I'm from the UK and know that there are lines that do this (ie: have only certain shades available in the US and not in other countries) so to me it seems reasonable for that to be the case. I've tried Double Wear myself too and it's far too orange on me too, despite being a similar skintone to Emma so I'm not completely sure how it looks so good on her :P.

I wear 1n1 ivory nude, that is the lightest of the neutral shades and its a new shade in the UK. It's pale on me and its not orange. I'm not sure if there is a difference in shades? but it seems to be the case with other brands

Maybe try a neutral shade?

I'm pretty sure I tried 1C0 or 1, the lightest C shade at the time (I tried it about a year ago) as I've never had a good match with warm or neutral ones. I actually found it too yellowy despite it being "cool".

Definitely get a sample of the 1C0 shade though, it might match you better than it matched me, plus Estee Lauder are fab with samples so it would be a bit silly not to give it a go.

They changed some of the color ranges in Estee Lauder last year :-\ the best thing to do is walk in and have them apply it on you.
