neutral foundations

Best Foundation...It doesn't oxidize-- maintaining its true color. This foundation is long-wearing as well. I use pebble it has the perfect neutral undertone for light to medium skin tones....I received some samples direct from Jouer and cannot find one out of all the medium shades, they’re all too yellow on me. I’d live a darker neutral or less peach tone shade because I do like the formula.

The shade M55 Neutral matches me perfectly- medium with warm undertones (even though it's labeled as 'neutral'). it's not orangey like most warm undertoned foundations. ...I guess I'm suppose to be matched for the 41 neutral fair porcelain but the store didn't have it.

I have a problem with foundations matching me perfectly because I'm a neutral shade but I am peachy and not yellow and this matches me perfectly! ...true neutral and good coverage...Thank you Fenty!

I wear neutral golden in Bobbi Browns "long wear weightless foundation" formula and chose the same color in this "fluid powder foundation", perfect match. ...This product has an expansive range for a tinted moisturizer.

For reference, I'm an NC5/Makeup Revolution F2/NYX Vanilla Nude/Maybelline Superstay 110/Shiseido Natural Radiant Gobi, so I chose the very lightest warm shade, Flax - which is said to be "warm neutral." I would call it simply neutral, & this shade looked very pink on me. ...The shade meringue is SO yellow! Not warm neutral, just extremely warm. The foundation was a med-full coverage and seemed to wear nice on me on warmer days but after seeing myself in a picture wearing this I couldn't believe how yellow I looked.

Shade-wise I don’t know if this is a true “neutral.” I lean warm since I’m asian, but the 32N —my best match out of the minis— was still a little bit warmer than I’d prefer. ...I have light to medium skin with neutral undertones leaning a little more towards yellow (does that make sense?)
