Finding My PERFECT Foundation Match... Finally

HI SISTERS! I've been doing makeup for 3 years now but the one skill I have not mastered is matching my foundation. I've looked white with Flashback Mary, but I've also looked orange. For today's video, I decided to test out every single foundation on the market and see if I could find the perfect shade. Enjoy!

I know you may not have meant it this way, but if James were to read this it may come off as hate and not constructive criticism, which he is all about.

The Dior flash, spray one IS his match!!

[@dianacortez4829]

Definitely Fenty 170! Sorry sister James 😂

I know, right? It literally looks like he doesn’t even have makeup on. It’s perfect!

[@na-mib.2298]

Yessss

[@chicpapaya7681]

Yeah, it’s because it matches his body better. I think he sees himself warmer because he has rosacea on the face but his neck and torso are pale he should start matching with his neck and chest tbh!

[@elizabethjoy476]

Diana Cortez definitely

[@ny-cb9zw]

james: "everyone i convinced im not warm toned"
Also him: trying warm tones and them not matching him
me: your not warm toned your a little darker than pale

[@madisonbeaulieu9192]

Undertones have nothing to do with how dark or pale you are

[@thegachagurlwithnoaudio8539]

James: “It is officially 2019 I hope everyone is having a great start to the brand new year~”

the problem he’s having is his undertones are pink, and the he’s choosing some foundation that has a yellow undertone. try an ivory shade!

[@TheEmilyp2012]

James: *puts on the lightest foundation*

Rachel Manns agreed

[@eflip4583]

Fenty or Too Faced

[@rachelmanns6689]

I think Fenty, overall, looked VERY natural. I haven’t tried it yet, but now I want too. The first 2 options were great, as well.

[@foriwillconsidermycatjeoffery]

...no pink lemonade

i know i’m 4 years late but why is james gaslighting himself into thinking he’s tan

2 years later, I’m going to say the Fenty one 😂 Born this way was a really good match too.

[@jaydenmay8405]

I think James should have mixed all of the colors on his face, to see what foundation color that would have made

[@kes6628]

"Do I literally not have warm undertones, have I been lying to myself this whole time?" YES. Yes sis you have. You are literally Cool / Pink undertones. You need cool or neutral shades, with a peachy tone.

[@rosamcneil8456]

the fenty one looked BOMB 🤯💗

[@andii8860]

Too faced and Fenti look amazing! Thanks for the video. I find that I can’t match mine either because, like you, my neck, arm, hand, chest, and face are all different colors. Makeup artists find it incredibly difficult to match me. xo

[@khusbupatel7732]

Dior spray and milk foundation goes PERFECT for your neck and chest and I love the born this way for your face as well as morphe and fenty but you’d have to see how it matches with your neck using the dior spray or milk foundation! Using two different colors for your face and neck would be better for you since the color looks differently in both areas❤️

[@simranchelani2881]

I think fenty beauty foundation was the best match for you haha 🥰

[@laceyj9565]

I’d definitely say Fenty’s foundation looks the best on you Sister James!!!💛💛💛

I really wanted you to blend out all of the swatches just to see which shade came from all of the swatches lol. the FENTY and the MORPHE looked the best I think. This was a cool video

Was thinking he was going to do that

[@bhav2671]

[@samanthadavis3648]

Yas! Couldn’t he have like mixed multiple foundations together to find the perfect one. Imagine if he mixed all the final ones together!!! It probably could have made a perfect match!!!

[@aliviawall4947]

i know it has been 3 years but the milk fenty and the morphe look really good on you

[@Jinx1392]

I think fenty pulled you together. Your chest, arm and face seemed to blend together better and got consistent in color. A life Lesson for makeup I've discovered is that I'm far more light then I thought I'd be. I think you lowkey felt the same because you got a lot of light mediums and the few light you tried were the best matches.

[@XxTayC94xX]

I think the fenty beauty is a fantastic match. Maybe try mixing in oils or like some dewy drops to make it a more dewy foundation versus drying. I do agree with a previous commenter that you lean towards foundations that are too dark because your arms are tanned than the rest of your body and the redness of your face makes it seem darker. You can always darken a foundation with bronzer but you cant lighten a base that is too dark.

[@xxeve_kxx94]
