In the old days, to choose the right foundation, it was necessary to go to the store and try several shades and test them in different lighting. At the same time, online shopping has made shopping easy, but choosing the right shade of your skin by looking at the screen is still a big challenge. However, nowadays, with the help of virtual try-on tools and better shade guides, you can find the perfect and natural looking foundation for you without any guesswork. However, even after all these beauty tips, girls are not able to find their perfect foundation shade.

How to choose the right foundation?

To choose the right shade, first you have to understand the difference between your skin tone and undertone. Skin tone is the external color of your skin, which can change due to sunlight. In contrast, undertone is the subtle color beneath the surface of your skin, which always remains the same. Often the undertone decides whether the foundation will blend completely on the face or the face will look strange and dull.

How to identify undertones for the right foundation?

You can identify your undertone with some easy methods while sitting at home. For this, look at the veins on your wrist, if the veins are blue or purple then your undertone is ‘cool’, and if green then it is ‘warm’. A mixture of the two results in a ‘neutral’ undertone. Apart from this, if silver jewelery looks good on you then you are of cool tone and if gold jewelery suits you then you are of warm tone. You can also detect the pink or yellow undertone of your complexion by placing a white cloth near your face.

How to choose foundation online?

The easiest way to do this is to use your existing foundation as a reference when shopping online. You can find similar shades from other brands by entering their shade and undertone details into online shade comparison tools. Also, when looking at shade charts online, do not rely solely on the pictures, but read the exact details carefully. For example, look at the words ‘cool’ for pinkish tones, ‘warm’ for golden tones, and ‘neutral’ for balanced tones.

Test in correct lighting

Nowadays, many beauty brands offer AI-based face scanning and digital shade-matching quizzes, which suggest the right option according to your skin. Lights also have great importance for making the right choice, always assess your skin in natural light, because artificial or bathroom lights change the color. Also, keep in mind that sheer or light foundations blend easily into the skin, but for full coverage foundation it is very important to have the exact shade.

Do not make these mistakes while buying foundation

There are some common mistakes to avoid when buying foundation online.

• Like, ignoring the undertone by looking only at the skin tone, or choosing a light shade to look fairer, due to which the face starts looking dull later.
• Additionally, some foundations oxidize and darken after coming in contact with air, so check this as well.
