I have a very light, yellow undertoned skin. I use #13 shade BB creams usually, but they have pink or greyish undertones. I saw CLIO recommend the #3 Linen color for light and warm toned skin so I ordered. I also needed a high coverage base makeup because I have a lot of bad acne scars on my cheeks. This cushion is the first cushion what I have ever tried and I am very happy with it. It covers the scars well and the shade and color are perfect!! :)
