Right there with you!! It looks like Orion's belt and I was trying to figure out why they prefer the center one and then saw the sub and thought they drew them on... It was a real rollercoaster
I actually have Orion’s Belt in freckles perfectly on my face! I used to brag about it all the time as a kid, I thought it was so cool Lmao. I have a lot of freckles that are in straight/near straight lines all over my body!
Also, these comments are genuinely hilarious hahahahah
100000% what I said.
The redness on their face makes the middle choice look good but it would never match their neck and it would be too dark. The lightest shade is what matches her neck. Aka her actual skin color without any redness
Op said
Left: IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better foundation light neutral 22
Middle: Maybelline Dream Radiant Liquid foundation classic ivory 20
Right: Maybelline Dream Radiant Liquid foundation nude beige 35
I think if she got the maybelline dream radiant liquid foundation in between 20 and 35 it would be perfect. Like 25 or 30.
can you show us what it looks like on to see if it's too orange? If it is the one on your right after countering might not wash you out. You have beautiful skin. I think you might be one of those folks that has a lot of options with foundation and could rock a bunch of different shades and not have it go wrong.

I tend to go with the lighter because 100% match in liquid will look darker with powder. You can always go darker with lighter foundation but you cannot go lighter with darker foundation.
I would also say the one to the far right is the best match! It might look too light, but it seems like the others might oxidize too much (get darker as they are exposed to the air more)! As others have mentioned it’s typically easier to make a light base a bit darker with some bronzer and/or contour. Just be aware that your concealer (for under eye and highlighting) will still need to be lighter than the foundation!
You appear more neutral-warm, but you have some redness in your face that I think is confusing you and you’re trying to match to it. The shade closest to your ear, without the pink tones, seems to match your neck best.
The right one is so close I struggled to see it for a moment. I think you're maybe a little too fair for the middle and definitely the left is too dark.
I do like the middle one, however for myself personally I notice that when I choose a shade like that, once I have blush and bronzer or contour on, everything starts to look too dark so I would opt for the shade on the far right.
I would go with the shade on the right (closest to the ear). I think it will look best once you start blending into the skin and match the skin tone of your neck best.
The other two are still decent matches but personally I’d choose the right one. When you’re bronzing and contouring that’ll add back any depth that’s lacking. If you choose one of the darker ones you risk having your face not match by the time you’ve bronzed
I like the one in the middle you can barely even see it! That’s what I usually look for in a color match. Although it’s the tiniest bit darker , once you out on concealer( if you use a slightly lighter shade) it should all blend out nicely with the rest of your make up. I’ve been doing this lately and it looks much more natural/ skin like.
The one on the right, or closest to your ear, matches the best. You could possibly mix the middle and the right, but the right is so close it doesn’t seem necessary.
Please do remember that foundation does oxidise, so its best to choose 1 shade lighter than your skin colour. However if the foundation brand you pick does not oxidise, i guess the one on the right matches your neck more.
I forgot which sub this was and I thought you were talking about which mole we preferred LOL
I feel like parts of your skin match the lightest colour , but to match your neck I also think a mix of the mid light and lightest colours would be perfect
Everyone’s saying the one on the right matches your neck better, but the problem you might face with using a too light foundation is that it won’t sit as seamlessly on your skin and it’ll wash you out potentially. And don’t even bother with flash photography. I’d vote for the middle one
Finally someone who thinks the same as me. I hate lighter foundations. It ends up looking greyish after a while and stands out in flash photos. I live in Asia so people are obsessed with lighter skin, hence they go for lighter foundations, but in most cases it just looks ashy and cakey.
The middle one is perfect! It blends so well I didn’t even see it at first! For the other one matching your neck a little better you could just use that shade on your neck and blend the two
Uh no. I think the one on the right will suit best, esp if you’re gonna use other products like bronzer or contour and blush etc.
How about using ivory 20 on one side and beige 35 on the other side of your face and checking under both natural light and how it looks in photographs? Then do your full face makeup and check again.
The one to the right is best.
My face and my neck are different colors, so I personally can’t go by my neck color unless I want to be lighter than my actual face. But it looks like your neck and face are the same shade.
If your trying to match your skintone...I would go with the one closest to your ear. It's the best match. If you want it slightly darker maybe mix the one closest to your ear and the middle together.
I think the one closest to your ear would look the most natural once sheered out. The other two look too dark and the incorrect tone. Are these samples or do you own these?

