N4 Buff Beige in every other brand
Across the 14 lines that carry something close, the measured distance runs from ΔE 1.0 (Too Faced) out to ΔE 6.9 (NYX Professional Makeup). 5 of them hold the same neutral undertone; the rest shift, which matters more than a small difference in depth. 9 land in the good band or better. Note that the closest shade by distance, Too Faced Seashell, is cool rather than neutral — if undertone matters more to you than depth, Il Makiage 60 at ΔE 1.3 is the better pick.
