N45 base help?
Hi so this is my first post and I hope I put it in the right place!

First of all I am so glad I have found this place as I don’t know if its just the Me’s in London but you never get real help here unless its super quiet!

So I have been using NC45 in SFF for a few years now combined with either pressed powder or SFP and I have had no trouble with it at all.
Now however it’s looking kinda orange and it’s not oxidation because it looks orange when I put it on, which is weird because it’s an NC so shouldn’t it be more yellow based?

I also use studio finish in nc45 as I have quite bad acne scars/hyperpigmentaion and therefore have to overload to get the flawless finish I am obsessed with! I have oily skin and have recently bought loose blot powder in dark which was a massive mistake as it is too dark for me.

So my question is what should I do?
About 2 years ago I had a similar problem and they gave me NC44 which was too light for me and I had to mix it with a darker foundation till it ran out!

I recently got matched to fresh antelope in Prescriptives which is perfect but a tad too dark and as I have back ups in all of my stuff in my fluid and concealer I am not too keen on just getting a new foundation!

So this is getting quite long now... Um do you think I should just give up?
