Underwear too, when available in deeper colors (which are limited in time offered and range of styles). </p> <p>My colors (medium-Eastern and Western European/Latina):<br /> Foundation: "brandied peaches" also have used "warm honey". Toasted caramel, toffee, milk chocolate, butter brickle, cinnamon latte, espresso also available for med-dark skin.<br /> For light skintones: variations on porcelain, ivory, rose, beige- but also almond and honey in there. They also have tan and olive (food again) shades.</p> <p>Underwear: "cafe au lait" (Nubian), "pecan" (Wacoal). Pecan is discontinued as far as I can tell, Nubian no longer sold at Nordstrom. </p> <p>Light Wacoal colors- rose smoke, rose dust, au natural (looks lighter than Celtic DH...), natural nude (see previous comment). </p> <p>I am starting to see more numbered shades- Nude 1, 2... but 1 is always the lightest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-110#post-2183572 Wed, 31 Mar 2021 11:15:34 +0000 Vildy 2183572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The makeup shades study shows a real lag between how they editorialize diversity and how they think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-110#post-2183502 Wed, 31 Mar 2021 01:11:37 +0000 SarahD8 2183502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is a fascinating, data-rich exploration of how the names and numbers associated with makeup shades reveal racial and ethnic bias in the beauty industry:</p> <p><a href="https://pudding.cool/2021/03/foundation-names/" rel="nofollow">https://pudding.cool/2021/03/foundation-names/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-110#post-2183412 Tue, 30 Mar 2021 13:40:46 +0000 Inge 2183412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh excellent, thank you everyone!

I have tried too. Good luck. I read some time ago that the Chinese are marking things they have to export, made in Vietnam or some other country. But I recently order some socks from Amazon in colors like mustard and olive and orange that I’ve been looking for for over a year. They are probably made in China.
