Makeup Tip-Bit of the week: How to match the right colour foundation for your skin: Tip 1) The trick is to first determine if you are pale, medium, or dark. Once you know your skin tone, use the bottle shade name as a guideline. *Pale skin: Tends to have some redness, so it’s best to stay away from pink-toned foundation shades. Look for a hue labelled beige or buff to neutralize ruddiness. *Medium skin: Light beige, olive, or tan complexions with warm undertones. Asian skin also falls into this category since it has a lot of yellow in it. Stick with shades labelled warm, medium, or golden. *Dark skin: Can range from as light as café au lait to as deep as ebony. To prevent a greyish cast, go for colours like tan, sable, or chestnut. Tip 2) Swipe three possible matches on your lower cheek or jawline (the shade should closely match your neck as well as your face). Take a mirror and head toward a window or go outside so you can see the hues in natural light. The one that fades into your skin without much blending is the right shade for you.
