Follow these 3 easy steps to successfully choose the correct foundation color.
1. Determine your skin undertone: yellow, red or neutral. (See definitions below.)
2. Determine your skin shade.
3. Select the specific foundation formula you would like and then you will find the corresponding color.
To determine your skin undertone, look at the veins on the back of your wrist. (To see the color best, stand under a bright light or in natural daylight.)
Yellow: The veins in your wrist will appear more green.
Red: The veins in your wrist will appear more blue.
Neutral: The veins in your wrist will be a mix between blue and green.
Skin shade
Fair: Your skin burns easily in the sun. Your veins are easily seen through your skin.
Light: Your skin tends to burn and then tan. You may appear pale in the winter and have a warm glow in the summer.
Medium: Your skin usually tans after spending time in the sun. Your skin is neither pale nor dark.
Dark: You tan easily and rarely burn. Your skin has a naturally darker pigment.
