Choosing the right shade of foundation is essential for achieving a flawless makeup look that enhances your natural beauty. The first step in finding your perfect match is to understand your skin tone and undertone. Skin tones typically fall into three categories: fair, medium, and deep. To identify your undertone, observe the colors that best complement your skin. Cool undertones usually have hints of pink, blue, or purple, while warm undertones lean towards yellow, peach, or golden shades. Neutral undertones can be a mix of both.
Once you’ve determined your skin tone and undertone, the next step is to test foundation shades. Rather than applying foundation to your hand or wrist, which can often lead to mismatched results, test the product directly on your jawline. This area provides a clearer view of how the foundation will blend with both your face and neck, ensuring a seamless finish. When testing, apply a small amount of foundation and blend it out, continuing to observe how it reacts to your natural skin over time, especially under different lighting conditions. Natural light is best for seeing the accurate shade.
