Cont:: Is there any where other then going to makeup corner cuz we have non close n girls in drug store are teenagers normaly and just confuse me or if more then one working they cant decide and with being a mother of 6 I cant keep wasting money on it,,,i just need one person who can help point me in right direction to havin nice lookin makeup on my face..thanks so much for any help u can give
ughhh this is so irrating I am 30 n just now getting into makeup before I had my bio kds in 09 i had flawless skin and did not need makeup... well now my skin is a hot mess! And seems like no one can agree with my skin type or if im cool or warm!!!!!!!!!! this is getting very depressing for me I want to feel at least a lil bit pretty again n I am so confused on what I am and what to use! I know to some it is crazy at 30 idk but i also took for granted I would have same skin i did for 28 yrs
I have blue veins in my arms which means I am a cool however I have moles and freckles on my face and when I blonde my matt brown hair it becomes strawberry blonde. Also when I wear peach clothes I look good. I bought a Max Factor Second Skin foundation in warm almond and it suits me. Can someone please unscramble this mess for me? I need to know- it just doesn't make sense.
Hey! I've been trying to guess what you are, because I'm trying to learn, I thought you would be a warm or neutral, but you said your a cool? I thought this because the gold earings near your face looked good with your skin and i read somewhere that silver compliments cool skin tones and gold compliments warm, is that true and is it a good way to determine other peoples skin tones? I want to be a makeup artist and im trying to learn how to match foundation since i have trouble with it. :) xx
What if you have more blue veins but then you also have like one green/olive vein? Would you be considered cool because you have more blue or nuetral because you have somewhat a mixture of both?
I was matched up with foundation once at Estee Lauder in Gottshalks and the woman matched my face up with these color swatches. I put on the foundation and powder in the bathroom and walked out, realizing I looked like a geisha/ghost. I think it's ridiculous to not match up with a mirror and actual foundation swatch. I didn't realize my skin tone until I watched this video, and actually also when I went to Macy's.
when I go to the make-up counter how do i know which foundations are cold or warm?
I have a collection at my house. but i'm still confused as to what I am. it's really frustrating because lately I've been getting really bad break-outs and my face is starting to scar.
thank you. I am almost 44yrs old and i just recently decided i must be a neutrale skin tone because yes you can see my blue vains on my wrists, but i also in the past few years been able to tan. I have tried pink toned foundations and they look a way to pink on me. I thank you for this video as it reconfirms what i have now decided upon. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND GOD BLESS!
thank u!! i actually im a neutral, though more towards warm & i mix 2 diff foundations, 1 from MAC (this 1 is more yellow) n one other lesser known brand which is a cool tone. i add more of MAC lets say ratio is mac:other + 3:1 & it works for me.. i also feel if u ve 20 dollars 2 spare go pick 2 foundations f d same color one in warm & one in cool & wear both on diff days ul instantly know what u are..besides f ur neutral it wont go 4 a waste as u can mix the 2..i suggest tryin loreal or revlon
Hi, I need your help, I think I'm olive, I'm hispanic, tan easy (NC 40 in depth), look good in almost any color, except orange & yellow. Most say I'm warm,My problem is cool shades look pink, warm look orange,both make the surrounding skin look really yellow green. I have so many foundations, most are too orange, could I buy a green or blue corrector & mix it in, to make it more olive? I'm thinking blue would cancel out orange? or green would cancel the red leaving behind yellow and green tones?
I love ur videos not only r they informative, which is very important but mainly ur not boring. Both u & Kandee r my fav's. I'm in the process of self training to become a established MUA it's my life long dream. So thank u for all the valuable info u provide.

