What's my skin tone?

I can't seem to find the color of my skin as it's not tan but not light too.

This is my natural skin a natural light.
Can you tell me what is it please so I can find the right foundation shades?

I'd go for an NC 40 because you are a tiny bit darker than me with a tan (nc 35 -37)!
Your best option is to get matched at a counter or go on findation.com and enter one concealer or foundation that blended in just right for you!

^ What Charli said.
To me it doesn't really matter what brand it is, I just find that MAC has a good shade range and the names are great standards to base your research off of. I find it easier to use a MAC shade number in order to tell people what shade I am!

You absolutely don't have to use their products if you don't like them ;)

You're in the medium-medium/tan range.
Your face looks more neutral/slightly pink toned but it looks like your neck is a a tad yellow.
I'd say around an NC40 in MAC.
In L'orèal True Match you'd probably be around W6 although if it's too yellow you could also try N5-N6
There are websites where you can type in these shades and find your color match in other brands

If you go to Sephora , they can match you perfectly. I'm currently using MUFE Ultra Hd 127= Y335 I believe? It matches my skin perfectly , and they have a very wide selection of shades.
