1. Find Your Undertone Color The first thing you want to do is determine if your complexion has warm (yellow), cool (pink) or neutral undertones. One trick is to look at the veins in your wrist—if they appear blue or purple, you’re cool; green or olive, you’re warm and if they’re a mix of both, you’re neutral.
2. Select Your Desired Coverage Amount Do you want full, medium, partial or sheer coverage? How much of your natural skin do you want to show through your foundation? You’ll find foundation colors in all different types of coverage, so decide what finish you like best.
3. Test it out — Does it look natural? Once you’ve determined your tone, pick out a few colors to try. Make sure you test the foundations along your jawline in several lighting environments The right color of foundation will essentially disappear onto your skin. That’s your match! For people with richer skin tones, match to the center of your T-zone—the area around your forehead, nose and mouth.
4. Create Your Custom Color If you’re having trouble deciding between two similar shades, I recommend you go with the lighter option because you can always add a little custom color with a slightly darker foundation of the same time, or warm up your face with contouring, bronzer, or blush.
