So I'm really pale with warm yellow undertones and I think my skin tone is gross. I match my foundation to my skin but it is just not a good look it looks too fake because my skin tone is so weird. Is there a way to not match your foundation to lighten skin's undertone (if that makes sense) I'm so sick of the way foundation looks with my skin tone I just want to fix it.

Basically my natural skin tone is a color similar to when pale foundation oxidizes, so I just look permanently oxidized. Like. Ew.

Are you making sure you are matching your foundation on your neck not your face?

My natural skin tone is close to the color foundation turns when oxidizing, not orange but that darker yellow, I want to mask it and still look natural if that's even possible.
