i would choose a foundation that is an in between colour of ur neck and face.
it is v common to have the rest of ur body much darker than ur face.
dont go to dark witht the foundation as it will look too fkae. i sggest u use a stick foundation they are the most easy to apply i use a max factor one and it is great.
there are also foundations that come in sprays havent tried them but i think they are much easier to use.
if u use a liquid foundation it is best to apply it with a sponge

I don't suggest getting a different color than your face, it might mke you look clowinsh. Try matching your skin tone and just blend it with your neck. It never looks right putting a different color on your skin even if does match your neck.
I suggest Aveda liquid foundation. It is light, has an spf of 15, and is oil fre- so no break out because of it! If your face is really that different then your body, I recommend using tanning lotion on whatever part is lighter. It is really natural and unlike the sprays does not give results in one day causing you to look a totally different color often with blotches. It's very gradual. Bronzer can also do a lot, but I understand you don't want to use it.

NO....foundation is not meant to discolor your natural skin tone--it is meant to cover and blend your skin. Go with a foundation that matches your natural face skin tone--regardless of the color of your body and neck. I know you specified that you don't want to use a bronzer--but you may want to try using a bronzer on the visible areas of your body--especially on your neck and chest area, just to make the colors blend. I use a lotion with bronzer inside so my skin has that "glow". My face is a lot lighter than the rest of my body, so this helps to blend the colors throughout my entire body. Good luck!

Yes! U would definitly want to match ur body so it want look like a mask. There are so many good foundations out there to choose from, but, make sure that you go to a professional counter and also have them to go outside with you so that way u will know how it would look in natural sun lite. Because the lights at the mall sucks!

If the color difference is significant, then choose one in between. But small differences are normal, so go with a color that blends in with your facial skin tone.
I'm thrilled with the spray foundation of Dior Air Flash. It's so light and refreshing like a splash of water, you don't feel foundation clogging your pores but at the same time makes your skin look perfect smooth and so easy to apply. Just spray it on...
It's a little pricier but I think it's totally worth it.

when choosing a foundation you blend a bit into the skin on the back of your hand ....whichever shade matches close enough to that skin tone is the one you should use. It will then blend in with the colour on your neck or rest of your body, but will suit your face too without making it look orange or too pale

You need to definitely get the liquid powder foundation by BEE LUSCIOUS COSMETICS because this has been the most amazing product I have ever used. It goes on liquid and delivers maximum coverage yet sets to a lovely powdery, silky soft finish that is flawless and the colors are so light they will blend right into your skin tones. Its very natural and simply gorgeous you will love it.

It should turn out OK, but before buying the foundation, test it on your inner wrist and put that in different lights to see how natural its looks. Another option would be self tanner for the face. Goood luck!!â¥

i personally hate liquid foundation, it never blends that well for me and im either lighter or darker than my skin tone... i use a powder make up- bare minerals, it matches your neck skin tone perfectly. no lines where you can tell where the makeup ends

If there is a brand of makeup you like that s sold in a department store I would go there and have them match your color.
I use studio fix by MAC it runs about 27.00. I like it because it is light and it goes on really smooth and it looks natural.
