Ivory or Beige Skin Tones: Conduct the strip test from jaw to neck. Start by appplying the three foundation colors from jaw to neck, wait a few minutes to see if the oils in your skin will change the color of the foundation and then choose the one that matches your neck. Women with ivory and beige skin tones tend to have red faces with yellow toned necks, so they always need to match the foundation to your neck. Bronze and Ebony Skin Tones: Conduct the stripe test, but do not apply the color to the neck, just from the cheek to the jaw line. Wait a few minutes to see if the oils in your skin will change the color pigments in the foundation. If you have facial masking, always use two shades of foundation: One shade to brighten your skin and the other to deepen. To get directions on how to apply the two foundations visit the following post on How to Correct Facial Masking. Always Choose Yellow foundations Over Pink! The only time pink undertone foundation is okay is if you have pink undertones in your neck as well. Applying pink foundation over a red face will only make it more red! Believe it or not, but pink hued powders and foundations actually age the skin….Leave the pink hues for the lipstick and blushes. Yellow foundations can actually help hide rosacea and broken capillaries. Women who have ebony skin should match the undertones of their skin exactly with thier foundation because they are so distinct and noticeable. They ca range all the way from golden-orange to true brown. Remember though that it is always a good idea to brighten (not lighten) ebony skin. Intense gold-orange tones work well for brightening ebony skin.
