Tips for Choosing the Right Undertone and Formula
Undertone plays a major role in how foundation looks on your skin. A shade that’s too cool or too warm can leave you looking ashy or orange—even if it seems like the right depth. Here’s a quick guide:
- Cool undertoneshave hints of pink, red, or blue. Veins often appear blue, and silver jewelry tends to complement the skin.
- Warm undertoneslean golden or peachy. Veins appear green, and gold jewelry flatters the complexion.
- Neutral undertoneshave a mix of both and tend to look good in both gold and silver.
After identifying your undertone, consider your skin type. If you’re prone to breakouts or sensitivity, opt for a non-comedogenic foundation that won’t clog pores or cause irritation. These formulas are especially great for combination or oily skin and offer breathable, buildable coverage that still looks radiant.
