I have been having troubles with finding my colour in foundation for months now. It's been to the point where I have been spending over $100 on the wrong colour. I've either gotten too dark or too pale foundation. I'm a cold undertone, I'm white but not pale. I'm a bit inbetween I'm a bit medium actually. However I can never find my colour or one that's helpful with my sensitive skin. Please help or give me some advice.