These are great tips. Girls, ladies, check out my channel for my anti aging skin care secrets. I'll be 56 in April and no one believes me. I started them in high school. Remember, good make up looks good on great skin. My 20 year old son told me I have to put my secrets out there because no one he knows believes my age, the tips are very inexpensive as well. Hope you check it out and like it. Never too young to start anti aging care. Love to all!
I have obviously blue veins, almost black hair, dark golden brown eyes, and lots of light brown freckles. The freckles confuse me; they look warm to me. How should I pick a foundation?
okay I cant figure it out! I have kind of green veins on my arms. I have olive skin tone and it gets very pale in the winter but in the summer i tan very easily, i dont burn. My skin sometimes can look very yellow or even appear green at sometimes,its never really red or pink,.
I asked this woman at the store who works for Lancome & she told me b/c I'm dark I need to stick to dark colored foundations. She then proceeded to pick out a color that looked like a fake tan for me. I then went w/ the wrist thing & I bounce between beige, classic beige, & warm beige in Cover Girl. I later went back to find out the color she chose for me was called mocha or coffee or something to that effect. I don't know, I saw the bottle & kind of slipped away when she wasn't looking.
Thanks for your video, you cleared up my confusion about my skin undertone. I'm an NC30 in MAC and so I thought I must be a cool undertone but I knew I have yellow undertones so I was confused for awhile.
everytime I get matched I come out as cool but I really want neutral to conteract some of the pink how can you tell if a drugstore foundation is neutral ? I have a really hard time with this undertone thing
@MiSsKaTieMoNsTeR try to swatch it in your neck... if it matches you perfectly go a little bit lighter... if it is lighter than your neck... try to stick to that one...
@lotty971 no use a warm toned foundation, the cool tone may look weird on your skin tone. If you want to take away some yellow I suggest using a foundation with more coverage :)
@spanish4real I have the same problem, use a cool foundation on your skin but to even out the rosacea use a warm concealer of foundation on the red parts only underneath the cool foundation :)
I absolutely adore you! You're so bubbly and you know what you're talking about!! This was very helpful. I am still trying to find the right color. I do have a question about this....How do I know if teh foundation I'm getting is a cool or warm? I buy covergirl (because its all i really can afford) and I don't know how to tell if its a cool or warm. Help?
Okay, thanks I was planning on trying a mac foundation in the next few weeks and hate shopping at dept, stores!! So even though I am cool toned I should pick the shade I think best suits me, but the one with the W in the front of it instead of the C? Why doesn't mac have a bit of its line at Sephora? I wish they would.
So I looked at my veins, and they diffinately have a more green colour than blue, and you cant see them all that well! so i am guessing that it is most likely that i am have a warm skin tone!
so if i was to go to mac, rather than getting NW20, it would be better for me to get either NC20 or NC25 im guessing?
Oh my gosh Camille! This was so helpful! I've never been able to figure out my skin tone or what foundation suits me best! I've always asked some people from MAC but they were actually kinda rude! Anyway... Thanks again! Love your videos!
Just yesterday, I went shopping for a face powder (Loreal true match) and noticed that there's 2 categories: Cool and Warm and was confused and wasn't sure what they meant. Thankfully, I just went with my instincts and got the warmer shade (since I am dark) and it shows up nicely on my skin and TODAY after watching your video I checked and realized that I do have green veins and therefore am a warm. So anyways, thank you for your tips and esp. this one. It really helps!!
Hey there! So quick question....lets say I have cool undertones....should I try to match my cool undertones with foundation? Or counteract them with foundation? I know to counteract blue spots like veins and things I would use a orange concealer...but after I correct those spots should I be looking more for a warmer approach or cooler? LOL I hope this doesn't sound confusing :D
Does this apply to other make up to?like not just foundations. Like bronzers, tinted moisterizers, blushes ect.? Do u pick a cool bronzer or something if ur cool tone amd a warm one if ur warm toned? And wat about tinted moistureizers? Wat happens if u use cool toned make up if ur a warm?
I hear you on the foundations. I used dream matte mousse (which btw isn't very good), ivory but it's still too brown kind of since I'm extreamely white at some points in my face (I have a natural blush and problems with blueness under my eyes, which sadly is genteic).
