Girls...Do you use foundation that's the same colour as your skin?

Question

Do you sometimes find that a lighter/darker shade looks better than an exact match??

Answer 1

i use the exact match personally as a beauty therapist
if you cant find your exact match they say get 1 shade lighter and 1shade darker and mix together to get a suitable shade!
but then your buying 2 products so whats the point-especially if you want a nice foundation that's going to cost a little more!
if you want your face to be darker-that's when bronzer comes in to it! a much darker foundation will just look naff and look like you have a `orange` ring around your face! with bronzer you can sweep it anywhere you want colour!
just experiment and find what you think looks nice, every ones different :)

Answer 2

You need to have a foundation that matched your skin tone. Some people have two toned, so you may need two foundation colors. You do not need to go beneath the jaw line, your foundation color should match up perfectly there. After applying your foundation follow up with some powder to give it a nice finish. If you feel pale, then use a bronzing powder, I recommend Mary Kay Bronzing Powder. If you end up buying a foundation color that does not match your skin exactly then you will be putting on a mask and people can tell by looking at you that your face and neck are two different colors!

First and foremost, if u look at your actual skin you will notice that your face isnt one solid shade. its helpful to buy 2 shades, only one shade apart, and if your t-zone is darker apply the darker shade there, and if your cheeks are lite apply lite. then blend with a translucent powder. OR
they make powder foundation that starts dark on one side, and the pallate changes to super light on the other. I reccommend this instead of buying to seperate foundations, and powder wont clog ur pores so bad.
i think its almay that made this new foundation that matches your natural skin color automatically though. you just pick the shade thats closest to your natural color, ie lite medium or dark, and the foundation just blends evenly on its own. I checked it out, and its 12-15 dollars. just depends on how much your willing to spen,d. hope this helps!

Answer 4

I always go a shade darker so I don't look pale. If you use a cosmetic sponge, with a light touch, to apply & smooth foundation you get better coverage and no demarcation lines.

Answer 5

I do not use foundation that's the same color of my skin color...I use a bit lighter color foundation than my skin!
& i always match my eye shades with my costumes!
If its day function then i use the light color! & If its night function then i use darker one!

Answer 6

gentle lips are plumping. Plus if your lips arent eye catching, then everybody will look promptly at your eyes, a suitable trick for gruesome females who've outstanding eyes or large makeup. yet another component is how youre meant to place initiating on your lips until eventually now you shop on with lip stick, so perhaps a number of those females in basic terms didnt have adequate time contained in the morning? Or forgot to positioned on their lipstick? Lol.
