Let’s face it, not all of have access to a plush multi-brand cosmetics store that stores all the best foundations available in the market, where you can head to, swipe a few shades and pick the one that suits perfectly. Besides, online shopping is where all the bomb offers are – which is why there a lot of women doing all their makeup shopping online. While blushes and lipsticks aren’t a high risk factor, finding your perfect foundation shade in an online store is tricky business. Chances are, you might just pick the wrong shade. But that doesn’t have to be. Ahead are few tips that help you pick your right foundation shade while shopping online.
02/5Know Your Needs
Before you go out picking the foundation, narrow down your needs. What is your skin type? What kind of coverage are you looking for? Your skin type will help you pick the finish of your foundation. There’s matte, natural and dewy finishes to choose from. A matte finish foundation lasts longer on oily skin and hence is often preferred by them. Foundations also give different type of coverage – sheer, medium and full! So make list of things you would want, and narrow down the foundation
03/5Know Your Undertone
Your undertone is just as important as your skin tone. Some may even say it is more important! Your undertone basically decides if your “medium” toned foundation should look yellow-ish or pinkish. How do you figure your under tone? Lift your hand to see the veins on your wrist. If they’re all green, you are of warm undertone. If your viens are blue, you are of cool undertone. If you have veins of both colour, you are of neutral undertone.