Regarding the undertones, when I look at my wrist - it feels like I have purple, blue, and green veins. So I can't tell whether I'm warm or cool. & once I wore a creamy color shirt and my friend said I looked good in it and yellow really matches me. But I'm not exactly sure :) What do you think?
thaaaank you!! I think I get it but I'm not sure..
Yesterday I went to the salon to get my hair and makeup done, so.. If the foundation that the guy used on my looked yellow means that I'm a cool undertone??
I use NW35 MINERALIZE SATINFINISH and NC25 STUDIO FIX FLUID , the first one is better when Im tanned in the summer and the second is lighter. The NW is better than the NC and I am refering to the product quality. II can use the mineralize only when I`m tanned and I go to the solarium once in a while. The other one is ok but when I apply it it`s like a mask althoug the colour is the right one. Should I mix them
It used be a nightmare for me to find the right foundation, until I found Motives Custom Blend Foundation. It is designed to match skin tones perfeclty and provides the desired coverage and finish by employing an advanced combination of bases, toners, enhancers, and modifiers.
I don't have that problem anymore!!! Yahooooooo!!!
hi im from australia and i never can get a right foundation.. :S it never matches, i have green veins and they show through alot, when i look at my neck its more yellow and my face is generally red/pink :s so am i warm or a cool?
Mac doesn't have it backwards they just use the color wheel theory. So if you look at a color wheel red is considered warm therefore If you have pinkish undertones you are a 'warm' in Mac and color wheel theory.
@MACMAKEUPJUNKEE It was something I learned the first day @ MAC they reverse it! No Doubt! Straight from My MAC Trainers and numerous other Well Respected MAC Employees I wasn't trashing them for it I worked for them for 5yrs its just a Little know Fact! Seriously!
@TalkinMakeUp idk i asked the MAC Pro manager too, i was like um where i work yellow is warm he told me about the color wheel theory thing and pixiwoo has it too...it kinda makes sense though if you think about red, being hot like fire therefore warm? ......idk, i think eye shadows are much easier lol
@MACMAKEUPJUNKEE I heard that too. So maybe u can help me to understand. Why they consider yellow a cool color if according to the color wheel yellow is a warm color? Besides, the NC foundations r orangey and orange is a warm color too. I don't get it.
@LazyDaisyWY I have green veins on my inner wrist too. (I was also told by an Estee Lauder SA that my undertone is completely blue, making it a true cool.) The only reason I can come up with is, because I have a collagen gene mutation that makes my skin 1/3 "normal" thickness, and I guess then there is more color and opacity in "normal thickness" that makes the veins look blue on most pale cool toned folks.
i am physically yellow... you can see the actual yellow tone... i have such a hard time getting foundation because my face is a whole shade darker... i am like a creamy beige, and neck and chest is like a yellow- ivory color... and i cant get ivory for my face because it would look to white, and if i put a creamy beige it will match my face, but not my neck or chest. Like that my face looks pink, with a yellow chest...
Yes indeed , my skintone changes from time to time !
Somethimes a same foundation looks perfect and the day after too grey. It's hormonal I think...or not enough sleep, ha.. Tx, this was really! good information.. Also the white /cream T-shirt is a great tip !
This video is so helpful and I love hearing someone say MAC has got it backwards! I cannot figure out why they do that and then try to convince us of their theory. They have great products, but on this they are just wrong.
fantastic concepts - cheers, any of you used MAC's most recent range of products?! its difficult to get hold of make-up in Uniopolis yet you can get wonderful samples of make-up by checking out "Gratis-Makeup-Samples"! their awesome.
very interesting..I think I'm a cool..I want to order the graftobian cream makeup, but have no clue what color to order..can you help me..I left a message under the video you posted about it too..thanks rita
You actually happen to be fairly sexy, thanks a ton for your video clip. it's sad im living within Issaquah mainly because i cannot purchase excellent cosmetics, nonetheless i receive no fee samples from "Gratis Makeup Samples". i really like MAC makeup!
You are somewhat sexy, thank you for your movie. it happens to be depressing i'm located within Deer Park due to the fact i can not get hold of high-quality make-up, then again i get hold of free cosmetic samples from "Gratis Makeup Samples". i really like L'Oreal make-up!
