Product Information

Step #1: Prime. As with any foundation, it’s a good idea to start with a makeup primer. Apply the L’Oréal Paris Studio Secrets Professional Magic Perfecting Base all over your face. If you have an olive or medium skin tone try one of these shades: Amber (300), Hazelnut (330), Sienna (355), Copper (365). Step #4: Blend. Use a makeup blender, like the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Blend Artist Foundation Blender, to buff and blend out the two shades for a seamless, perfectly contoured complexion. Easy, right? It’s important to understand that the foundations that fall within a range of shades don’t simply have minor differences in their depth 一 their undertones also differ, which makes a huge difference on the skin. When you choose a shade of foundation, you should grab one that matches both your skin tone or depth, and your undertones for a true your-skin-but-better look. The more shades the better, when you know how to narrow down your foundation match. When a collection has more than three dozen shades it can start to feel overwhelming, especially if you’re new to makeup. It all starts with skin tone, and then undertones are the next consideration.

description":"Wondering which foundation is best for you? Whether you have oily, dry or combination skin, read on to meet your perfect foundation makeup match." While you’ll mainly be applying your foundation all over your face for daily wear, it’s important to consider where on your skin you’re testing the color. Find a spot on your face (bare skin, of course) with the least amount of redness or hyperpigmentation and see how the foundation looks there. Then test on an area with the most dark spots to see if the color appears the same. This will give you the most accurate read on how it matches your overall complexion. Remember, concealer and color corrector helps you tone down dark spots so no need to pile on layers of foundation to mask those blemishes. Perhaps the easiest way to go about finding your undertones is to flip your wrist and let your veins be your guide. If your veins look green, you have warm or yellow undertones . If you have blue or purple veins, you have cool undertones. If you’re unsure whether your veins look green, bluish or purple — or they appear to be a mix of all three — you’ve likely got neutral undertones. Almost done! Last but not least, you’ll want to make sure all of your hard work doesn’t go to waste. Seal in your cream contour with the help of a setting spray. For a natural finish, use the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Spray & Set Makeup Extender Setting Spray. For a dewy finish, spritz on the L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Shake & Glow Dew Mist. Once your makeup primer is all dry, it’s time to create an even, healthy-looking complexion. Flawless makeup is the ultimate goal, and the L’Oréal Paris 24HR Fresh Wear Foundation, Lightweightwill provide you with exactly that. Reach for a makeup blender, like the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Blend Artist Foundation Blender, and blend in dabbing motions until even. STEP #3: TIME TO CONCEALIf you consider your fair skin tone to be particularly pale in color, reach for one of these shades to get your best color match: Snow (390), Rose Pearl (395), Pearl (400), Porcelain (405), Ivory (410).

Different lighting will change how foundation appears on your skin. The best way to assess whether a shade is truly your perfect match is to look at it on your skin in natural light. Go outside or take a look in the mirror while in front of a window to see if the foundation blends into your skin. If it appears to disappear on the skin (but still cover uneven skin tone and blemishes), it’s your ideal match. If your skin tone is light (but not pale), your match can be found in one of the following shades: Linen (180), Beige Sand (190), Sand (220), Radiant Honey (245), Radiant Sand (250), Golden Sun (260). Take your lash game to new heights with a few coats of mascara. We like the L’Oréal Paris Bambi Eye Waterproof Mascara, Lasting Volume, which works to elongate and lift your lashes for a defined finish. STEP #7: COLOR YOUR POUTWho doesn’t love a sun-kissed glow? Grab the L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Bronze It Bronzerand apply it to the hollows of your cheeks and temples. STEP #5: REACH FOR BLUSH You can also use L’Oréal Paris’s Virtual undertone finder quiz to help you identify your undertone if you're still unsure. You just answer a few questions and you get the results sent directly to your inbox. Whether you have a warm skin tone , cool tone or neutral tone will be important as you search for your foundation match. When undertones aren’t listed as part of the shade name or color number (typically signified by a W, N or C), follow this basic rule of thumb:
