![]() ![]() For a UK drugstore option it's a brilliant shade because it has a definite olive tone to it but I'm interested as to how much warmer the other medium shades will be in the American range like shades 230 Natural Buff and 240 Golden Beige, because I do like a little more of a yellow/golden tinge to my face which 220 seems to lack but it's a decent match considering my luck with drugstore. The shade 220 Natural Beige is by far the closest drugstore match for my skin tone to date (unless you guys know of a similarly great olive/yellow shade, write them down below ) ). Pricing and shipping may differ so make sure you look around and decide if it's actually worth it! There are also loads of blogposts and videos on YouTube with swatches and demo's so check those out if you want to colour match. If you are interested in any of the US shades, you might be lucky enough to find them quite easily on the internet, places such as eBay or Amazon or other websites. I've listed below the shades available in both the US and UK so you can see the differences yourselves and to further fuel any similar frustrations you may have. The shades ending in '0' are supposedly warm tones and the ones ending in '5' cool tones. When it comes to shades available in the UK, as usual there are limited shades available compared to the US, The USA have a total of 19 shades and on the Boots website there are 11 (some shades seem to be out of stock perhaps even discontinued), not only that depending on the store, most UK drugstores don't even stock all shades, some providing only 4! Exactly, do not get me started on my frustration with UK shade offerings and rrr. The US Fit Me Foundation bottle doesn't come with a pump, the UK one does, so if you've picked it up from somewhere online like eBay or Amazon and it doesn't have a pump then you most likely have the US version. ![]() The differences between US and UK versions I really adored how luminous and hydrating the formula was on my skin, but it was way too orange so I ran some searches and realised I should've picked 220 as it came up as the most commonly matched shade for me. I checked both US and UK websites to confirm this and I was correct. I was confused at first then I figured since they were both Sun Beige they were probably identical. Maybelline Fit Me Foundation came out back in 2009/2010 I think, I remember I first purchased it in 2010 off eBay in the shade 310 Sun Beige, which is the US equivalent to the UK shade 250 also Sun Beige. ![]()
