You love foundation and concealer, but you don't want to risk looking like an orange. How do you find the perfect shade of these products for your skin? This article can help you!
Steps
Step 1. Use the samples to help you, and if you're unsure consult a salesperson
There are always people who are particularly specialized in the cosmetic departments.
Step 2. Don't be afraid to experiment with pickup trucks, you can also try them on your face
Step 3. If you can, go out in the sunlight, get the idea of the real color on your face, or ask a saleswoman for her opinion
And make sure he's not lying!
Step 4. Try to determine your true skin tone
- If your skin has reddish hues, you will likely opt for warm tones to contrast with your blush. Some cosmetic sellers sell green bases that are sure to counteract your redness. But be careful when you apply it, it risks discoloring, and of course you have to apply a foundation with a warm base. Don't forget the powder.
- If your skin has yellowish tones, you will probably opt for a cold-toned foundation, the tones are determined by the name of the color given to the foundation, sometimes there is also the letter that intensifies the tone of the foundation. If you shop at a cosmetics store, ask for pickup trucks, they will be happy to help you, and promise to come back and buy from them if you liked what you tried.
Step 5. Another tip for the concealer is to use one of a lighter color than your natural color
Your purpose is to brighten your eyes, not darken them. You may need a concealer to correct dark circles and a highlighter to brighten your eyes.
Step 6. When you think you've found the right color for you, buy it and use it
And don't forget your color, otherwise you'll have to do it all over again.
