I am usually a light to medium with neutral undertones and this one is straight yellow/gold. I tried to make it work because I do not have sephora's near me to return but dag on. it's yellow. like I have jaundice or something. also, it's worth noting that I am dry mature skin so dewey/glowy is my jam, I mostly use skin tints, my favorite being tarte maracuja skin tint and for most people that ones too oily and this one, my goodness, this one was unbelievably dewy/oily to the point I needed to bust out a powder and I never ever use powders at all. ...The coverage is light but it’s definitely there still. The undertones in these are really nice as well. This one is my perfect shade

I mixed it 1:1 with a serum primer to make the color lighter - a trick that usually works for other slightly darker foundations, however, this one still looked orange even though it was supposed to work well for cool undertones. ...I’m often scared for cc creams to match my tone or leave me with an ashy white undertone and with this i was able to have SPF coverage and still have my natural glow when i wore just the foundation.
