I think understanding your skin undertones and skin type will help u a lot. also, if you’re buying your makeup from the store (like Ulta), test it out on you to see how it looks like

It’s like the pale girl version of orange for actual tanned people

I always buy in store and I always try to get the workers to match me but after sitting there for 15 minutes they still don’t get it right and I take home makeup that looks ridiculous cuz the color difference is so drastic

Maybe try looking into Korean brands! They tend to have pale shades without being too yellow
