Many women need help determining their skin's undertones. Our foundations come in cool, warm, neutral, and olive undertones and have been specially formulated to match your skin tone exactly. You won't find such color matching precision in the drugstore. Let's discuss how to choose the foundation that's just right for you.
- Do you have pink, red, blue, or violet undertones?

- Women with olive/green undertones usually have Mediterranean or Middle Eastern heritage.

- Do not try to correct your undertone with a non-matching foundation. Foundations should always match your undertone and will be the most flattering for you. Since foundation is only applied to your face, it must match the skin tone of your neck. This will give your face the most natural, complementary look. If you want to color correct certain elements of your face, i.e. undereye circles or rosacea, then do so with concealers and correctors. You can also add warmth through a bronzer or try a different blush.
- Test your new foundation in natural sunlight and after about 10-15 minutes of wearing it. The color will "warm up" to your skin and be its true color after a little bit of time.
- Knowledge about the true undertone of your skin will help you not only in your makeup selections, but also with what clothing colors to wear, hair color to choose, and jewelry color to use.
