#Color match it cosmetics skin#
You examine your skin in natural light while wearing a white t-shirt, and your undertone will present itself against the contrast of the pure white. Instead, we prefer this hack, straight from makeup artist Sheri Stroh: Well, there are a few “hacks.” You’ve no doubt heard of the dreaded wrist vein trick the one where you look at the veins in your wrist, and if they appear green, you have a warm undertone, and if they appear blue you have a cool undertone.īut, like most tips for identifying your undertone, this doesn’t always work. How do we figure out what our “undertone” even is? And once we know it, are we supposed to find a foundation that matches our undertone? Or that counteracts it?īeauty experts and graphics make this seem so easy, like this:īut how do I KNOW if I’m a “warm beige” or a “natural tan,” other than just staring at myself in the mirror and guessing?
The word “undertone” is a howling nightmare. Use this trick to identify your undertone. We mostly stay away from drugstore foundations for this reason.Ģ. You’re better off spending a little more on something that better matches your skin tone, with a formula that you truly love, and with a way to test the color first. Then the cycle starts again, and we do this over and over until we’ve wasted hundreds of dollars on foundations that just…aren’t great.ĭrugstore foundations purport to save you money, but they don’t.
So we buy multiple at a time, hate all of them, and never use them again. But there’s no way to sample them in the drugstore, like at Sephora or a department store. Drugstore foundations are kiiiiind of a scam.
