The right undertone in your foundation ensures that your skin does not turn orange or gray.An important step is therefore to know the undertone of your skin, classified into three types: Cool, Warm or Neutral No matter how much your skin color can change, from being in the sun or even a spray tan, everyone has a consistent undertone. Knowing what it is will make choosing makeup easier. Check your neckFirst, look at the color of your neck and décolleté.Why?Your face and shoulders get much more sun exposure and the skin tone therefore varies throughout the year.This makes it harder to determine your true undertone based on these areas. The neck and décolleté offer a much better undertone. Look at the veins in your wrist. You can also look at the veins in your wrist. This may sound strange, but it is effective.Your vein color shows your authentic, natural skin tones, making it a way to determine your undertone. Hold your hand up to your face and look at your wrist. What obvious color are your veins?Purple or blueGreener (maybe even a little yellow)Neither (in between) Knowing this, read on to discover your perfect color match. Cool undertone (pink or rosy) Does this sound like you: Like a 'true royal', your veins are purple or blue In the summer, you often use sunscreen - because your skin burns easily Your skin doesn't really tan - that's why you love a touch of bronzer on your cheeks Your eyes are blue, gray, or green Your hair is blonde, brown, or black If this sounds familiar, it's likely that you have a cool undertone, which is important for knowing how to find the right foundation color. With less melanin in the skin, your skin has a soft, sometimes peach or porcelain appearance. What someone with a cool undertone can best wear and/or avoidWith a cool undertone, neutral and light colors with a rosy undertone will highlight your radiant, natural beauty.Avoid overly yellow or dark shades that can give an uncomfortable, orange color to your beautiful complexion. A suitable selection for a Cool undertone: Cool FoundationsCool BlushesCool Bronzers Warm undertones (Olive to yellow) Does this sound like you: Your veins are green or even a little yellowish Your skin doesn't burn easily, even if you're in the sun for a short time, you tan quickly You have amber or brown eyes Your hair is 'strawberry blonde', chestnut brown or black If this sounds familiar, you probably have a warm undertone. This means you have higher levels of melanin in your skin, allowing you to tan easily in the sun. What someone with a warm undertone can best wear and/or avoidAs someone with a warm undertone, you'll look fantastic in espresso-like shades (think delicious café latte or cappuccino) and shades with a yellow or golden base, giving you a sunny glow. Avoid dark copper shades, which tend to look more orange. A suitable selection for a Warm undertone: Warm FoundationsWarm BlushesWarm Bronzers Neutral undertone (None of the above, exactly in the middle) Perhaps none of the above descriptions apply to you. You don't tan easily, but your skin doesn't burn easily either.Moreover, you did the vein test and found that your veins had an intermediate color. This is not a bad sign! It just means you're neutral. In fact, with fewer underlying colors to consider, neutral undertones have the easiest time finding the perfect foundation. A suitable selection for a Neutral undertone: Neutral FoundationsNeutral BlushesNeutral Bronzers Step 2: Choose makeup for your color Now that you have a better idea of what makeup will look fantastic on your face, you can start testing colors based on the results. Do you know if you have light, medium, or tinted skin? Then choose a few colors to order in sample size (ideally 2-3) of the makeup that matches your skin tone, determined above. Try mineral magic Step 3: How to test makeup colors at home Once the sample selection of makeup has arrived, you can start testing which color is your perfect match. If you have chosen multiple colors, you are more likely to find your match: Put a quantity of powder into the lid of the jar (first remove the label on the sifter lid inside the jar). Dip the bristles of the kabuki brush into the powder with a swirling motion and apply it to the jawline. If necessary, give the minerals some time to blend with the skin. If the color blends beautifully with your skin tone, you have a match. Watch the handy instruction video here to find your perfect match! The most common mistake when applying makeup foundation Foundation should be so natural that it's not noticeable. (That's why knowing your undertone is so important.)Even if you want to be more tanned or 'more' of a certain shade, applying that 'dream color' won't give the desired look. That foundation will look fake and too obvious. Instead, we encourage you to embrace that beautiful complexion you have. The color of your skin is absolutely perfect. How to find the right foundation color? Just look for makeup that will enhance its beauty. Question! Do I need different makeup for different seasons? If you tan particularly easily, your skin may have a completely different tint from summer to winter. One method is to try a few colors. One might fit better in winter - and the other when the sun starts to shine again.If you're in between, some enthusiastic makeup users will combine the colors - mixing a little from both jars to get exactly the right middle color. Fortunately, mineral makeup colors are very forgiving because the powder adapts to your skin. You can probably use one color today and another tomorrow - both will adapt to your skin as long as the makeup has the right undertone! Remember?