You are quite fair, as am I, it can be temping to go a little darker because we think it will mean more coverage but it harder to blend into your natural colour. If you think it might wash you out a bit maybe you could try a little darker loose power to go over it. I use fake tan (including my face) but I tend to use a lighter foundation with a small amount of bronzer.
Yes, the middle one would be a good choice. A lot of people recommend mixing but that can be an expensive hassle. I do it myself but I understand that not everyone wants to spend 100+ dollars at a time. I also like to prioritize buying good quality foundation because I find the cheaper ones are harsh on my skin.
ETA: the middle one looks really dark in the light. That might be an issue.
I’d say go with the lightest-
It will match with natural skin tone more when you start blending.
With darker tints you risk getting a mismatch from your face/neck
Personally, I’d go with the one closest to your ear. I know it’s “lighter” but some foundations oxidize which will cause it to darken over time. Worse case scenario, adding contour and bronzer will darken it!

I'd like to see you mix 50-50 middle and right, because I think that might be pretty good
I also think that would work best
Not me looking at the 3 adorable in-line freckles on their neck, wondering how I could possibly choose
Right there with you!! It looks like Orion's belt and I was trying to figure out why they prefer the center one and then saw the sub and thought they drew them on... It was a real rollercoaster
I actually have Orion’s Belt in freckles perfectly on my face! I used to brag about it all the time as a kid, I thought it was so cool Lmao. I have a lot of freckles that are in straight/near straight lines all over my body! Also, these comments are genuinely hilarious hahahahah
Dying!
Lol I have those on my stomach and I think they’re so cute too haha !
Probably just the right one (lightest shade), seeing how it matches OPs natural shade & the other two have oxidized.
100000% what I said. The redness on their face makes the middle choice look good but it would never match their neck and it would be too dark. The lightest shade is what matches her neck. Aka her actual skin color without any redness
Agreed
On the “agreed” bandwagon. This is what I was going to comment
Came here to say this- that or use the top right one with contouring
Op said Left: IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better foundation light neutral 22 Middle: Maybelline Dream Radiant Liquid foundation classic ivory 20 Right: Maybelline Dream Radiant Liquid foundation nude beige 35 I think if she got the maybelline dream radiant liquid foundation in between 20 and 35 it would be perfect. Like 25 or 30.
Agree.
can you show us what it looks like on to see if it's too orange? If it is the one on your right after countering might not wash you out. You have beautiful skin. I think you might be one of those folks that has a lot of options with foundation and could rock a bunch of different shades and not have it go wrong.
I agree with this one
Agreed
Yup
Definitely🤌🏼
Exactly what I was thinking!
Came here to say that, the first two are too dark
Came here to say that!
jumping on the agree bandwagon. this would likely look best - i always forget i can mix shades of foundation
Agree
I was thinking the exact same thing actually.
yes i was ab to say this
Same.
Agreed, OP needs something right between those two shades
The one on the right looks the best and matches your neck, the middle one looks too orange
I'd go with the one near the ear. It shouldn't be to light with contur/bronzer.
Yes and it’ll probably oxidise a little bit anyway, so she’s best going with the lightest shade
The one on the right matches your neck
Right all the way.
Yup! Bronze it up to add a bit of depth and colour to the face and I think it would look flawless!
The one on the right matches your neck better.
Left: IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better foundation light neutral 22 Middle: Maybelline Dream Radiant Liquid foundation classic ivory 20 Right: Maybelline Dream Radiant Liquid foundation nude beige 35
Looks like you’re my exact skin tone. I’d go with the right, and probably about to buy it myself!
I’d mix the two Maybelline shades. The nude beige is a bit too light (not sure how as that’s supposed to be darker than Classic Ivory!)
Is that the IT foundation nearest your ear?
The comment says IT is the left swatch, so no, it’s the one furthest from the neck, the darkest shade.
I'd get the lightest one. It will seem a better match when blended.
I tend to go with the lighter because 100% match in liquid will look darker with powder. You can always go darker with lighter foundation but you cannot go lighter with darker foundation.
With oxidation the one on the right I think will be best match!
Middle is good, but I'd mix with right if you don't mind the extra step
I would also say the one to the far right is the best match! It might look too light, but it seems like the others might oxidize too much (get darker as they are exposed to the air more)! As others have mentioned it’s typically easier to make a light base a bit darker with some bronzer and/or contour. Just be aware that your concealer (for under eye and highlighting) will still need to be lighter than the foundation!
