Kouturekiss - How To Find Your Perfect Shade of Foundation_EDIT

  1. Guesstimate: grab 3 shades that seem to be in your general shade range and swatch on your jawline. If you can’t or don’t want to swatch it on your face DO NOT use your arm or hand as a substitute! You’ll end up with the wrong color! Use the middle of your chest instead. Ultimately, your chest and face should match!
  2. Determine: which shade most disappears into your skin? That’s the one you want!

  3. Pick a winner: if you blend it in and it seems to “go away” that’s good! The perfect shade will blend away, hiding imperfections but not hiding your actual skin!
  4. Voila, there you have it! A few more tips: read the labels and snag formulas that correspond with your skin type. Not quite sure where to start when it comes to color? Shades with yellow/golden undertones are very flattering on almost every skin tone! Don’t buy the shade you want your skin to be, buy the shade you actually are. Bronzing, highlighting, and other makeup tricks can help achieve the look you’re going for. When your complexion is right, everything else falls into place!
