Girls...Do you use foundation that's the same colour as your skin?

Do you sometimes find that a lighter/darker shade looks better than an exact match??Girls...Do you use foundation that's the same colour as your skin?
i use the exact match personally as a beauty therapist


if you cant find your exact match they say get 1 shade lighter and 1shade darker and mix together to get a suitable shade!


but then your buying 2 products so whats the point-especially if you want a nice foundation that's going to cost a little more!


if you want your face to be darker-that's when bronzer comes in to it! a much darker foundation will just look naff and look like you have a `orange` ring around your face! with bronzer you can sweep it anywhere you want colour!


just experiment and find what you think looks nice, every ones different :)Girls...Do you use foundation that's the same colour as your skin?
yes i know people say you need to mach your foundation to your skin tone but i like a shade darker then what my skin tone is. if i a light foundation i look pale
Yes,i do


No,if your complextion is fair then you can use white foundation,if your skin is black then you can use black foundation
i usually use a shade darker than my skin tone, it looks better and more natural. i guess its the way you apply it.


i use a bonzer and a blush too


i look rather good
I still don't think I'v even found a match...sad i know.
Yes, I use bareminerals and in the winter, I combine two of the different shades together to give me a bit more color.
First and foremost, if u look at your actual skin you will notice that your face isnt one solid shade. its helpful to buy 2 shades, only one shade apart, and if your t-zone is darker apply the darker shade there, and if your cheeks are lite apply lite. then blend with a translucent powder. OR


they make powder foundation that starts dark on one side, and the pallate changes to super light on the other. I reccommend this instead of buying to seperate foundations, and powder wont clog ur pores so bad.


i think its almay that made this new foundation that matches your natural skin color automatically though. you just pick the shade thats closest to your natural color, ie lite medium or dark, and the foundation just blends evenly on its own. I checked it out, and its 12-15 dollars. just depends on how much your willing to spen,d. hope this helps!
I always go a shade darker so I don't look pale. If you use a cosmetic sponge, with a light touch, to apply %26amp; smooth foundation you get better coverage and no demarcation lines.
I do not use foundation that's the same color of my skin color...I use a bit lighter color foundation than my skin!


%26amp; i always match my eye shades with my costumes!


If its day function then i use the light color! %26amp; If its night function then i use darker one!
I wear it a little darker as well
yess!! its best to try and ind the perfect match i think..


:) but it hard inding themm argh..lol
You need to have a foundation that matched your skin tone. Some people have two toned, so you may need two foundation colors. You do not need to go beneath the jaw line, your foundation color should match up perfectly there. After applying your foundation follow up with some powder to give it a nice finish. If you feel pale, then use a bronzing powder, I recommend Mary Kay Bronzing Powder. If you end up buying a foundation color that does not match your skin exactly then you will be putting on a mask and people can tell by looking at you that your face and neck are two different colors!

  • Help! I think my foundation changes colour..?

    And now its turning orange again?!?!?Help! I think my foundation changes colour..?
    Were they different mirrors?


    It could have been the light.Help! I think my foundation changes colour..?
    It probably is the light but make-up can change and look 'orangey' if you have an oily skin. Make sure that you choose a foundation without too much pink or tan tones, a neutral beige is best whether you are light, medium or dark skinned.
    most likely it probably was the lighting or a refelction of something else with a pinkish/orage tone to it that was reflected in the mirror..


    apply your foundation somewhere with really good lighting so you can see everything perfectly


    hope this helps!
    its definitly the light...try a lighter one!
    agreeeeed. Definitely the light! Apply your foundation in natural light; more likely to be accurate!
    it was the light, happens tome sometimes its well annoying, but if you thin its not the light , you could try a new lighter foundation maybey.
    Hmm, it can depends. It could be the lighting, try apply it in the best natural light you can to see properly. Some foundations ';oxidise'; which means they react with the air and they do go slightly orange, but if you looked back again and it was fine then it was probably just lighting. If it seems to get more orangey throughout the day and not go back, the foundations will probably be going more orangey.

    Which l'oreal infallible foundation colours should a pale/fair oriental person get?

    This l'oreal foundation comes in 11 colours. Has anyone with complexion similar to ziyi zhang (or just pale east asian in general) tried it? What colour was most suitable?





    (Was thinking of getting as it is on sale. Vanilla 120 seemed okay, but became darker than neck after 1 hour.)Which l'oreal infallible foundation colours should a pale/fair oriental person get?
    I really can't say but you should take the foundation and test it, but if you do get one that is too dark put it on your neck too so that you don't get a make-up line, and put it on your ears and make sure you rub it in.x

    Foundation help colour and liquid/mousse?

    im pale skinned as im naturally a red head Nude colour always makes me go orange and ivory sometimes makes me look orange is there any way i can apply the ivory colour without it going orange i also use a transparent colour powder over the top to stop me lookin shiney.





    and also whats best to use the mousse foundation or liquid?? i currently use avon liquid foundation but am thinking of going to a shop and getting mousse foundation. thanks xFoundation help colour and liquid/mousse?
    I sometimes have a problem with my redness on my face and i found that using the mineral foundation works really well! It covers my redness and everything. I use the one from avon. You should try it. I thought just a powder won't make me look natural, but it really does. You dont' need anything else. just the mineral powder and a face brush and you're good to go. If i were you, i'd try it. Your face doesn't look fake or anything. very natural. and i think that it would work for your situation too. just a suggestion :)Foundation help colour and liquid/mousse?
    when it gets clumpy like that, i usually get the powder on the big face brush and hit it on something so the powder can get loose on the brush and just brush it all over my face. just put a lil at a time :) that's what i do Report Abuse

    Go to sephora and buy the Get Even powder by Benefit. It will cover up your blemishes and I promise it will not make you look orange. You don't even need foundation if you own it!
    go on powder! and just mineral one

    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