good tips and hints appreciate it, anybody tested Olay's latest product line?? it's hard to obtain good makeup in Granite Falls but you can receive magnificent cosmetics samples by using "Gratis-Makeup-Samples"! theyre ace!
its VERY frustrating for me to find the right shade. i am VERY very pale. and iv gon to the counter COUNTLESS times. and they COULD not find one light enough. tho i am defanatly a cool undertone. recently iv tried mac's studio fix fluid in nc15 and it is still to dark. do you have any brands? (counter or drugstore) that you know carry an extreamly light shade? please and thank you!
OMG I'm soooo glad I watched this!!!!! for years I keep trying to figure out if I;m cool or warm. I've always said I think I'm both and I didn't know that it was possible to be both!!!!!???? LOL I've confused myself for sooo many years!! now I have found the answer!!! Thank you!! also when people tell you to look at your veins to see if they are blue or green mine look like both LOL
Finding a foundation that I like seems impossible. I've been matched at counters incorrectly, bought drugstore foundations, bought online blind. The other problem apart from the colour and undertone is the way it feels on my face, I hate to feel like I'm wearing a mask or for the foundation to transfer.
"MACs NW( Neutral Warm) is a Cool Foundation to the rest of the World
MACs NC(Neutral Cool) is a Warm Foundation to the rest of the World"
I LOVE your explanation. It's clear to me, I knew there was something wrong! I mean, I'm a golden undertone, all that suits me the best are warmer clothes and.. my MAC foundation is : NC (neutral-cool). :) thanks, it helped me so much to understand better !!
You are especially pretty, thanks for your movie. it is sad i live within Dewey Beach considering that i aren't able to obtain decent makeup, but i get cost-free trials through "GratisMakeupSamples". i really like Rimmel cosmetics!
There is some color theory involved. I have a lot of pink in my skin. Veins show blue. But I get relatively(to the rest of my face) dark olive discoloration. It's the darnedest think but the pink that I avoided like the plague was actually the right tone. It evens out my color. I use less makeup to hide more because it counters the discoloration while toning down any redness. It's weird but true. There's some green to olive, so yeah red being opposite of green's part of color theory.
Mac NC15 is way too dark for me. My chest is WHITE, but my face a tad darker, so I'm trying to find a foundation to make my paleness stand out. I look good in colors like petroleum, all greens, light blue, CREAM (not white) but also coppery warm shades that matches my hair: intensely coppery hair. That to me, the cool colors, the redness, blue vains, contradict the warm colors, cream and red hair! I'm so confused ... O_o My natural haircolor is a dark blonde with reddish tones to it. damn :-)
Hey im a little confused i did the test with two different ones as you said, one is more whiteyyer and the other is more yellow the whiter one suits me so does that mean im cool ? But its summer so im tanned and confused :s please help !!!
Are there company's that have more "warm" and "cool" foundations than others b/c I can't tell! My veins look green but then I see that half seem to turn blue. I've been told they're blue and others green. Looking at my pic (on my channel) people said "definitely warm". but I know that auburn hair looks good on any tone.
I tried Almays foundation stick 100 and it looks so yellow, while Wet n' Wilds 801 was too pink but blended more easily, but still unnatural. Both mixed was still..meh off
@femmefatale1990 I mean...at my Sephora the girl isn't helpful at all. I have overtones (red pimples, anyone?) but my face flushes pink when I do my makeup and sometimes I won't wear blush b/c of it. As for the white/beige shirt. I like both...grrr...I'm starting to think I'm neutral....
I'm so confuzzled, lol. btw would you recommend a specific brand and number to swipe with?
@femmefatale1990 Lastly (i know I've been commenting a lot), what is the point of knowing? I mean, I've seen "cools" look great in warm colors and vice versa, but no cosmetics say "warm" or "cool" on them. So how would you find another cool or warm foundation from another brand?
great bits of advice thank you!, have anyone sampled MACs newest line of products?? its quite hard to get hold of decent makeup in Dunn but i managed to get some brilliant samples of make-up by going to "GratisMakeupSamples"! there awesome.
YES I have been having this problrm lately and it's soooo frustrating. I use CG, but it's not really liquid. It comes in the little compact things. Well I was mixing them but it gets to be a pain because I apply it throughout the day so then I'm mixing it all over again. Would it be good to put primer on first so it stays on throughout the day??? PLEASE PLEASE answer back! Signed, Desperation

