How
to find the right Color of Foundation for your skin.
The best
ingredients & most expensive brands of makeup won't work on your skin if you
choose the wrong foundation color. Choosing the right foundation is paramount to
a flawless look. There are so many colors out there. How do you find the one
that is right for you?
Most women's skin tend
to fall in three categories of tones: cool, neutral or warm.
If your skin falls in
the COOL tones
you usually have some shades of pink in it. Your veins on your underside of your
wrist and arm are usually blueish. You look great in pink & blue clothing.
Your skin can be light or dark but the tone in it tends to be pink. You should
look for foundations that have tints of pink to them. Pink is a cool shade of
red. Stay away from golden or warm red tones to the foundation!
If you skin falls in the
WARM
tone you usually have some shades of red, yellow or green tones to them. Some
people say you look good in earth tones. Your veins on the underside of your
wrist tend to be greenish. You look good in golden colors, greens and a huge
variety of brown shades. You should look for foundations that have yellow tones
or warm red tones to them. Stay away from pinks at all cost!
If your skin is in the NEUTRAL
category, you can wear both cool & warm tones equally. Neutrals are a
mixture of both warm & cool colors. You can have either bluish or greenish
veins on the underneath of you wrist. You can wear both blues & pinks as
well as browns & green clothing. You can wear a mixture of either the cool
or warm tones. Try to find by trial and error the tone you look best in cool or
warm.
By figuring out if you
have cool, warm or neutral tones, you then can save lots of time & money by
not investing in a shade you would never wear. Once you find your right shade,
then you can narrow down to the brand type, mineral or liquid, maximum or light
coverage and finally the best bargains.
