So we all know, walking into any Boots or Superdrug, there’s a number of different brands of foundations with different TYPES of foundation and different SHADES of foundation!
It can all get a bit too much amiright?!
So, we need to take it back to basics so we can see the wood for the trees and more importantly stop wasting money on products that don’t suit us.
We begin with our skin
What’s your skin like? Is it dry? Oily? Both?
Your skin type will determine what type foundation is most suitable for you.
Let’s break it down.
Now we’ve covered what types of foundation is best for your skin type, how do we know what shade we should wear?
This all depends on your skin tone.
Put simply, skin tone can be broken down into warm, cool and neutral. A good example of this can be seen below.
You should choose a foundation that matches your skin colour, choose 1 neutral, 1 warm and 1 cool tone and swatch them on your jawline down towards your neck.
We match to our neck and not our face because we might have redness in our cheeks or areas where the skin is an uneven tone.
The shade that disappears and blends super well is your shade. If you can see the foundation on top of the skin, it’s not the right shade for you.
I do hope this has been some help in breaking it down a litttle bit. Let me know if you have any success from this information and happy shopping!
