Choosing the right shade of foundation-

A victim of too-light, vampire-like foundation at one point or another? No longer will that be the case. (That is, unless you want to attract the attention of the Halloween look.) As you begin to get more warmth from the Summer sun, you might need to switch your base shade to keep up with your complexion. Keep in mind, you do not use that same shade thoughout the whole life.


To learn more about selecting the perfect foundation for your skin tone, just keep reading. 

Your Undertones: Cool or Warm undertone?
First, you need to know your skin if it's cool or warm undertone.

Generally speaking, if you look better in silver jewelry and you burn or get a rosy-red tan (does not tan well) in the sun, you're probably a cool. 

If your skin looks more alive in gold jewelry or you tend to get a more golden tan, you're likely a warm.

And of course, you're a neutral if you seem to be a combination of the two. Luckily, foundations are labeled accordingly, taking the majority of the guesswork out. 

Here's a hint: most people are in the warmer skin-tone category. Very few has cool undertone.

Don't Think Pink:
Unless you're really fair or cool, anything with pink undertones is probably not going to work. For something more natural looking, a yellow-based foundation is likely to be a universally flattering choice, as most skin has yellow undertones.

TRY THESE STEPS : How to determine  your skin's undertone

1. In natural light, hold out your arm. If the veins on the inside of your elbow look green, you have warm undertones. Blue veins means cool.

2. Hold a piece of gold jewelry and a piece of silver jewelry up against your arm and see which one “pops” or looks better. Gold means warm and silver means cool.
3. Try on baby blue, white, cream, and rust colored clothing. Baby blue and white will look great on cools while cream and rust will look better on warms.

4. If you are really lucky everything looks good on you and you are a neutral. Lucky you!
