There’s porcelin ivory, classic ivory, ivory, milk, vanilla, peach, beige, tan, olive, sierra, golden, bronze, toast and the list goes on. But when it comes to dark foundations, it’s just Caramel or Cocoa. What’s up with this? My skin color isn’t cocoa, it’s ebony and I have a HARD time finding my shade. Do the companies not realize that blacks come in other shades than caramel and cocoa? Why is this?
