Hello Smiley! You are a beautiful young lady, sorry to hear that you are experiencing trouble finding the correct color foundation. I definately understand that being a woman of color myself :(
But here is what you need to do to definately match the right color with your olive tone:
** The correct way to match foundation to skin is to apply DIRECTLY AT THE JAW BONE. This is the spot on your face that gives the real color of the skin. Comparing on the cheeks or forehead will result in the wrong match because no one has completely even-tone skin. You will most always end up with a color that is too light or too dark comparing in this fashion.
Take a friend with you if you are going to a local pharmacy or beauty supply store. You can also go to a department store and have a professional consultant match you with the correct foundation color. Make sure they are checking at the jawbone ( use your friend as the second eye).
Following the above steps will defingately give you the proper color for your skin tone!! Good Luck!How do i find the best shade for my foundation?
www.christinacosmetics.com - the one for darker skins
you can look into Iman's line of cosmetics
wow. you look nothing like your avatar!
okay. so here's what you do. read very carefully.
Go to a MAC stand or store in the mall and tell an employee you need a light liquid foundation or whatever kind you use. They will test different shades on your face so you can see what works best.The foundation is around $30 depending on what kind you get. Even though the price may seem high compared to drug store prices it last a while and will make you look beautiful. [ even though you akready are.]
Go to everydayminerals.com. This company has the best color selection and the quality of the minerals are fantastic too. You could also get samples for free or get a discount code through their blog-
You cant really tell from the photo your exact type of foundation. Go to a department store like macys or lord and taylor, or a makeup store like sephora or vicotoria secrets. They will have make up line up for you to try. Put it just along your jawbone and look into the light. If you can see it, it is the wrong color for you. If you are really having trouble, some bigger department stores have people to tell you what colors look best on you. Go ahead and ask, some will even give you a free makeover so you can see what you look like with it on. once you know what number in foundation you are, either buy it there, or go to a grocery store or drug store and buy it for a lower price. although from brand to brand the colors may vary sligtly. Hope this helps!
Okay, here's what u do... btw u r really pretty! Okay, turn ur hands around so that u cannot c ur nails... Then look at the inside of ur wrists (right b4 ur hand starts) and THATS the color of foundation u should use!... Hope this helps!
GOD BLESS!
i would go to mac store and ask them for help they are awesome! i think u might need c40 studio fix from mac althoug its studio fix but it is not very strong and gives a beautiful bronze color and looks very natural .. if u shop in a different store just grab few of them and try it on in the store and find what looks good on u ! good luck !
u should try buying professional makeup at a makeup counter because they can help you test different color so you can have a really good match!!!
Go to a make up counter where there are assistants that will help you.Get them to apply some samples on your skin, then step outside in daylight to see what suits you best.Biggest mistake we make is testing on the back of our hands, our skin tone is different on our faces.And in shops lighting too can be different to daylight outside, so that can confuse our senses.
