Foundation shades confused?

I have a skin tone which is in between ivory and cameo ivory is way to ale but cameo makes me look orange so is there a shade in between that anyone can suggest.





Also which foundations do you recommend for coverage and long lasting and anti-shine?





Thankyou OxFoundation shades confused?
Are you taking about maybelline dream mousse?? If you are then no there is no colour in between so i would suggest using a different foundation, maybe in Porcelain.Foundation shades confused?
Foundations don't just have different surface colours, they have different tones and undertones. Some colours have undertones for cool skin and some have undertones for warm skin. So if there's nothing between the two shades, try going up or down a shade or half a shade to see if the colour blends better into your skin. If not, check out a different brand. I personally find it easier to work with a lighter colour if anything, because you can buff it out to even your skin tone and balance it out with a good bronzer and highlight and face powder.





Regarding your original question though, what's the brand? Different brands give different names to different colours, so I don't know what would be between the colours.





I recommened Revlon ColourStay for Combination/Oily skin. They do I high range of colours too, so you might find something. I'm not sure if you wanted anti-shine for oily skin or for a matte finish, so if it's for the latter then a number of different cosmetic companies offer a matte finish foundation. Try a mineral foundation that doesn't contain any talc, and also be wary of foundations with SPF if you want a true matte effect.
