The Right Foundation

Choosing the right shade and formula for your foundation can be a lot of hard work and could seem like a guessing game but it doesn't have to, keep reading to make finding your right shade a bit easier.

Some foundations have a pink undertone, while others have a yellow undertone. To detect which undertone you have I would suggest to be by a window. Florescent light can make your face seen one color while outside you can seen another. Now, see if you can pin point your undertone. If you notice golden or yellow tones you are warm toned.  If you notice pinks or blues you are a cool toned. Sometimes you can't distinguished, if so you might be of neutral toned.  

I say go with a shade that matches close to your chest.  My face and neck are a tad bit darker than my body, so if I were to apply my foundation based on my face only you would be able to tell I'm wearing foundation. 

When I first began wearing foundation I noticed there was something off. In the mirror I looked fine but when I was out and about something didn't seem right.  I looked darker but that wasn't the problem, I looked closely and my face was pink and my chest was yellowish. It was then that I realized that I was of yellow tone. The L'oreal true match foundation is one that varies in shades and undertones, so it makes it much easier to find your perfect shade.  It also provides coverage that is build-able without feeling like you have a lot of makeup on.

TIP:
If your foundation is to light not a problem, dust your bronzer around your face this will fix that problem right up.

TIP:
If your foundation is too dark, use light concealer in the areas where you would "highlight" (under the eyes, chin, forehead, bridge of the noise, under your jaw ) or just leave them bare and just apply concealer leaving the other areas as a contour, which will bring out the hollows of your cheeks and frame your forehead and jawline.

TIP:
Always bring your foundation down your neck and make sure to blend around your hairline. This way your body and face are one shade.
