right me too so you have green bays and

oh oh no
this does not suit me this is not it
here are the common practices to find
your foundation undertone stain test
and gold jewelry thursday's silver
jewelry test
after test you might develop a sense of
what undertone you might have however
when you test the foundation based on
the undertone it always doesn't match
today i'm going to talk about how to
find your foundation undertones step by
step and
at the end of the videos if you follow
all the steps you can finally find your
undertone which you can use as a
reference whenever you shop online
or offline first i'd like to briefly
give you all
introduction on undertones
undertones are skin hues and which are
the colors beneath the surface of the
skin
you shouldn't confuse with skin tone
which is how light or
dark your skin is undertones are
considered as the skin tone's color
temperature
there are three primary colors in your
skin undertone
red yellow and blue with the inclusion
of black and white you could essentially
make any color when we combine primary
colors
along with white you can create colors
that are replicate our skin skew
there are four undertone colors warm
cool
neutral and olive let's discuss each of
them
if the base of your skin is yellow or
gold you have warm undertones
if you see hints of blue red or pink
within your skin
you have cool undertones
if there is a mixture of both warm and
cool hues then you have
neutral undertones
if you see green pigments in your skin
you have olive undertones which can be
broken down into
warm cool or neutral or lip undertones
now we have sense of idea what
undertones are less deep uncommon myths
about them
first fair-skinned people can have warm
undertones
this is false if you have fair or light
skin you could still have
warm undertones second myth is people of
color
can have cool undertones this is also
false if you are a person of color you
could still have cool undertone as well
oftentimes especially asian assume there
are warm tones
just because their skin is yellow but is
not always the case
when you take a look at the yellow and
blue primary colors
it is easy to see yellow is warm
compared to other colors
but if you compare this lemon yellow
versus golden yellow
you can definitely see which one is
warmer and cooler
it's all relative so if you're asian you
could still have cool
or neutral undertones third myth is
people only have
one undertone although there's some
truth to this this is not entirely true
while some people have vulnerable tones
most people cannot be
categorized under a single undertone you
should see this more as a spectrum for
example you can be in between
warm and neutral undertones or defined
as a percentage
like 30 percent warm and 70
neutral if you're a person of color you
will be more likely
have different facial undertone let me
give you an example
here is beautiful iman the outer rubber
face
is darker than the rest of her face and
has a neutral undertone leaning cooler
side
however the center of her face is
lighter
and warmer because of the different
shades it is tricky to determine her
undertones whether it's warm cool or
neutral
how we actually find our skin undertones
best way
is comparison with your friends this is
what i learned from
a blog post which is written like 11
years ago
it's gonna be really helpful to
understand this exercise
so first prepare some pictures of you
with your friends
or other people and compare your skin
tone with
each of them if you look at the picture
with my friend charlotte you might guess
i have warm undertones because i look
warmer than her
i think i look kind of green as well so
from seeing this picture we can guess i
have olive
with warm undertones and moving on to
next picture
if you look at this picture with judy
you can see my skin tone is definitely
warmer than her
fur her face looks a lot pinker and
cooler than me
but if you see this picture you can see
divia
has more of a golden undertones whereas
i look
more neutral from looking at all this
picture i can say i have
neutral warm olive undertones which
sounds very complicated
so it's so hard for me to find a perfect
match foundation
so now we have sense of idea what
undertone we might have
from comparisons now let's move on to
how to find the perfect mesh using a
product you already own
before we test the product visit the
brand's website and read the description
of your shade
to determine is undertone sometimes
brain label their
shade names with undertones like c four
co
w for one and n for neutral if the
packaging is not
well labeled and the product undertone
is not found on the brand website
google your products and find swatches
which will allow you to compare
different products from different brands
in the case when you don't have
different undertone foundation
we can create the shade by mixing
different products
so first when your foundation is too
pink and you're a person with
warm undertones your initial reaction
may be making warmer without yellow but
when you mix
a tint of yellow and pink the result
will be a tinted orange which will
create
an unnatural skin color instead you will
want to neutralize the pink
the implement of pink would be a green
so
you should add a touch of green then see
if this new mix matches the skin
after you neutralize the red if you
still need to add the worms
start adding warm bronzer or any warm
colored makeup products
second case is your foundation is too
yellow and you want to make it more
cool or neutral if you have purple base
makeup product
or corrector mix it with foundation and
neutralize that yellowness first
and see how it looks on your skin if you
want to make it more
pink or red add a red or pink lipstick
or cream blush
in the case you have olive skin and your
foundation is too yellow
you should add a hint of purple to
neutralize the yellow first
and add that green corrector or any base
maker product to make it more
olive keep your color wheel nearby
and get family yourself with opposite or
complementary colors this will really
helpful to
like train your eyes to see which color
you should add or not
i created this color wheel and you can
download it for free
through the link on the description box
as well once you finally create your
perfect match shade now you can use it
as a reference
whenever you shop online or offline
if you are going to shop offline whether
it's a drugstore or any makeup store
you can just use this as a reference and
compare it products that you want to buy
until you find
a similar match or perfect match if you
are shopping online
try to take a similar picture as much
as you can under natural light and
compare with shades
on the brand's website or shade
comparison like
swatches pictures so these are all about
finding your foundation undertone and it
can be applied to
concealer as well if you keep practicing
and training your eyes you can
end up finding your perfect match much
easier
