How to Match Foundation to Skin Type

Video Transcript

"Say you're in a drug store or a department store and you really, really want to find the perfect foundation and nobody is around to really assist you, here's a good trick. Always try to match on your jawline because you really don't want to see any difference between your jawline and your neck area. I strongly recommend to take the product towards, maybe the window of the store or where you have a little bit more natural lighting. The harsh neon lighting in most department stores can really, really change the look or the actual color of your foundation. If you can't take a tester or take a little bit of the product towards the light, you can also grab the bottle, turn it around where you can see the label, and if it's a see-through bottle, you can just hold it up against your face and also try to match that. So, I'm going to demonstrate to you how this stripe test actually works. So here I'm selecting three different colors that I think might work for Sheena or might not, we're going to see that right now. So I'm going to paint one stripe. And then I'm going to paint the second stripe, and then I'm going to paint the third stripe. Now the trick is to squench your eyes and let your vision get blurry. And then what happens is that the stripe that matches the most seamlessly disappears into Sheena's skin and that's probably the shade that you should go with."
