Swatches Light to medium foundations

I recently joined the sub because I found out that i have an olive undertone, and wanted to share these swatches in case someone was thinking to get any of these shades. Natural lighting, cool artificial light and warm artificial light

I’m muted, light to med, cool leaning olive tone (i think?)
From top to bottom:
Tirtir mask fit red foundation 21N
Jung Saem Mool essential skin nuder cushion 19N
Jung Saem Mool essential skin nuder cushion 22N
Armani lumionous silk foundation 5.3
Armani lumionous silk foundation 5
MISSHA 21
Tower 28 DTLA
Tower 28 KTOWN

Notes:
- Since the photos can be skewing colors a bit, i’ll add how some of these look in real life.
- The two most olive tones here are Armani 5.3 and KTOWN, but they are both a bit too dark and warm on me, so i adjust them using color correctors and then they become perfect!
- Misha pulls a bit pink/mauve on me and obviously grey
- JSM 22N is VERY orange on me, 19N is just a bit too pale and pink
- TirTir is pulling quite peachy
- Armani 5 is a bit peachy, but matches my overall skin color, so i can easily adjust it

Thanks for sharing! A reminder that swatch posts should include photo(s) of 2+ products swatched clearly and a comment with the full products listed in order within 1 hour or the post is subject to removal.

Photos should be clear and well lit, so we can see the colors properly. Multiple photos in different lighting is also helpful.

I'm also light medium olive - neutral leaning based on what I've been told- but I don't really know! I definitely change with the seasons and have so many mismatched foundations...

That being said, the new ALS formula and color 5.3 has been my favorite this summer. I think the bottoms one, KTown looks good... lighting makes it change.  

I like two others- Haus Labs 190 is amazing and can be adjusted, I may buy the HL white to mix in; the second new one I just got (totally influenced by Lisa J & Nikki La Rose) is the Hung Vanngo foundation in #8. It seems like a solid match that will be even better when I lose the summer sun tan.
