Choosing a liquid foundation shade to match your natural skin tone is a key step in creating a natural makeup effect.
1. Determine the warmth or coolness of your skin tone
First, determine whether your skin tone is cool, warm, or neutral. Observe the color of the blood vessels on the inside of your wrist. If the blood vessels are blue or purple, you have cool skin; if they are green or olive, you have warm skin; if they are both, you have neutral skin. In addition, the effect of wearing gold and silver jewelry is also a basis for judgment. Silver is more suitable for cool skin, and gold is more suitable for warm skin.
2. Choose the tone of the color number
Choose the tone of the liquid foundation according to the warmth or coolness of your skin tone. Cold skin is suitable for pink liquid foundation, warm skin is suitable for yellow liquid foundation, and neutral skin can choose according to personal preference.
3. Consider the depth of skin tone
The "one white" and "two white" in the color number indicate the depth of skin tone. Generally speaking, people with lighter skin are suitable for the "one white" color number, and people with darker skin are suitable for "two white" or darker colors.
4. How to test the color
Test the color at the junction of the mandible and neck, not on the back of the hand or wrist. Because the skin color here is closer to the face, it can more accurately reflect the degree of match between the liquid foundation and the skin color.
5. Avoid false white phenomenon
When testing the color, avoid choosing a color that is too white to avoid the false white phenomenon with obvious color difference between the face and the neck. It is more natural to choose a color that is close to or slightly darker than the skin color.
6. Consider seasonal changes
Seasonal changes will also affect the depth of skin color. In summer, the skin color may be darker, so you can choose a slightly darker color; in winter, the skin color may be lighter, so you can choose a slightly lighter color.
7. Professional consultation and makeup trial
If you are not sure how to choose the color number, you can consult a professional makeup artist or beauty consultant. They will provide you with professional advice based on your skin color, skin type and makeup needs. In addition, you can also try makeup at the counter before purchasing to ensure that the selected color number is the most suitable for you.
