So I've been wanting to buy the Clinique beyond perfecting foundation online but I don't know what shade to pick since I haven't had time to go to the store and buy it and get colored matched 😫 I've checked online for those websites to find your color match but the foundation that I want doesn't pop up. My foundation shades in different brands are Mac studio fix fluid C4.5 Loreal true match W6 sun beige and loreal pro matte infallible 107 fresh beige. Thanx in advance.

Last time I went to Ulta, they had professionals over in the Clinique area helping pick out the right Clinique foundations and powder and answering any questions about the Clinique products.

To make sure you get the most for your money, I'd go to the beauty counter and swatch the foundation. Don't swipe of your wrist or hand, do it on your jaw or cheek.

Were you lighter or more tan as these colors matched?
They seem to be a bit different.

For example, C4.5 in Studio Fix Fluid is actually around an N3-N4 in L'orèal true match.
It has a more peach undertone.

The L'orèal True Match in W6 is actually around an NC37-NC40 in the studio fix fluid.

107 Fresh Beige is around an NC42 in the MAC Studio Fix Fluid.

So, I can kind of see why the websites may not find a match. All in all, I highly suggest going to a Clinique counter to get matched.

Aurora S to be honest I was wearing Mac Nc40 and I started looking yellow weird I know and I have worn that shade for years so when I went to get colored match again that's when they told me that I was C4.5 and the Loreal true match in W6 actually looks dark on me but then it oxidizes and matches me.

I adore beyond perfecting foundation! Maybe a 6 or 7.5 in Clinique might be suited to you! ( don't take my word for it! ) I'm a number 8 which is honey and I know number 11 is also yellow toned so maybe avoid those two
