Shopping for makeup can be tricky. You can see a shade that could match your skin color, but it could be a catastrophic mistake if you don’t try it on. Lighting can be tricky and can show one shade a different way in various types of lighting. 

But you don’t need to be a beauty expert to find a shade of makeup that matches your skin tone. The fundamentals are relatively simple. Below are the steps you need to take to find the best way to pick your makeup shade

Find Your Skin Tone 

To find the right foundation to match your skin tone, you need to know your skin’s proper undertones. While it may seem like a daunting task to find your undertone, it is relatively easy. Just look down at the veins in your wrist, and you will figure out the answer. If your veins appear purple, you have a cool skin tone; green or olive, a warm skin tone; or a mix, you have a neutral skin tone. 

Consider the Coverage You Want 

Once you find your proper skin tone, you need to consider the level of coverage you want.  You have to consider if you’d like full, medium, partial, or sheer coverage. Determining how much you’d like your actual skin to show should be the pinpoint of the foundation you’d like to buy. You can find different foundations of different shades and coverage levels. 

Milani Cosmetics sells a variety of different cosmetics that matches all skin tones and blend in perfectly.  Milani not only sells high-end products that are comparable to cosmetic stores, but you don’t have to pay a premium. Instead, all products on their site are affordable.  One of their most popular foundation products is the Conceal + Perfect 2-In-1 Foundation and Concealer.  This product is terrific for getting rid of those pesky under-eye bags. Their foundation will conceal and remove redness and skin imperfections so you can go about your day with a streamlined look. 

Consider the Disappearing Test 

Once you discover your skin tone, you need to pay attention to the different colors of foundations.  Each time you try out a color, you need to go with the disappearing test.  The perfect foundation will seem as if it disappears while you are applying it to your skin. Make sure you test out potential foundations on your jawline because it is the easiest to tell if the foundation will match the rest of your skin. 

Find the Correct Shade 

Getting the correct shade can be somewhat of a tricky task. While there seems to be a shade for just about everyone, sometimes you have to be creative to make sure you get full coverage. If you have had trouble in the past, it might be best to mix your foundation with a little bronzer or blush to brighten or darken and get the shade you want. 

After finding your perfect shade of foundation, you need to apply it so you will have a streamlined and flawless finish. 

First, make sure you have a brush to apply your foundation. Many brushes can be found on Milani Cosmetics at an affordable price and are salon quality. To get that airbrushed look, you have to apply your foundation with circular motions.  Dot three dabs of foundation onto your forehead and put two on your chin with your brush. Then, blend these dabs until they disappear. 

Depending on how much foundation you want to use, you could repeat this step for more coverage.  One important reminder is that you clean your brush after every use to avoid that caked-on look that doesn’t do anyone justice. 

Finding the right makeup can be challenging, but there is a shade for everyone. These days, we are just trying to attain normalcy, and maintaining a makeup routine will make you feel good and improve your mental health.
