How to Choose Foundation

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Lauren. I'm with Makeup by Dodge. Today, we're going to talk about how to choose your foundation. When choosing your foundation, you should think of two major important things. The first thing is the combination of your skin type. Are you oily? Are you dry? Are you normal? That really makes a difference rather you can use a mousse which oily should not use or any kind of liquid which oily should not use. Dry to normal can pretty much use any kind of vehicle that they want for their foundation. The second thing that you should always remember is the tone of your face. Some people have olive complexions. Other people have yellow complexions. Very few people have pink complexions but everyone one hundred percent could use a foundation that has a yellow undertone in it. It'll make you look more youthful. It'll make you look more radiant and it'll make you look just more put together. So, when you are finding your foundation, a lot of makeup artist and a lot of people tell you to check on the inside of your wrist. Now, I just don't go by that. I think that if you really wanting find the foundation, you should put your money into it and go to one of those department store counters and talk to somebody about it in which you should check it on your neck and you should check it on your face because that's where you will be wearing it right. You're not going to be wearing on your wrist. So, as you can see here, we've done a strip test with Jena. We have the darkest which won't do to the lightest in the middle. We definitely can tell what will go with her face. These just won't do. So, I hope that helped"
