Women of colour: do you find it hard to find a foundation that matches your skin tone accurately?

ive got this problem the foundation i currently use makes me look to pale...but my skin tone gets darker during the summer time and paler during the winter time...so sometimes it matches nd sometimes it dont.





i dont have bad skin but it gives me a good finish wen i put on other makeup....Women of colour: do you find it hard to find a foundation that matches your skin tone accurately?
yes! I have 2 different foundations- one is for the winter when i am lighter and the other is for the summer when i am darker. it's something, isn't it?Women of colour: do you find it hard to find a foundation that matches your skin tone accurately?

Why would a Black woman wear foundation anyway? Sisters have radiant beautiful skin in the first place. I can't speak for all brothers but I can't stand when Black women wear a lot of make up. Make up should compliment a woman's natural beauty, not cover it up or make her into someone she is not. A little lipstick is cool and I can live with a little eye shadow and mascara but foundation and rouge are just too much for me.





I have seen make up ruin sisters skin. You will do what you want but from a man's point of view often women wear make up for other women and not for man. I'm not saying to go around looking homely but perhaps toning it down a little couldn't hurt.
yes I have problems with foundation all the time because it's so hard trying fine foundation for me because either it's to light for me and I start to look like a black ghost or it's to dark and I look like im tryin to go black face or something... So offend times I have to mix the colors around to get close to my shade.
Im not black, but Im not white...so I thought I'd share anyway, hope thats ok!





I can NEVER find foundation that matches, its either WAY too light, too orange, or too pink. It looks like I am wearing a mask. I did find this mineral powder stuff that looks pretty natural though. I had to buy three different shades to mix in order to find the right shade to match my skin. Its really light, and since its adjustable and mixable, I can use it in the summer (when I get super dark) or in the winter (when my skin is a little bit lighter).





My husband is from India, where women range from fair, to really dark, so whenever he goes there, he nrings back some of their makeup. They have a lot more color foundations for darker complected women.
I don't like a lot of make up and unless I'm at work I don't wear much except lip gloss and eye shadow. I think it can be difficulty as times to find your exact skin color. My mother says she has a hard time, either the foundation is too light or too dark never just right.
Girl Yes! Even though i don't wear make-up, unless it is a special occasion, but the foundation is always too light, whether it liquid or powder. Maybe you try going to the Mac counter and try to have someone match your color, it worked for me.
Yeah, that's why I don't wear foundation at all. It's bad for you anyways. I only stick to lipstick and stuff for my eyes.
I dont wear make up (lipstick sometimes) but...





Try Fashion Fair at Macy's. Their products are made for women of color.





My sister uses it. She says its great.
Hell yeah.. Noone of it mathes me exactly.. either I look like a geisha or alike Im trying to be darker,
I only use lipstick that is all needed
I don't wear make-up. It makes me break out.
i don't wear makeup





but for my mom yes she says it is hard
Hi, I'm Keri. When I divorced, I decided that's it, I'm going with my passion. I desired a


man with rich cocoa brown skin, soothing full lips and a warm personality to match. I need


a strong black man to keep me happy all the day long (not to mention the nights!).


I found an everlasting love in my Darnell and I'd like to help you find your's at
