Liquid foundation color

Makeup is a very technical thing, and different methods can make some people look like a different person after putting on makeup, and they are radiant and beautiful. But if your makeup skills are not good, it will not help much in improving your appearance. Foundation is the basis of makeup. You should choose the right color according to your skin so that it can be well combined with subsequent makeup. So, how do you choose the color of liquid foundation?

Skin color is the basis for selecting foundation color. The colors in this world can basically be divided into "cool tones" and "warm tones".

There is a dividing line in the center of the disc. The left side is the warm tone (yellowish), and the right side is the cool tone (bluish). Learning to distinguish tones is very useful for makeup beginners.

If we look more closely at skin tones, they are generally divided into three categories: warm, cool, and neutral.

2.1 Cool tones

People with cool skin tones may have a slight pink, red, or blue tint to their skin.

Characteristics of a “cool” complexion:

①The blood vessels at the wrist are blue or purple;

②Silver jewelry complements your skin tone better than gold;

③ Your skin appears blue or red in the sun.

2.2 Natural Tone

People with natural skin tones have skin that is neither pink, red, blue nor yellow, gold, or peach, but somewhere in between.

Characteristics of a “Natural Tone” complexion:

①The blood vessels on the wrist are blue-green;

②Both silver and gold jewelry will suit your skin tone;

③Your skin appears green in the sun.

2.3 Warm colors

People with warm skin tones may have a slight yellow, golden or peachy tint to their skin.

Characteristics of a “warm” complexion:

①The blood vessels on the wrist are light green or olive;

②Gold jewelry goes better with your skin than silver;

③Your skin appears yellowish in the sun.

Choice of liquid foundation:

Cool tones: Reddish skin (choose a cool-toned foundation)

Warm tones: yellowish skin (choose a warm-toned foundation)

Choose the shade of foundation

Once you’ve found the right tone, you should choose a foundation with the corresponding tone. People with warm skin tones use yellow-toned foundation, and people with cool skin tones use pink-toned foundation!

Since each foundation has a different shade, makeup artists can apply a small amount of foundation on the side of the face to test the color before applying foundation to the customer.

The most suitable depth is the one that blends with your own skin tone.
