The right foundation colour ?

hey all





my foundation colour is honey, but i was just wondering if soft honey is the same colour as honey lol, also just wondering what powder foundation should i use as i dont have a clue.





thanks for ia helpThe right foundation colour ?
Well it depends on what brand of foundation you are using first off


Like the maybelline pure makeup I am soft Ivory


But another foundation was sandy beige


So it depends on that but the best way to test any foundation is to go to whereever you get your makeup at (walgreens walmart ulta etc)


and put a small squirt of foundation on the back of your hand...blend it in and go outside and look at it in the light...see if it looks lighter, darker or the same as your skin color, it is a pain but it is even more of a pain buying tons of foundations till you find your perfect shade :)The right foundation colour ?
Each brand has their own nos or names of makeup products. what I understand soft honey would be lighter then honey color. You get foundation powder just next to the Foundation. Press powder would be OK. Powder is good for oily skin and makeup stays longer and good for photo shoot.


You can always go to makeup counter in the mall store like macy or any similar or to you your makeup artist and check what color and the kind of product they recommend you. By looking at your skin they will know exactly what you need.


Your pale, red skin tone will make a big difference in what color of foundation, you should buy.
Be really careful when there is a variation such as ';soft'; in front of the foundation color. Sometimes one can turn out to be more pink or yellow based than the other.





If you're looking for a powder foundation I would recommend going to a Clinique counter and asking about their ';Almost Makeup Powder Foundation SPF 15.'; You do not need to use much and it has just as good coverage as a liquid foundation. This is the only stuff that got my to STOP using liquid foundation period after 10 years!





A bonus is if you go to Clinique they will find the right color. If for some reason the color turns out to be wrong you can return it.





Good Luck!
Mark has the Shades of You right now. They help narrow down your search for the right color. Plus if you buy it and it doesn't match you can always ship it back for a full refund. I use the Powder Buff foundation. It is a pressed powder foundation that lets you build your coverage from sheer to full just like a loose mineral but without the mess. It's easier to carry around for touch ups and it keeps my oily skin matte all day.
no-one can tell u what's the right colour for ur face as foundation has to match ur skin perfectly.
