Open Question: Foundation color?

I have an issue with finding the right color foundation for my skin tone. I also don't like to wear a lot of heavy make up which usually keeps liquid foundation out of the running. Anytime I try to find a good (usually cream/matte) foundation I can't find my color and end up spending so much money on mixing and matching colors so that I don't look like I have an orange complextion or like I ate a ton of carrots. I'm pretty fair skinned (which also makes it a problem when I need a concealer) and right now I'm using NYC concealer crayon in ivory and Maybellne Dream Matte Mousse in Nude which I am assuming is their 4th lightest color. If I go a shade light I look a little too pale and well dead. So my question(s) are how do I buy only one shade without looking so orange? and still keeping my foundation light and fresh feeling? and keeping it like on my wallet?
