How to Choose the Right Foundation Shade

Choosing the right foundation can often feel like telling baby chicks apart. If you’ve ever had one shade suit you in the store, a completely different one under the sun, and yet another one at home, finding a middle ground can be quite tricky.

Here’s how you can buy a HD Dual Camouflage foundation that’ll rest upon your skin tone like a second skin.

Check Your Undertone

Your skin undertone is the color you can see beneath the surface of your skin, and it totally affects your overall complexions. Thus, you need to factor it into your foundation choice.

 

Typically, undertones fall under three large categories: neutral, warm, and cool. Here’s how you can tell the three apart.

 

·        Warm

If you’re warm, you’ll probably never sustain sunburns, get darker under the sun, and have hints of brown, gold, and red across your skin.

·        Neutral

Take a look at the veins on your wrist. Can you tell what color they are? If not, you probably have a neutral undertone. Another telling sign is if you get darker under the sun and sustain sunburns.

·        Cool

In addition to being sunburn magnets, those with a cool undertone usually turn a mild to angry shade of red under the sun. They also have bits of pink, purple, and blue under the surface of their skin.

Swatch Test on Your Face

The back of your hand may be lighter than your face. Conversely, your forearm could very well be darker than your facial tone. In other words, none of the two are the best places to swatch.

 

Before you reach for some other equally unsuitablepart of your body, might we suggest you go with the part that’ll be getting the foundation?

 

Apply the foundation from cheek to neck and let it settle for a bit. Since it’s likely to oxidize and get darker with time, go with a shade that’s a tone lighter than your facial skin. Give it a few minutes, and only then decide if this is your shade.

Go with Houdini

Sometimes, applying foundation is all about correcting and smoothing out blotchy facial skin. It can cover the imperfections and blemishes on your skin and give you an even tone, provided that tone belongs to your skin in the first place.

 

Thus, the best kind of foundation is not one that gives you fairer or darker skin; it smooths out your imperfections and disappears into your natural tone.