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have had a really big problem finding the right foundation, your video has given me so much information! you are really good at what you do, I am so happy you are sharing with the world.
I have been playing with makeup for a while and your video on on how to become a makeup artist has really helped too. I am still getting the guts to post a how to video :) I have recorded a few but i find that I sound so weird lol.
Thank you so much again and I will be looking out for more
this video was informative but im still not sure what to do
next time im at the store i'll try out what you said about comparing the 2 tones on my wrist
but i've been noticing lately that my foundation for cool skin tone looks waay too pink, especially when i blend it down onto my neck it's so obvious (i get drugstore foundation btw)
so if i have a cool skin tone (or at least i think i do :S) then why is the foundation still too pink? am i just wrong about my skin tone? this is confusing lol
OMG I KNEW IT! A professional at a mac counter tested me. I picked NW15. It blended flawlessly. But, I had always thought that I was a cool tone, as warm colors seemed to make me ruddy looking. But, when we tested it, and I got a W instead of a C I was baffled! She then told me that the outer portion of my face was more warm toned, and the T zone area was cool. But, it still didn't seem right. Now I know! They reverse it! I'm not imagining things after all! HA! Thank you so much for telling me!
I have to say that your videos are wonderfully informative. You are a true pro'. Your passion for Make-up artistry is so contagious. I'm lovin' your vids. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much! This was actually VERY helpful! I've been trying to figure out my skin tone and it's been so hard for me since when you look at my wrist you can DEFINETELY see my blue veins but have redness so it's hard for me to figure it out. Thank you so much!
This was actually VERY helpful! I've been trying to figure out my skin tone since I'm so pale but have redness, looking at my wrist you can definetely see my veins. Thank you so much!
Uh, okay. Well, YOU"RE BRILLIANT! This is how everyone should be, whether they be a doctor, mechanic, stylist, whatever. Great personality, knowledgeable, logical, and realistic. Never have I heard someone be so detailed and coherent, yet simple and straightforward in explaining this subject. If I took everything I've ever read and heard on this and edited out the BS and confusing bits, this video is what one would be left with. I know this sounds dramatic, but I'm completely serious!
this is good information. i used to buy foundation with the yellowish undertone, but now i see i'm a cool. no wonder i never found the perfect color... thank you...
I love your vids, Camille - you are so knowledgeable and lovely :)
Still don't know what my undertones are, but that's cos I think I have yellow in my skin, rather than pink, my veins look green but I think I suit silver jewellery and look good in white, not cream! I don't use Mac foundation but I use the NC35 concealer...
I know a lot about seasonal analysis (12 season Color Me Beautiful type stuff) and I think this was really helpful to people who don't know. One thing you didn't mention is the gold/silver test which I think is one of the defining thing. If I'm helping my friend find there colors usually I first ask if they look better in silver or gold, and they usually know they just don't know what that means.
V E R Y helpful! My question is you say red and blue is cool but my foundation (NC45) seems yellow. It matches, but I don't understand how yellow is for warm tones...
Thanks this video is the MOST imformative that I have seen yet on finding out your what tone your skin is! All it took was one video to see that you really know what you're talking about with makeup ;)
hey how r u ? i just both a mac foundation and they gave me nw 20 and it looks really light but they tried nw25 and it looked orange .. i told them that i was using nc 30 and it looked orange im just really discouraged i always have had a hard time. Should i take it back or just try working with it.
i have been buying mac for a while now..and i could never figure out what NC(#) and NW(#) ment? Is that just netrual with cool undertones or netural with warm undertones then the color of the foundation?
thank you so much! ive never really worn foundation or face makeup only eyes and lips partly because my skin wasn't that discolored but mostly because i have no idea how to find my skin tone! ive tried testing on my wrists but they dont match! you helped so much thanks!
You do such a good job. I cannot tell what my undertones are. I know that I am warm because I look good in earthtones but I think I could be neutral, I was told I was NW47. I'm a dark skinned black girl w true brown eyes. A ?: how do you see undertones? People talk about blue undertones or a person being olive. What exactly is olive? And I can never see blue undertones on blacks and I know they have them but I am blind to it. I have even been told I have blue. I have worn nw47. Thanks!
I have read from somewhere that MAC foundation colors are actually to counter what you have as undertone. If you are warm, you should get an NC to counter or bring out the beauty in your warm tone. And vice versa. Camille, is this true?
also the color jewelry can detetermine.gold=warm tone, silver=cool tone....this is a great video,how can i tell what foundation tone i have at home?i have 3 diff foundations and i cant determine weather they are cool or warm...i am a warm skin tone,and i feel that i have yet to find the right foundation...thanx soooo much for this awsome video
That is correct jewelery can also help determine your skin tone! I wish you luck cause I am a mixer of foundations Because I can never settle with one color! xoxoxo
Hi Camille this make so much sense I been trying to buy foundation from Mac is always mess I am a Latina I am C4 in the powder but in liquid they always I am NC30 It looks like I have a yellow mask on hate it I m going to try NW30 thxs
C4 warms up on the skin for some reason and it becomes brighter as you wear it! I had C3 and C4 both made me look like I had a Liver Condition, go for one of the N shades like 5 or up they really level you out Good Luck! xoxoxo
This was Soooo informative, thank you!!!!!

