Finding the right foundation shade can be a challenge, but there are a few tips to help you select the perfect match:
-
Test in natural light: Testing foundation in natural light is the best way to see its true shade and ensure that it matches your skin tone. Avoid testing in artificial light, as it can be misleading.
-
Swatch: Swatch a few shades along your jawline and check them in natural light. The right shade will disappear into your skin and not look noticeable.
-
Consider undertones: It's important to identify your skin's undertones, as this will help you select a foundation that will look natural and blend seamlessly into your skin. There are three undertones: warm (yellow or golden), cool (pink or red), and neutral (a mix of warm and cool).
-
Mix two shades: If you can't find a perfect match, you can mix two shades to create your own custom blend.
-
Ask for help: Don't be afraid to ask for help from a makeup artist or a salesperson, as they can provide expert guidance in selecting the right shade for you.
Remember, it's important to regularly check your foundation shade, as your skin tone can change with the seasons and with age.
