"Finding the right foundation color for your skin tone"
Well ladies, we already know they say there are three main skin tones; Fair, medium, and dark. The colors in foundations are a little more than complex than just three colors. You need to figure out the undertone of your skin, what needs highlighted, and what colors to avoid. I'm gonna start off with the Fair skin tones. These types of skin complexions work best with soft pink, tawny and beige tones. With a fair complexion it's important to remember to stay away from orangey colors. Moving onto Medium skin tones. This type of complexion is the easiest to match and can use the widest range of colors. Some makeup artist like to consider this complexion as an olive skin tone. There are many shades of olive, but most have a yellow under tone. If the under tone is yellow try to find a dewy shades of color with foundation names like caramel and honey. You don't want to end up with a muddy or orange brown color on your face so pick carefully. Now onto the dark tones. In this type of skin tone, the more spot on with foundation you have to be. You need to find a warm chocolate base and a red tone to counteract with your under tone. Well, hope you guys were able to learn something to help you find the perfect foundation! -JEL-
