shade you are when judging on camera with lights and thangs. Unless you're using natural lighting, nothing looks exact on camera, and even then depending on the settings of the camera, things can looks different color wise. Anywho, I know for me, I could made about the different shades work in the born this way. Sephora matched me to Chai but it was way too orange on me. Went up to Chestnut, undertone was ok but was a little dark and still too orange. Went up to Maple, looked really nice but was Neutral in undertone. I have really golden/olive undertones. And the shade was Great for this summer. Tried Mocha and the undertone was too pink. Then Butter Pecan became available. Perfection!!!! It's really yellow though and to me, it seems the formula on that one is dryer than the formula on Maple. I know it's supposed to be the same but it didn't respond the same on my skin. So I'm probably gonna wear Maple this summer and Butter Pecan in winter or mix them. 🤷♀️
I loved this video!! Definitely keep this as series on your channel ♥️
the covergirl one looked really nice!
the spiced rum looks ok ish but its pulling a little yellow/golden still you need something more neutral
Spiced rum would 100% be a winter shade for you, it's got the right undertones at least.
Nope to walnut I use you as a foundation reference. Yeah once companies started making more color choices everyone always recommends the darkest color for me... Smh ppl come darker then me
EXACTLY!!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I think the suggestion with Walnut might have been because on camera it looks like it kind of matches your chest better (to those people), but in person matters more and I think on your face it looks off for sure on camera. I'm sure you picked a better color for yourself with that one. The others, I don't really know with a lot of them XD
NYX is a perfect match👍! The spice rum may be better during the fall) winter season🤷. OMG the beauty bakery foundation was too red🛑 🤣😂🤣 just throw that one away 🚮 !!!😂🤣😂
Lol totally agree ❤️❤️
I agree. I think nyx is one of the better matches to her neck. But the other nyx shade cocoa? Is also a good match but a bit too red.
Spiced Rum is definitely your shade 👍🏾 Walnut 😂😂😂 definitely a NO!!!!!
#11 had you looking ridiculously orange 🍊
Spiced Rum can definitely work in the winter
THANK YOU SO MUCH I've been trying to figure out if I should try the beauty bakerie and my undertones are the same as yours
This video is so interesting, love the idea. Would love to see this with powder foundations.
I really liked spiced rum on you.
I think it might be my winter shade.
Thanks for subjecting your face to this for us ! 🙏🏾
I legitimately cackled when you came back with Walnut on your face. 😂🤦🏾♀️
I think Spiced Rum works for you. Makes you look nice and warm
Its difficult to say since this isn't natural lighting but none of them looked right to me. That NYX looked super olive toned to me and it dried down strangely in a few spots but the Beauty Bakerie was my fave because it made me laugh. Whoever told you that was your match should be embarrassed. lol.
I very much enjoyed this and would love to see you do more.
Wowzer! We have the same shade in the BTW foundation. I thought I was 11 in Beauty Bakery, Lord! I almost ordered it! Thank you for saving my life 😂😂😂
I.q reader is pretty accurate all my shades match me pretty well I wear 350 I’m Fenty and t90 in cover girl true blend
Cocoa look really good NYX!
Spiced rum is the right Undertone but not the right depth. I agree that it might look a little light when you highlight
Ok so this is that I think. When you swatched walnut in your chest.... initially it looked like it would be your shade. But when it dried down thouuuuuuu it was NOT. cocoa was and is your shade for sure looking at the swatches on your chest. Yes I went back and forth on that video to make sure I got the correct color lol. I think this is an interesting video for sure. The way walnut looked on you is how estee lauder truffle and kvd 78 neutral looks like on me. Mud MUD MUD.
Maybe instead of doing your whole face and getting it irritated, just the forehead could be enough? Also, maybe compare it to a foundation that actually matches you in a way you like so we can see the difference, like half forehead the match the other half blended foundation shade that doesnMt match. Anyway, that NYX one had a good undertone for you it looks like, but yeah way too dark. This video idea is awesome, I hope to have more updates on other foundations shades later :P
You sure will! And thanks for the suggestions :)
GIRL THIS IS MY LIFE!!
damn that last one looks like a sunburn
You win comment of the day 😂😩😩😩😩
honest;y there needs to be more olive undertones, my sister can never find a good match
She looked like the 😡 emoji 😂
The Born this way looked kind of ok. Imo it gave a bit of a gray cast. The Covergirl looked perfect. The NYX I was like hell naw sis it's waaay too dark! It made your face look dirty/muddy. 😩 The Beauty Bakerie...Lawd that had you straight orange.
Spiced Rum is a pretty perfect match.
Spiced Rum looks like it would be your winter shade
The spice rum looks better on you then the other one.
