Shopping for the perfect foundation can be a challenge for most people, and so many settle for the wrong one. It’s when you find one you like – in terms of feel, application, ingredients – but you just can’t seem to find the right tone. Finding the perfect foundation is tough business and even more challenging to find the one that checks all the boxes when it comes to preferences for ingredients.

Everyone deserves to feel beautiful in their own skin. Makeup should enhance their natural beauty and empower them to express themselves, not cause stress and insecurities (as traditional approaches to makeup can often lead to). I’m here to put an end to all of this so you can meet your match!

Determine Your Needs

Before we get started, there’s a few things that you’ll need to know to help narrow down all of options available online, try to first identify exactly what you need.

Think about what finish (like matte, natural or luminous) you like and what level of coverage you want (light, medium, or full). It’s also crucial to know your what your skin type is. Is your face an oil slick by the afternoon? Is your skin prone to dryness? Do you have sensitive skin? This can be more difficult than it seems, so don’t be afraid to reach out to me if you need help!

What is Your Undertone?

Knowing whether your skin is cool, warm, or neutral-toned is key to finding your perfect color match. Not sure? Check out my post: 8 Steps to Determine Your Skin Tone. Many foundations on the market are labeled “neutral,” “warm,” or “cool,” so once you’ve figured out your undertone it’ll be a lot easier to pick the right color.

When in doubt, test them out

Once you have a good understanding of your wants, desires, and needs, it’s time to shop for the perfect foundation! And BTW, the inner wrist or the hand is not actually be the best place to color-match your foundations!! To get your closest match, you should swatch your foundations on your neck or jawline, which delivers a more precise match. Better yet, have the foundation applied to your entire face and try it out. Wear it for as long as you can to get a good feel for it. This is WHY it is important to find someone like me to assist you in the process 😉
