My Foundation Shades and Tips to Finding the Right Foundation!

I've been asked this a few times so I thought I'd do a post... Here is the list of my foundations.

I am a yellow to neutral undertone. I can pull off both.

As far as MAC shades I am a NC35

Foundations:


  • MAC Prolongwear in  NC35 - yellow undertones
  • Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation in Medium- yellow undertones
  • Neutrogena Healthy Skin Foundation in 60 natural beige- neutral undertones
  • Boots No 7 Intelligent Balance Mousse Foundation in 30 Almond- neutral undertones
  • MakeupForever Mat Velver + in #35- yellowish neutral undertones 
  • Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation in 200 Soft Beige- yellow undertones 
  • Maybelline Dream Nude Airfoam in Natural Beige- yellow undertones
  • Maybelline FitMe foundation in 220- neutral undertones
  • Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation in natural beige- yellow undertones
  • Boots Stay Perfect Foundation in 30 almond- Neutral undertones
  • Loreal True Match Foundation in W4 Natural Beige -neutral undertones

Hope this helps those with my same skin color.

Tips for finding the right foundation:

  •  Test it out on your jaw line
  • Take someone you trust with you to give you an opinion
  • Don't be afraid to walk outside and look at yourself in daylight
  • If its a drugstore foundation keep the receipt so you can return if not your shade
  • Always trust your opinion even if the person applying is a Make up artist... trust what you see 
  • If you already know a shade that suits you compare it with the new foundation you want to buy... hold the bottles together and compare... undertones and color
  • Take the bottle of the foundation that matches you so you can compare it
  • Ask for samples if its a high end store
  • Research online what others say... especially if they have the same skin type as you etc



What are your tips?
