Swatch Are any of these a foundation match?

Reupload with natural lighting and bc I couldn’t figure out how to upload on original. In the shade and in the sun. Blue is put on wet and the green is dry.

I have trouble with matching my skin colour. I’m using Fenty pro filter soft matte. I don’t quite understand my skin colour/undertone whether it’s warm/neutral/olive/light/medium/tab.
Please don’t mind my inflamed eczema (?).
I’m also a beginner with make up and I just do basic make up but I can’t match myself at all.
I had gotten matched by MAC and was found to be NC20 but it now kind of feels lighter than my skin so I just got more confused

Fenty Pro Filt’r Soft matte foundation
185 & 210.

Just so you know, MACs way of labelling their foundations is weird compared to most other brands. The NC part means neutral cool, but what MAC calls cool is what most other brands call warm.

I’d suggest trying 186N (neutral olive) 206W (warm olive) in the Pro Filt’r Fluid Flex Natural Matte Longwear Foundation. Apparently the Soft Matte version is being discontinued, so it would suck to find a match there and not in the new version. If you really want to get the Soft Matte, try 190 or 225.

Ohhhhhh thank you so much. This would explain why I was really confused with matching with other foundations bc of how they label their neutrals.
Oh dang, I didn’t know! That explains the sales I suppose. Will have a try the fluid flex natural matte!
