Find the right foundation color without getting color matched.

Getting the right shade is extremely difficult specially if you cant sample try the foundation, but there are ways to get right shade in any foundation you like whether is High End or Drugstore brand.

First things first, find your undertone. While the surface of your face will always change color due to many things but the most common will be sun exposure and acne, your undertone will always be the same. Therefore knowing the undertone is the key to finding the right shade for you.

Types of undertones:

  • Cool: your skin is pink, red or blue.
  • Warm: is more like a golden, peachy or yellow.
  • Neutral: this is a combination between both cool and warm.

Determining your undertone:

Turn your wrist around and take a look at you veins, if your veins have a olive or greenish color then your undertone is warm, if they have a purple or blue tone then you have cool undertone, lastly if you cant see the color of your veins or they have both green and blue this means that your undertone is neutral.

Now that we know what our undertone is we are gonna move up to skin types.

  • If your skin is oily you may want to choose matte finish foundation or use powder foundation.
  • For dry skin is best if you choose a hydrating cream under a stick foundation.
  • If you have sensitive skin you need to get a foundation that is hypoallergenic foundation, for example
  • Urban Decay all Nighter, Chanel VITALUMIÈRE AQUA, Neutrogenea Healthy Skin.
  • If you have combination skin it is best for you to use any foundation either liquid, powder or cream as long as it has some type of SPF in it.
  • For uneven complexions choose a foundation that has a medium to full coverage.

Now comes the part everyone has been wayting for, the right shade.

Cool Undertone: choose a foundation shade that have a base of red, blue or rose.
Warm Undertone: choose a foundation that have a yellow or gold base.
Neutral Underone: choose shades like buff, ivory, or nude.
