I can't seem to find the right shades in any type of make up.....
I have warm/medium skin tone with a lot of freckles.
Any suggestions?!

I have a lot of freckles too I use Color Stay by revlon make sure no matter what kind of skin you have you use the one with the black lid not the red. The red is good but it rubs off. Colorstay will even stay on in the water...I go to the lake it is on the entire time. I mix two shades to get the right shade because like you I have so many colors because of freckles....but the good thing is Revlon takes anything back so you could try it and if it wasnt the right color just mix it. Also if it isnt the perfect color get a powder to cover and even it out. I use Lancome Dual finish...I love it and get complements on my makeup all the time...Just be sure to spread the colorstay evenly with a sponge or it will cake especially on your jaw line...just dab it on not spread.
hope this helps

I *can* relate as I always have the same problem. What I will say is don't buy the expensive stuff. I went to a beauty/makeup counter in a dept. store and a *very* pale woman "helped" me pick out a color and was completely off. It ended up being too light.
Instead, I would recommend a tinted moisturizer like Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer (I use #40 Neutral to Tan) or use a regular moisturizer with a face powder over it. It works great for me. Best wishes! :)
P.S. I always love freckles on people. Show 'em off ... don't try to hide them! :)

I had the same problem. The only product that I found matched my skin tone were MAC products. They are a bit more expensive than drugstore ones but worth it. I use it very sparingly!
You can go to the MAC store or counter and they will help you pick the colour that is best for your skin tone. They have a wide selection of colours for deeper skin tones.Try "Select Tint".
Good luck!

Sorry, I can't really relate to you, but I can suggest you go to like a departmental store, and ask the make up artist there, or check out different brands websites such as maybelline.com, covergirl.com etc, to find. They usually have such things like how to match colors to your skin tone or something like that. It may help a little more.

It's hard to help, basically you should go to an actual make up store and probably get help from somebody that does it as a job. Otherwise just try out different make ups on your hand/arm and see if you find the right one.

Neutral tones, like beige and brown usually go with any skin tone

Freckles are really cute, I think you should go to the mall and visit the MAC make-up booth, Macy's have one or sometimes they have their own store location. They are very nice and are always willing to help bring out the true U. Good Luck.

Since you already have warm skin I would suggest using a yellow undertone to counteract. Then use Almay or Neutrogena(my favorites!) they usually have everyones color. Use a sheer powder to hide any blemishes b/c I have freckles and I don't hide them, people complement me on them!