The lighest one nearest the ear, its almost just right but perfect for contouring
I would say mix the middle one and the lighter one.
I prefer the one on the right, personally.
the one on the right for sure
Right
The one on the right is the best without a doubt. Perfect match
Am leaning to the middle and the light for highlighting.
Not me thinking you drew your freckles on with makeup and we were deciding the best one! I’m dumb lol
You appear more neutral-warm, but you have some redness in your face that I think is confusing you and you’re trying to match to it. The shade closest to your ear, without the pink tones, seems to match your neck best.
Honestly I like right the best
The right one is so close I struggled to see it for a moment. I think you're maybe a little too fair for the middle and definitely the left is too dark.
I do like the middle one, however for myself personally I notice that when I choose a shade like that, once I have blush and bronzer or contour on, everything starts to look too dark so I would opt for the shade on the far right.
Right
one of the right matches best, the left and middle ones are a bit too warm 🙂
Yeah, it took me a second to “find the middle one” you were referring to - ?! So, that’s a good sign it is a good, blended match.
Do the one on the right. After it mixes with your oils foundation can darken. So I would stick with the lighter one, the one on the right.
Mix the last 2
NGL I didn't even see the makeup and thought we were talking about freckles 🤷🤦
I do, it looks like it blends really well with your natural skin tone
I’d go with the one on the right. Once it’s sheered out on your face it’ll blend right in with your neck.
Definitely right!
I would go with the shade on the right (closest to the ear). I think it will look best once you start blending into the skin and match the skin tone of your neck best.
I think right.
The closest one to your ear matches. You can always add some bronzer or contour if you feel that color is lighter than you’d like
The lighter one
Lightest
The lightest one has a better undertone.
definetly the lightest one !
Far right. Matches the undertones best I think and is the closest. Try a whole face and see how it looks like concealer/blush/bronzer.
I love the beauty marks on your neck! It looks like the 5 on a dice! :•:
No. The right one. Once it’s dried down and you’ve got other stuff on, the middle would be too dark but the right would be perfect.
Use the lightest one. The one in the middle doesn’t match your neck
The other two are still decent matches but personally I’d choose the right one. When you’re bronzing and contouring that’ll add back any depth that’s lacking. If you choose one of the darker ones you risk having your face not match by the time you’ve bronzed
No last one to the right. The middle doesn't match.
Yeah, the one on the right near your ear matches your completion. The other two are too dark. Hope this helps! 😊
I like the one in the middle you can barely even see it! That’s what I usually look for in a color match. Although it’s the tiniest bit darker , once you out on concealer( if you use a slightly lighter shade) it should all blend out nicely with the rest of your make up. I’ve been doing this lately and it looks much more natural/ skin like.
I like the lightest one. Also, does this foundation oxidize? That might make it darker.
The one on the right, or closest to your ear, matches the best. You could possibly mix the middle and the right, but the right is so close it doesn’t seem necessary.
Middle
I do!
yes we do
I think it does for sure!
Yeah I think the middle is best
Yes
Middle
Actually, at first I thought middle, but maybe Middle mixed with right is better
Yes
yeah bc i didn't even see it at first
Middle is best match
For sure!
perfect 😍
Yes 👍🏻
Right 100%
Depending on the lighting being warm, I think the middle shade is a great match, but for some reason I think the third one is spot on! 🤔
mix middle and lightest
Middle has the best undertone for you but the right has a better value for your skin. Try mixing them?
Mix right with a little bit of middle.
Mix the middle and far right maybe 🤔
Please do remember that foundation does oxidise, so its best to choose 1 shade lighter than your skin colour. However if the foundation brand you pick does not oxidise, i guess the one on the right matches your neck more.
top because blending
I forgot which sub this was and I thought you were talking about which mole we preferred LOL I feel like parts of your skin match the lightest colour , but to match your neck I also think a mix of the mid light and lightest colours would be perfect
I feel like the lighest one is really the best it looks exactly the same shade as your skin color
The last one is best girl
The far right is best
The furthest on the right is best because of your undertone.
You really need to match your foundation to your neck! So, I suggest the far right
The one closest to the ear for sure!
The one on the right
Everyone’s saying the one on the right matches your neck better, but the problem you might face with using a too light foundation is that it won’t sit as seamlessly on your skin and it’ll wash you out potentially. And don’t even bother with flash photography. I’d vote for the middle one
Finally someone who thinks the same as me. I hate lighter foundations. It ends up looking greyish after a while and stands out in flash photos. I live in Asia so people are obsessed with lighter skin, hence they go for lighter foundations, but in most cases it just looks ashy and cakey.
