So I usually use the shade W1 from the Loreal True match but I've gotten a tan this last couple of weeks and now my foundation is too light for my body but when I looked at the true match the other day I couldn't choose a shade because compared to the W1 the other colours seemed super dark, would anyone have an estimate on what colour I'd be in it now judging from my shoulders? Haha, I'd usually just buy a shade and work with it but true match is 30$ here and we can't return things so I'm tryna be sure when I pick it out lol! Any help is super appreciated you guys, I suck at trying to decipher shades lol! Weird picture but you can see what I'm talking about lol! 💕

You could stick with your original shade, W1, and just use bronzer to warm your skin up to match your neck and the rest of your body. That's what I do sometimes if I buy a foundation that it too pale. I take it down my neck slightly then on my cheeks and forehead as usual.

The next shade up could look too dark, because you're so used to buying a lighter shade. So when you see a shade darker than your usual shade, it could just look too dark but it will probably match your slightly tanned skin. You could buy it, and if it is truly too dark, just mix it with your usual lighter shade to customize your perfect shade. Or like others said, you could warm up your skin with a matte  bronzer.
