Thanks to the beauty community, the internet is full of videos and images showing swatches of foundations on skin. If necessary you can always deepen the finish with a dusting of bronzer – it’s a lot easier to do this than to lighten a shade that’s too dark, as this usually means it loses its pigment and coverage.

Stuck between two shades? Always go for the lighter one – foundation oxidises on skin which means it always ends up slightly darker than it appears to begin with. Whether you mix two foundation shades, dilute the pigment with a moisturiser, amp it up with concealer, or use a primer to add glow, remember that you can tailor your shade to perfectly match your skintone. Especially as (if you tan), one shade won’t suit you all year. Customise your shadeĭon’t rule out mixing it up – literally. Alternatively, opt for medium-coverage, which you can choose to sheer out for a natural finish or build up for stronger coverage. However if you suffer from redness, breakouts, scarring, or pigmentation, you probably want to opt for a full-coverage foundation that cann help to conceal imperfections and create a completely even complexion. Some prefer a lightweight, barely-there coverage that subtly enhances and lets natural skin show through.
Skin with blue veins and a rosy-pink tint sits on the cool side of the spectrum, whereas skin with a yellow/golden tone and greenish veins is warm, and those who consider themselves to sit in between the two would be neutral-toned. Identifying whether your skin is cool-, neutral-, or warm-toned is the key to making the perfect colour match. And if your skin is blemish-prone? Choose light, mineral-based formulas which will be kind to skin. Skin prone to dry, flaky patches? Reach for a hydrating and luminous formula – many will also contains added antioxidants and nutrients to improve moisture levels. Is your T-zone an oil slick by noon? Hell yes, then you’re gonna want to opt for a long-wear, mattifying foundation, and avoid oil-based ones (look for ‘aqua’ in the first few ingredients to make sure it’s water-based).
