Totally forgot to bring them with me, lol. Why isn't it quoting your text?! Grrrr.
Maybe you should look into a colour correcting primer to correct the redness so then you can find your true shade. I have some discolouration around my mouth and when it's really bad, foundations that match me look horrible in that area unless I use the corrector.Inside, NW10 looks almost too fair on me, but when I look in my car mirror it looks too dark! My arms are more tan than the rest of me and I feel like it's making what should be decent matches look too fair on me though I'm starting to think I lean neutral but I'm honestly not really sure. I have a LOT of redness in my face and I think it is masking my real undertone. I've been considering picking up L'oreal True Match in W1 just to see how a more yellow toned foundation looks on me. I've tried two that leaned super pink and they looked AWFUL on me.

I know what you mean about the car mirror thing! Honestly, I just chalk that up to bad lighting. Most of my foundations look like that in the car mirror except MUFE Ultra HD Y205. My cheeks, around my nose, and chin are usually red. I haven't found a color correcting primer that I've liked. I've tried MUFE's new one (the green) and it doesn't really do anything and also isn't the best base I've tried. Super pink foundations always look hilariously awful on me. I always try to explain this to SAs when they're like "you're cool toned!!" and hand me a super pink foundation. The tops of my arms are super pink and fair. Though my neck and chest and inside forearms are much more neutral... as weird as that sounds. Let me know if you try the W1!!

Anyway enough babbling
Thought I'd chime in and post a picture too (not the best lighting, oh well)
Looks good, Nat. I'm skipping the lipstick, seeing that I have Strange Journey. Everyone who has purchased VGMC2 have just smashed itLiterally swore I wasn't going to get these... but I love these two from her especially the lipstick, it is identical to Lady Danger but it's a lot creamier on me then LD! I love the gloss on its own but over the lipstick? Nah it's awful so I haven't taken a picture of that combo!
Aww thank you hunny!! Literally forgot I have strange journey haha I'm gonna swatch them together later and see how similar they are... I'll post a picture as well if anyone wants to see that xxLooks good, Nat. I'm skipping the lipstick, seeing that I have Strange Journey. Everyone who has purchased VGMC2 have just smashed it

Beautiful!
Thanks Nat for justifying my skipHere are the lip swatches comparing to Miley Cyrus guys... they're all mac lipsticks! I do see differences in person but it doesn't seem similar to Strange Journey to me The closest I'd say would be Lady Danger but in person it is a little brighter and more orange where as the Miley you can see the more of af red tone as well as some orange going through it... well that's my thoughts anyway ha!! hope this has helped! For refrence im a NC15 so it's swatched on my paleness haha.
This looks lovely on you.
I second that!!!!!Thanks Nat for justifying my skip
Thanks for making this an easy decision for me.
This shade looks lovely on you.
Gorgeous!!!
