How to choose the right foundation for your skin!

With the current number of shades, finishes and coverage options available, the "perfect foundation" is one of the most difficult makeup purchases. The ultimate goal is a foundation that looks better than your own skin. Here are our 3 tips you should take into account when choosing a new foundation.

1. Know your skin

2. Determine your undertone

WARM UNDERTONE
Warmer types often have a yellower skin tone with greenish veins on the inside of the wrist or in the neck.

COOL UNDERTONE
You have a cool undertone if you have a rosy skin tone with blue veins on the inside of the wrist or in the neck.

NEUTRAL UNDERTONE
Do you have teal veins? Then you have a neutral undertone and you can have both undertones.

3. Choose the right color

Always test the foundation tint on your face if possible and let it dry. If you have makeup on and don't want to remove it, test it on your jawline. A foundation can sometimes oxidize the longer you wear it, which means it can darken a shade. In that case it's always better to choose a foundation that's a little lighter than a foundation that's too dark.
