Skin tone question??

Aug 22, 2013

I have a dilemma.. I think my face has pink undertones and my neck has yellow. It also occurs through out my body pink and yellow. I know I should probably use a neutral but every where I go they match me with the wrong color foundation.. What should I do? Or does anyone know a good neutral foundation with semi medium coverage that's not to cakey and is neutral? High end preferably in the US.

Estée Lauder foundations have neutral shades. Invisible fluid makeup is one of their lighter formulas.

Can you tell which is more prominent, pink or yellow? Choose the more prominent undertones and make sure to request foundations with that undertone, hopefully then you can get a good match? Good luck.

I don't really think your body has multiple different undertones. Most people think their face has pink undertones because of your natural blush colour and how sun damage has made your skin a bit more red compared to the rest of your body. For me my face looks more pink compared to my body which looks a bit yellowish, but that doesn't mean I have different undertones. Look at the veins on your eyelids and your wrist and see if they're blue or green. Blue = cool and green = warm. Hold up gold and silver jewelery to your skin. Gold = warm, silver = cool. If you can't really tell then you probably have a neutral undertone. I would suggest maybe going to Sephora and get their new skin IQ thing done to match a foundation to your skin. Also, the foundation you say is matched wrong to your skin colour might not be true. The foundation might be oxidizing on your skin which makes it change colour because of the oils on your skin. Try a primer underneath. You can also try a green corrector under your foundation to balance out the pinkness in your face. I hope this helps.
