How to Find the Right Foundation?

If you're someone who's just started dipping their toes into the vast expanse of the glam up sea, don't worry! Your quest for the Right Foundation ends with this blog. 

Following this step-to-step guide will lead you to your perfect foundation match.

1. Know Your Skin Tone:

It is the first step towards creating that flawless makeup look. Check if your skin complexion is fair, light, medium, or deep, under the natural light. If you have an uneven skin tone, don’t worry! Your jawline will serve as the reference point for the swatches.

2. Know Your Undertone:



To get that seamless look with your foundation, understand what your undertone is. Undertone is the natural color that's underneath your skin. 

There are three undertones: cool, warm, and neutral. You can know your undertone by checking the color of your veins in the natural light or with the kind of jewellery that glams you up.

3. Desired level of coverage:

Not every occasion calls for the same finish, so, an understanding of the desired coverage level is of the utmost importance. For an everyday no-makeup makeup look, choose a light or sheer foundation. 

To cover all your blemishes, spots, and pigmentation, choose a full coverage foundation and be the highlight of the party. A medium coverage foundation gives you the freedom to build up to your desired look.

4. Swatch the Shades: 

   Take the two-three foundation shades that you selected and swatch them on your jawline streaking your cheek and neck both. Go for the tint that feels one with your skin in the natural light.

Pro-Tip: Be Patient when Swatching

Be patient when swatching the foundation shades, as they oxidise from the body heat. Wait for around 5-10 minutes to see how it will actually look after oxidation. 

Takeaway

To lay a strong foundation to a flawless makeup look, the right choice of foundation is essential. Choose the correct shade through the knowledge of your skin tone, undertone, and desired level of coverage.
