Skin tone or complexions are divided into three categories - light, medium and dark. Every skin has an undertone. Unlike the skin tone, it does not change. Indian skin undertones range from cool, warm to neutral undertones. Identify your undertone:
Cool: People who have a cool undertone, their veins look purple or blue.
Warm: People who have a warm undertone have green or olive coloured veins
Neutral: If you cannot determine which colour is dominant in your veins then you have a neutral undertone.
After identifying your undertone choosing the right foundation shade or colour strength is important, which may vary from light to medium to deep shade. You can choose transition shades for your skin tone that vary from light to medium or medium to deep.
1. Identify your perfect shade by swatch method, which you can try on your neck or your jawline. It is ok if it is a shade lighter than your skin tone. If you cannot differentiate between your real skin and the colour of the product, it is your perfect match. It is smart to apply the shade before buying on a small part of your face and leave it on for some time. It helps to check for oxidation because of incorrect shade selection.
2. Your undertones are important in the process of selecting your shade. For warm undertones, select a colour that has yellow undertones, while for cool undertones, a pink undertone works best.
3. If you like light makeup then a full coverage foundation will feel heavy.
4. Adjusting your foundations to the season is important. A matte foundation would be preferable in summer to avoid sweating.
Save your money and make the right choice that makes you feel great and also one that works perfectly well in your makeup routine.
