Why choose a foundation to match the skin color?

Undertone = Undertone

Depth = Intensity-Mild Level of Skin

So the foundation "swallows the real skin."

What the image is conveying

1) Depth

The image divides the skin into 4 main levels.

FAIR

Very white skin

Shade example:

Porcelain

Ivory

Neutral Light

Fits people with very light skin, pink or light yellow tone

LIGHT / MEDIUM

White, yellow-medium skin

Shade example:

Beige

Warm Beige

Neutral Sand

It's the tone that a lot of Asian people are in this group.

MEDIUM / TAN

Bicolor / tan skin

Shade example:

Honey

Golden Beige

Warm Sand

The skin is getting tangent and warmer.

DEEP

Dark skin

Shade example:

Caramel

Toffee

Deep Neutral

Accent dark brown shades that also have different undertone.

2) What is Undertone?

Undertone = "the color under the skin"

It's a permanent tone of the skin. It's not about whether the skin is darker or whiter.

The picture explains that

Blue / purple veins → Cool undertone

Green veins → Warm undertone

See both green and blue → Neutral undertone

Undertone difference

Cool Undertone

Pink, red or bluish skin

Fits Foundation:

Porcelain

Cool Beige

Rosy tone

If using too much yellow foundation, the face may look tarnish.

Warm Undertone

Yellow, gold or olive skin

Fits:

Warm Beige

Golden Beige

Honey

If using too pink foundation to look gray

Neutral Undertone

In the middle, not clear pink or yellow.

Fits:

Neutral Sand

Neutral Light

Deep Neutral

It's an undertone that chooses the widest shade.

3) Another important thing is "Depth."

Many people choose foundation by looking just undertone.

But the "intensity-softness" of skin color is also very important.

The picture therefore says:

Match depth to your neck

Translated: Choose a color level as close to "neck" as possible.

Not choosing to be whiter

Because if the face is much whiter than the neck, it will float immediately.

4) Why does the foundation "look weird" when the color is close?

The images are pointing out that

The problem may come from:

Pick the wrong undertone.

Such as

Yellow skin but using pink foundation

Cool skin, but using a strong yellow foundation.

The result is:

Gray face

Tarnish face

Doesn't look bright.

Wrong depth choice

Such as

Too bright → floating face

Too dark → suction drop page

5) The technique selects the foundation color from the image.

Czech veins

Blue = cool

Green = warm

Mixed = neutral

Compare the color on the "neck."

Not the back of the hand.

Because the hands are often not the same color as the face and neck

Experiment in natural light

The lights in the mall make the color very distorted.

Should walk out to look near the window or light sunlight

A simple summary.

"Yes" foundation must match 2 at the same time.

Undertone → Subsurface tone

Depth → Intensity-Mild Level

If only the color is straight, but the undertone is wrong.

The face will still look "incompatible with the skin."
