The Perfect Base:
A beautiful makeover starts with the right foundation. Applied properly, foundation can make any complexion seem healthy and flawless. The aim is to leave the skin looking as natural and unmade-up as possible.
The word foundation means exactly that: It is the foundation, the basis, of your makeup routine. Choose your foundation color to blend with the skin tone of the neck and not the face. If the foundation color isn't right, your whole look may be off. |
Choosing your Color:
It is important to choose a foundation similar in color to your own skin. Always choose your foundation color to blend with the skin tone of the neck and not the face. You are looking for a color that disappears into the skin. It may take several tries to get the perfect shade but it is worth the effort.
To find the perfect foundation for your coloring, apply three suitable shades in strips across the cheek and jawbone. You are looking for the one that literally disappears into the skin. Your foundation will blend with the skin tone of the neck and not the face. If you can't find the perfect color you may blend two colors in your level to get your perfect shade. |
When you try a new shade, try it in natural light. You should always aim to apply your make-up in daylight. When trying a new foundation, wait fifteen minutes before reaching a decision as the oil on your skin and the air usually darkens the shade you have chosen.
You will check to see if your skin's undertone is WARM or COOL.
WARM undertones appear to have a slight green hue to them. COOL undertones appear to have a slight blue hue to them.
The quickest way to check this out is to look at the veins on the inside of your wrist. Look at others' veins to compare. It will be obvious once you observe someone with the opposite skin tone. |
