Selecting The Right Shade of Foundation

Undertone Guide

Makeup can be a great way to enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence but choosing the right shade can be a challenge. With so many colors and shades to choose from, it's easy to get overwhelmed. Understanding your skin tone and undertones is the key to finding the perfect shade.

Firstly, let's talk about skin tone. There are three main categories when it comes to skin tone: fair, medium, and deep. Fair skin tones tend to burn easily in the sun, have pink or rosy undertones, and may have freckles. Medium skin tones are tan easily, have yellow or golden undertones, and may have a mix of pink and golden undertones. Deep skin tones tend to have a dark complexion and may have cool or warm undertones.

Next, let's talk about undertones. Undertones are the colors that come through your skin and can be either cool, warm, or neutral. Cool undertones tend to have pink, red, or bluish hues, while warm undertones have yellow, peach, or golden hues. Neutral undertones are a blend of both cool and warm undertones.

Once you've determined your skin tone and undertones, you can start choosing the right makeup shades. Here are some tips to help you get started:

Foundation

When choosing a foundation shade, it's important to test it on your jawline or neck to make sure it blends seamlessly with your skin tone. If you have cool undertones, look for shades with pink or red hues. If you have warm undertones, look for shades with yellow or golden hues. Neutral undertones can generally wear a range of shades.

Blush

Look for blush shades with pink or peach undertones for fair skin tones. Medium skin tones can try shades with coral or bronze undertones. Deep skin tones can go for shades with deep berry or plum undertones.

Lipstick

Fair skin tones can try shades with pink or nude undertones. Medium skin tones can go for shades with peach or coral undertones. Deep skin tones can try shades with deep red or berry undertones.

Eyeshadow

When it comes to eyeshadow, the shade options are endless! Try shades with pink, peach, or lavender undertones for fair skin tones. Medium skin tones can try shades with gold or bronze undertones. Deep skin tones can go for shades with deep plum or navy undertones.

Remember, makeup is all about expressing yourself and having fun while doing it. Don't be shy and experiment with different shades to find what works best for you. Happy beautifying!
