Help Me Find My Shade??!!

I just started using Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation and it is FABULOUS!! I really love it! It feels so light yet has the perfect amount of coverage, and the finish is a perfect amount of matte (not overwhelming!)

I am fair/light with neutral undertones. For reference I am almost exactly a 2.0 in the Urban Decay Naked Foundation.

In the Covergirl, I can't figure out my shade! And I think the people at CVS are sick of seeing me with exchanges and returns. :) Can someone help me? I currently have shade 810 Classic Ivory and I can't tell if it might be too light. The lighting everywhere in my house is terrible!

Can someone help me? Is Classic Ivory a good match for someone with light skin and yellow undertones? Or should I move up to the Buff Beige? I think I am neutral undertones, because I can't really tell cool/warm (pink/yellow). I'm going to try the Buff Beige :D

Thanks and much love!! XO

When your in the store test the foundation on your chest. I say the chest because its easy to blend your neck and face to match your chest. Since you already know your undertones thats great your half way there, but with some people you may need to mix colors to get your perfect shade. I open them in the isle and swatch lol. I know you shouldn't do that but until they give sample bottles thats what I gotta do in times of desperation lol.