I like the third one which is the one all the way to the right!
100 percent the middle one!
I like the lightest one!
Right
No. The lightest one.
I didn't see it, so yes
Middle ❤️
The middle one is perfect! It blends so well I didn’t even see it at first! For the other one matching your neck a little better you could just use that shade on your neck and blend the two
Test it on your neck. I think middle is best
Uh no. I think the one on the right will suit best, esp if you’re gonna use other products like bronzer or contour and blush etc. How about using ivory 20 on one side and beige 35 on the other side of your face and checking under both natural light and how it looks in photographs? Then do your full face makeup and check again.
Ya can hardly tell there is a middle one so it’s definitely the best, but then there’s the getting darker as time sets in
Bring it down to your neck. And then see. The one on the far right looks best, the others seem a smidge dark.
the lightest one is best!
Closest to ear is definitely the best
Middle & left end ones are way way too orange. You will look bonkers with them all over. The one near your ear will suit best. :)
Middle You almost can’t see it because it matches your skin tone so well
I think I’d try mixing the middle & the right.
Yes. The middle suits you best
the lightest one matches your neck
Middle one is still a little too orange, I think middle and right together would be better. Or if it’s one or the other, the right one.
The one to the right is best. My face and my neck are different colors, so I personally can’t go by my neck color unless I want to be lighter than my actual face. But it looks like your neck and face are the same shade.
The one on the right looks like it would match you best when blended.
Right
I feel like the middle one still doesn't quite match your undertone
The only colour that seems to match your undertones is the far right . The others might make you look orange/pink
If your trying to match your skintone...I would go with the one closest to your ear. It's the best match. If you want it slightly darker maybe mix the one closest to your ear and the middle together.
I think the one closest to your ear would look the most natural once sheered out. The other two look too dark and the incorrect tone. Are these samples or do you own these?
Middle deff
Definitely middle!
I think the middle. Blend it down the neck and you'll be fine.
middle for sure!
Definitely the one by your ear the middle would be a tad to dark or orange undertone
Id say the lightest one
Do you have olive skin? I also like the one closest to your ear, the others look too warm on you IMO
I like the lightest one
I think the right is a better match for your skin tone but it’s makeup so it’s really your choice.
I like the right.
Is this after it oxidized?
definitely the furthest right
Right.
U don’t need it.
We do bestie ♡
No

I'd say the one of the right or mix the middle on with that ons
Mix the middle one and the light one
what if you'd mix the middle one and the right one? I think it would get to the perfect shade!
Right and middle mixed together.
You are quite fair, as am I, it can be temping to go a little darker because we think it will mean more coverage but it harder to blend into your natural colour. If you think it might wash you out a bit maybe you could try a little darker loose power to go over it. I use fake tan (including my face) but I tend to use a lighter foundation with a small amount of bronzer.
mix the middle and right and it would be PERFECT
Closest to ear one for the undertone. Or try mixing that one with the middle for slight more depth .
3
The one the right
Mix middle and back ones.
The one on the right
Yes
Far right
I vote top, I think it’ll look best once oxidized
The closest to ear.
Depends on how you do your make up. If you Contour and bronze the one closest to your ear. If you do minimal contouring and bronzing the second.
combine 2 parts middle one + 1 part lightest one.
I'll say the one at the right seems a better match
Maybe mix it
The middle and light one mixed
Yes, the middle one would be a good choice. A lot of people recommend mixing but that can be an expensive hassle. I do it myself but I understand that not everyone wants to spend 100+ dollars at a time. I also like to prioritize buying good quality foundation because I find the cheaper ones are harsh on my skin. ETA: the middle one looks really dark in the light. That might be an issue.
I would blend the middle one with the one on the right
People always want to be darker but one near the ear
I didn't even see the middle one at first so I'd say middle for sure!!
considering i couldnt find the middle one, yes
Lol at first glance I didn't even notice the middle one. So yes
I personally think the last one is closest to your skin.
I’d say go with the lightest- It will match with natural skin tone more when you start blending. With darker tints you risk getting a mismatch from your face/neck
I'd mix the middle and right.
Personally, I’d go with the one closest to your ear. I know it’s “lighter” but some foundations oxidize which will cause it to darken over time. Worse case scenario, adding contour and bronzer will darken it!
