Which Foundation Is Best For Your Skin?
Choosing the right face foundation formula depends on certain factors like your skin type. If you have dry skin, we suggest using liquid foundation, as it easily blends. Those with oilier skin types, should prefer cream foundations that could help harmonize unwanted shine. At the end of the day, choosing the foundation formula totally depends on your personal choices and needs.
Know Your Foundation Shade
While choosing foundation, you must keep in mind that your skin tone and undertone matter a lot. For that,
Consider your skin tone
It is advised to match the foundation shade closest to your skin tone to prevent a greyish and orangish look.
- FAIR- Very Light Skin Tone
- LIGHT- Slightly Pale Skin Tone
- MEDIUM- Tan or caramel brown
- DARK - Rich brown or dark deep tone
Consider Your Undertone
Considering your undertone is an important step while choosing the foundation. To know, take a look at the veins of your hand. If your veins appear greenish then you are warm-toned, choose shades like warm honey or sand. If your veins appear bluish or purplish then you have a cool undertone , go for shades like ivory or fair. If you have a mix of both color veins, then you have a neutral undertone.
