How to choose your foundation

When choosing your foundation, you need to know your undertone as well as your shade.

Your shade is about how light and dark your skin is. This can vary throughout the year, depending on exposure to sunlight, which is why many women need at least two foundations. In the summer your skin will be darker than in the winter.

Your undertone is fixed. It is an underlying pigmentation of your skin, behind the shade of melanin. Beneath your specific skin shade lies a subtle hue of one of the following undertones:

• Cool: Pink, red or blue undertones

• Warm: Yellow or golden undertones

• Neutral: A balance between both cool and warm

How can you find your undertone?

The easiest way is to compare contrast your skin against other colors:

1. The White Vs. Cream Test: Towels are good for this. Grab two towels, one white and the other off-white. While wearing NO makeup, decide which color complements your skin tone best. If it's the pure-white shade, your undertones are cool. If the cream color looks better, then you have warm undertones. If both flatter you just the same, you're neutral. Your wardrobe will give you a hint too - if you look better in blues and greens, you have a cool undertone; if you look better in reds and yellows, you have a warm undertone.

2. The Vein Test: Look at the veins on your wrists. If they're green, then you have warm undertones. If your veins are blue, then you have cool undertones. Do you have both colors or do they appear to be blue-green? Then you have neutral undertones.

3. The Jewellery Test: If gold jewelry enhances your complexion, then you're likely on the warmer side. If silver jewelry looks best on your skin tone, then you have cool undertones.
