Hi… I have the same skin tone as yours and I have been using Nars Sheer Glow in shade Stromboli as well as BB serum foundation in shade Warm Natural 4.5 and I’m in love with the Too Face Foundation Bur can’t decide if I should opt for Golden Beige/WarmBeige/sand.
Can you please give me some suggestion. Thankyou
Hi, can you show a picture of the BB serum foundation. I want to buy it.

Melissa,
I think this is the Bobbi Brown Serum foundation Archana was referring to: https://www.sephora.com/product/bobbi-brown-intensive-skin-serum-foundation-spf-40-P465745?skuId=2501435
Author
Archana,
For the Too Faced Born This Way foundation, it really depends on your undertone:
– Golden Beige is light shade with golden undertones
– Warm Beige is a medium shade with neutral undertone
– Sand is a medium shade with golden undertone
For NC40 skin tones, I’d recommend going with the medium shades (Warm Beige and Sand).
Hope this helps!
Hey, is this with respect to too faced matte 24 hour foundation or the Original too faced one? As there is difference in shades with respect to both. Warm beige in original too faced is on a darker side compared to too faced born this way matte. Original too faced warm beige is a perfect match for me but in matte, warm beige is but lighter. Should I opt for sand shade in matte too faced?
Author
Hi Gayatri, the shades listed are for Too Faced Born This Way foundation in the Original formula. If you find Warm Beige in the Matte version too light, then I’d say it’s worth trying out the Sand shade in Matte. Sand is a medium shade with golden undertones, so if you have similar undertones, then it might work for you.
Good luck!
Thanks Very useful… Do you have a match of NC40 for Kat Von D foundation?
Author
Hi Liz, Medium 57 for Kat Von D Lock It foundation might be a good match for NC40 skin tone.
Hi thank you for this! Do you have a match for Nc40 and pat mcgrath foundation?
Hi I use NC40 in Mac but wanna try rimmel foundation but not sure what shade shall I try in that, any suggestions
Hey me too ! Hope I can find out the answer too ! My maybelline fit me foundation shade is Natural Buff
Author
Hi Anagha, it sounds like you are around MAC NC35. 200 Soft Beige in Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation might work for you.
Author
Hi Poonam, check out 201 Classic Beige for Rimmel Stay Matte. It might work with NC40 skin tone.

Hey what shade to buy in Charlotte Tilbury airbrush flawless foundation and Smashbox always on foundation for NC40???
Author
Hi Hanisha, for Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush foundation, 7.5W would suit NC40 skin with warm undertones. For Smashbox Always On foundation, try L30N. Hope this helps!
Hey hun
I wanted to ask for the new Maybelline super stay Skin Tint what shade would be best for us NC40 girlies ? I wanted to ask because it wasn’t on the list yet. Thank you xo
Author
Hi Tiffany, for NC40 skin tones, check out shade 310 for the Maybelline Super Stay Skin Tint. It’s a medium shade with neutral cool undertones.
I hope this help!
Thank you so much. That helped a lot. If it’s okay I wanted to ask just one other question. For the E.L.F Halo Glow Liquid Filter, would the best match for us be 4 Medium or 5 Medium Tan ? Thank you so much for your help xo we appreciate you
Author
Hi Tiffany,
For NC40 skin tone, I’d definitely go with 4 Medium for e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter. It’s a medium shade with neutral undertones. 5 Medium/Tan is a warm shade that would fit MAC NC42 to NC44 skin tones better.
Hope this helps!
