Foundation color match how to#

(I can already tell that half of them are off, but again - good directional findings.) Here is a pretty good explanation of how to read Color IQ results. These are some of the shades that could match me in theory. I prefer using it in person, but based on my favorite foundations, my Color IQ is between 2R15 and 4R15 - meaning that I am on the darkest end of the spectrum with some red undertones. It is not always accurate, but it does give good inklings. One last thing that I recommend is using Color IQ at Sephora. It is super easy to see their undertones become apparent. If you have a sec, watch this video by where several women of color sit in front of a white background. As you may see in the photo below, my skin appears reddish when juxtaposed with a white towel, which therefore makes me cool toned. The one method that did work for me consists in standing in front of a white background and determining which colors appear the most apparent in the skin, using the stark contrast with the white to make that observation. I wear black 99 percent of the time (and yes, that’s not the method's fault, but whatever.) That said, I have always gravitated towards silver jewelry, so that’s that. That trick is also great… for people who love experimenting with color. Another method consists of looking at the clothes and jewelry one looks best in cool-undertoned people will rock blues, cool reds, other jewel tones and silver jewelry, when warmer-undertoned humans tend to look great in yellows, oranges, warmer hues and gold jewelry.
