I made the mistake of not getting samples from Koh gen Do before ordering blindly online. So, going by reviews of others including a very inclusive review by the beauty professor, I went with #213....

Best foundation EVER! It looks completely natural on the skin, like I'm not even wearing makeup. Doesn't make the skin oily, nor doesn't dry it up. The coverage lasts all day. It's great to conceal...
