Shade 3 is very pink and shade 4 is very yellow against my light-medium neutral olive skin tone. This is not my first concealer and usually I can find more neutral , less saturated undertones but these seem to have very strong undertones which is hard to get away with if you are neutral olive....I paid my own money for this. I’m neutral cool, fair skinned Jewish. I wear shade 1 and I use a few dots all over as foundation and light concealer.

Pretty solid stick foundation!...I typically wear a neutral in foundations, but this neutral had slightly more yellow in it than neutral shades usually have. ...Unfortunately the neutral shade I chose is extremely dark compared to other foundations that are labeled as neutral I definitely would have gone a whole lot lighter if I was aware of that before hand but either way I love it as even just a bronzer!

more neutral than cool...I really didn’t get a chance to experience how it wears- “neutral-cool” is more neutral than cool and it’s too warm for me, it wasn’t a shade match at all. ...Like with all Merit face products, I had an impossible time with a color match.

“First foundation I have bought that gives me confidence. It makes my skin look flawless without caking”
Beige Foundation
“I like to use tinted moisturizers and serums as a lightweight alternative to other foundations and CC creams, but I found this to be too heavy for my preferkxe”
Yellow Foundations
“Miss Myricks I owe you my life, if there was a tinted version for us pale girlies that lean more cool it would be all I could ever ask for. Most foundations lean way too orange or yellow on me and unfortunately that is the case for the lightest tinted shade”
Foundation for Cool Undertones
“I really like this one because it works well on my dry skin. I also like the undertones in it. I picked one with neutral undertone so it covers up my redness”
Foundations For Pale Skin
“It’s definitely more light coverage than medium (which I knew going in and wanted) and I mainly bought this for a foundation with Hyaluronic acid in it. Colour match is good for someone very pale, definitely not a long wear foundation, I notice creasing a couple hours in smile lines and near the eyes”
Foundation For Olive Undertones
“Im Asian mixed and i have an extremely difficult time trying to find a light olive, neutral olive. I also have texture, large pores, and hyperpigmentation, and my skin is oily”
Foundation for Pink Undertones
