How To Know Your Skin Undertones + Pick the Best Foundation + Concealer | Cool - Warm - Neutral

  • Here is my easy guide to knowing your skin's undertone and figuring out if you are cool, warm, or neutral without having to look at your veins or do a jewelry test. Just a straight forward explantation of each skin undertone and how to find yours at home!
    This is how I match myself and my makeup clients quickly and accurately. Figuring out your skin's undertone will make picking out foundation, concealer, and other makeup shades so much easier.
    As much as I would love to help everyone individually, I don't offer foundation or undertone matching at this time, but I truly hope all the information in this video and these blog posts help!
    BLOG POST with additional photos | girlgetglamorous.com/how-to-know-your-foundation-undertone-cool-warm-neutral-peach
    BLOG POST with L'Oreal Undertones Chart (fair to deep) | girlgetglamorous.com/how-to-buy-the-right-shade-of-foundation-concealer-online
    It took me years to figure out that my skin undertone is peach. I could have saved so much by knowing this and buying the correct shade the first time around.
    *Please note: In the video, I have incorrectly labeled the Olive undertone as "warm." It is actually a "cool" undertone. My apologies for the error!
    Please give this video a thumbs up if you found it helpful!
    Thank you,

    I’ve always been “matched” as cool or neutral at a makeup store and I look ghostly! I am a strong yellow toned person and I think you just know yourself when you really get into it and try yourself. Same with seasons or colors - some look alive in warm tones, some in cool tones and some in bright tones. Depth of color and tones are a thing completely of their own topic.
    You could be a fantastic stylist.

    I’ve been struggling with trying to find a match for years at this point, and when I first saw the stripes I thought for sure you’d be the light pink undertones like what I’ve been buying since we have similar skin tones. Blew my mind. I might have to go get a few different undertones and completely rethink what I’ve been doing. Thank you so much 😊

    Mac has a NW and NC for a reason. If your neutral you mix them 50/50 together or warm it up with a bronzer. The drugstore ones usually only have foundations for people that are cool toned or medium tone.

    This has literally been the most helpful youtube video I have EVER seen! I couldn't understand why makeup always made me look so washed out and worse than bare skin!! Now I realize I have been wearing the wrong shades! I usually have them match me in store but they never really swatch on my skin like you showed. They usually just look at me and give a recommendation! I went out last night and bought 3 of the wet n wild shades to practice with since they are so cheap! It was so incredible to see the wrong shades vs the correct shade! I am so excited to start replacing my foundations with the correct shades! I am tired of look grey and ghostly all the time! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thank you Molly. I have been wearing the wrong foundation for years. Sephora told me I was medium. Bought Elf and It. All wrong and so watery.
    Your explanations were perfect. I am subscribed to you and can’t wait until I can try swatches to discover my true colors. Redness, dryness around my nose but very few acne scars. One of the lucky ones without acne. Period pimples once a month.
    Your explanations are so honest and natural. Looking forward to to the next video.

  • @madamk1818
    @madamk1818 Před 3 lety +9

    Thank you so much for this thorough examination and all of the swatch examples! I thought I had pink undertones due to being fair and having a lot of redness from previous severe acne scarring and skin issues. Turns out I have peach undertones as well, and that has helped me in finding the right foundation shades.

    Discovering your undertone is a real struggle. For years, I would wear tinted moisturizer just to avoid this battle. Not to mention, the "pros" at Ulta and Sephora would classify me as neutral when in reality I had light golden undertone. Like you, I have acne scarring and a very mild case of rosacea which threw everyone off I believe. It took some experimentation, by swatching on my neck and chest, but I finally found the perfect foundation.

  • @Andrea-uk5gn
    @Andrea-uk5gn Před rokem +4

    Ok can I just tell you that I was EXACTLY like you in thinking that the redness in my skin meant I was cooler. That is until I just saw you put the wrong shade for your undertone on, and my mind is now literally blown because this is what I’ve been walking around looking like: frosty and much too light 🤯😟 THANK YOU!!!!! A million thank you’s for posting this!!! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

  • @vivellaz
    @vivellaz Před 4 lety +3

    This was so interesting thank you! I would never have guessed your shade was correct till you tried it on the whole cheek. I have medium olive skin and struggle to find correct foundation matches. I have resorted to adding a drop of green food colouring to some foundations, to make them more olive but one has to be so careful as the green has to be a warm green (chartreuse), or even scraping some yellowish green eye shadow into a small amount of foundation helps. Nowadays it is easier than a few years ago as a few brands make colour correcting drops, like Gosh. Most foundations in the medium shades are all too peachy, orange, yellow or pink. I once found shade 7 of a YSL foundation was perfect, then they discontinued that foundation! I can use the new L'Oreal Fresh Wear in Golden Sand, mainly because it will oxidise to the right shade. For olive skinned girls, it is a never ending battle. Inglot has a decent range for olive skins, but you have to like the texture.

    This is great! Just a bit to complicated to do in a local drugstore 😫 I went for a shade match at my local Estée Lauder counter and the woman wasn’t really sure herself! She gave me 3 different samples of double wear and I didn’t like any of them at home! I then went to another Lauder counter and asked her for advice and explained my previous matching, and she said “well those are the shades I’d have given you, you may just not like the undertones of the double wear foundation. Maybe try Clinique” 🤷🏼‍♀️ it’s frustrating as the foundation is meant to be so good and I really want to use it, but don’t want a silly shade!
