Finding the ideal foundation color is often a difficult task. You are constantly faced with different colors and tones and find it difficult to choose which one is most suitable for your skin. The most common action that many women do is the test on the back of the hand. Unfortunately, this is not always the best way to choose the one that really fits.
Thankfully, a trick that only costs you 2 seconds is supposed to coincide with finding the perfect tonality your skin needs. Everything you need to focus on is the wrist. What color are your veins? If the veins are olive, it means that you have warm skin tones. If the veins are blue, it means that the skin tones are pink. And if you have veins of both colors, it means you have neutral skin. If you know your skin tone well, then it is very simple to adjust the foundation to it.
It is very important to distinguish between skin tone and its shade (the color that the skin has under the surface and that affects the overall quality of its tonality.) According to make up artist Michelle Phan, skin tone is usually determined by the way how the skin adapts to sunlight. This, in essence, can indicate light, medium or dark tones. While the shade represents the true color of the skin, which is something that never changes, no matter the season.
People with warm shades tend to look good with gold foundation, ie yellow base. While cool skin tones should match the pink colors. If you are neutral then you are somewhere in the middle. Try nuances and nude.
The best way to find the correct foundation is under the jaw (neither on the hand nor on the face). This is because there is the right skin tone. Here you can try some foundation tones, which notice that they match the skin color you have.
