Matching Foundation

Dec 20, 2012

I cannot for the life of me find a foundation I like. Undertones are a major issue for me. I've been told I'm cool, I'm warm and now I'm olive.

And the lack of variety of shades from the brand I like doesn't help either.

So, if I cant find the exact thing, how do I find the next best thing? Do I got lighter and contour. Do I go darker and highlight?

Or whatever else..

Thanks!

Hi Karen! Have you ever tried Mary Kay Foundation? They won an Essence beauty award for their Timewise liquid foundation. They also have a great variety of mineral foundations that my bronze clients actually love!
But with any foundation you try I would recommend matching in natural lighting followed by taking a picture outside so you can better see how it looks. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

First off you need to find out what undertones u have, if the veins on wrist are blue looking you are cool toned, if they are green then ur warm undertoned and if its hard to tell ur most likely neutral. Then go into sephora and ask for the help in matching a foundation

I'm not either of those I believe. Maybe my eyes decieve me but some spots are warm and some spots seem cool. In 2 years of makeup everything seems off. It's either too red, too yellow, I look ashy. Blah. :

I need to take a makeupless photo.
