Makeup Tutorials How to Pick the Right Foundation Shade
August 21, 2026 · by Store Admin
The biggest shade-matching mistake: testing on your hand. Your jawline and neck are the real reference points.
Start by identifying your undertone — cool, warm, or neutral — by checking the veins on your wrist. Then test two or three close shades along your jawline in daylight, and pick the one that disappears into your skin rather than sitting on top of it.
Foundation also oxidizes slightly after 10-15 minutes, so wait before making the final call.
