Fitzpatrick III?
I am trying to match my skin tone so I can find a nice foundation. Presently I use none.
My aunties are 74, 82, 85 and 90 years of age, respectively. My youngest wears TirTir cushion that she brought back from Korea, but I am not sure how this tone thing goes 😅
Anyone have any suggestions?

all aunties looking good! love your cat too! i've got the tirtir foundation and while it's an exact shade match, it does oxidize in few hours to a darker, more orangish shade on me. so it's better to go lighter if you're going for the tirtir ones. another k-beauty foundation i like is from hera, the cushion foundation, its very nice and sits well the whole day. but the best way is to actually go in person and get shade matched, they tell you your exact shade match from different brands
I have JSM but it's #23 and now I have become brighter faced. I guess I will try #21. Western shades tend to make me look like a clown 🤡 🤣
Wow, why does your whole family look so young?! Even your cat is gorgeous! 😂 Thanks for sharing! I wouldn’t recommend TIRTIR for 40+ mature skin—it’s quite matte and can emphasize fine lines. It’s Korean, but actually more popular in hot, humid Japan! Have you tried BB cream? Missha is the classic, but for September I’d recommend Espoir BB 20 since I’m collaborating with Amorepacific. It only comes in 10 & 20, but has barrier-friendly ingredients like panthenol. If 20 matches, I’d try it! https://amorepacificcom.pxf.io/1GMyMR From the photos 🤣 I think 20 would suit your aunts too! The second from the left looks slightly deeper, so she could mix it with her usual foundation. 💙🩵
When I do put on "face camouflage" I am more of a BB cream girlie, and the Espoir BB 20 looks like it will work for me! I am letting my aunties know as well and sending the link you so thoughtfully provided 🥰 My cat Loki also thanks you for the compliment! My family has a history of my grandmother scolding anyone who went outside without wearing a hat, umbrella and long sleeves so we have been brought up to not be able to cross the threshold without protection🤣
What a beautiful family! I am also in love with your cat. He looks camera ready! I feel your struggle with the foundation matching! Until the last decade or so, I could never get a shade pale enough. Store clerks could go into the back of the store in a desperate attempt to find a mystery foundation light enough for me (or perhaps hoping I would go away). Now, on occasion, there are shades too pale even for me! I hope the people who need those shades have their SPF, hats, and umbrellas!
Yes! U.V sleeves sometimes come in multiple color packs, and some have cute designs. I am purchasing a U.V. jacket from Yami, styck deciding what color 🤪
@Annie Girl, yes! I treated myself to a new Solbari SPF hat, 2 sun wraps, and a skin-hugging shoulder wrap I keep in my car in the summer to protect my arms while i drive. It's amazing. I stopped short at buying gloves but hands are the most forgotten part of the upper body for me. I need to see what products Yami carries.
@hazelmoss I love being so protective of my skin. I am so thankful that I was a goth girl who covered top to toe and never went to the beach ⛱️ 😅
@Annie 😂 Yes! Although, have you ever heard of the social media account 2Shadows and their Goths in Ungothly Places series? It's the best.