Most say I'm warm,My problem is cool shades look pink, warm look orange,both make the surrounding skin look really yellow green. I have so many foundations, most are too orange, could I buy a green or blue corrector & mix it in, to make it more olive? I'm thinking blue would cancel out orange? or green would cancel the red leaving behind yellow and green tones?

Gesika1984 11 months ago
okay I cant figure it out! I have kind of green veins on my arms. I have olive skin tone and it gets very pale in the winter but in the summer i tan very easily, i dont burn. My skin sometimes can look very yellow or even appear green at sometimes,its never really red or pink,.

I asked this woman at the store who works for Lancome & she told me b/c I'm dark I need to stick to dark colored foundations. She then proceeded to pick out a color that looked like a fake tan for me. I then went w/ the wrist thing & I bounce between beige, classic beige, & warm beige in Cover Girl. I later went back to find out the color she chose for me was called mocha or coffee or something to that effect. I don't know, I saw the bottle & kind of slipped away when she wasn't looking.

Thanks for your video, you cleared up my confusion about my skin undertone. I'm an NC30 in MAC and so I thought I must be a cool undertone but I knew I have yellow undertones so I was confused for awhile.

Hello,
Mac foundations works the opposite of our undertone if I'm Cool I should wear Warm, If I'm warm I should wear Cool.
All brands works like that when they have C and W undertones? Or is only Mac?

Okay, thanks I was planning on trying a mac foundation in the next few weeks and hate shopping at dept, stores!!

So I looked at my veins, and they diffinately have a more green colour than blue, and you cant see them all that well! so i am guessing that it is most likely that i am have a warm skin tone!
so if i was to go to mac, rather than getting NW20, it would be better for me to get either NC20 or NC25 im guessing?

Just yesterday, I went shopping for a face powder (Loreal true match) and noticed that there's 2 categories: Cool and Warm and was confused and wasn't sure what they meant. Thankfully, I just went with my instincts and got the warmer shade (since I am dark) and it shows up nicely on my skin and TODAY after watching your video I checked and realized that I do have green veins and therefore am a warm. So anyways, thank you for your tips and esp. this one. It really helps!!

Hey there! So quick question....lets say I have cool undertones....should I try to match my cool undertones with foundation? Or counteract them with foundation?

LOL I hope this doesn't sound confusing :D

Does this apply to other make up to?like not just foundations. Like bronzers, tinted moisterizers, blushes ect.? Do u pick a cool bronzer or something if ur cool tone amd a warm one if ur warm toned? And wat about tinted moistureizers? Wat happens if u use cool toned make up if ur a warm?

Regarding the undertones, when I look at my wrist - it feels like I have purple, blue, and green veins. So I can't tell whether I'm warm or cool. & once I wore a creamy color shirt and my friend said I looked good in it and yellow really matches me. But I'm not exactly sure :) What do you think?

I use NW35 MINERALIZE SATINFINISH and NC25 STUDIO FIX FLUID , the first one is better when Im tanned in the summer and the second is lighter. The NW is better than the NC and I am refering to the product quality. II can use the mineralize only when I`m tanned and I go to the solarium once in a while. The other one is ok but when I apply it it`s like a mask althoug the colour is the right one. Should I mix them

Mac doesn't have it backwards they just use the color wheel theory. So if you look at a color wheel red is considered warm therefore If you have pinkish undertones you are a 'warm' in Mac and color wheel theory.

LazyDaisyWY 1 year ago
@LazyDaisyWY I have green veins on my inner wrist too. (I was also told by an Estee Lauder SA that my undertone is completely blue, making it a true cool.) The only reason I can come up with is, because I have a collagen gene mutation that makes my skin 1/3 "normal" thickness, and I guess then there is more color and opacity in "normal thickness" that makes the veins look blue on most pale cool toned folks.

There is some color theory involved. I have a lot of pink in my skin. Veins show blue. But I get relatively(to the rest of my face) dark olive discoloration. It's the darnedest think but the pink that I avoided like the plague was actually the right tone. It evens out my color. I use less makeup to hide more because it counters the discoloration while toning down any redness. It's weird but true. There's some green to olive, so yeah red being opposite of green's part of color theory.

Mac NC15 is way too dark for me. My chest is WHITE, but my face a tad darker, so I'm trying to find a foundation to make my paleness stand out. I look good in colors like petroleum, all greens, light blue, CREAM (not white) but also coppery warm shades that matches my hair: intensely coppery hair. That to me, the cool colors, the redness, blue vains, contradict the warm colors, cream and red hair! I'm so confused ... O_o My natural haircolor is a dark blonde with reddish tones to it. damn :-)

But, when we tested it, and I got a W instead of a C I was baffled! She then told me that the outer portion of my face was more warm toned, and the T zone area was cool. But, it still didn't seem right. Now I know! They reverse it! I'm not imagining things after all! HA! Thank you so much for telling me!

That is correct jewelery can also help determine your skin tone! I wish you luck cause I am a mixer of foundations Because I can never settle with one color! xoxoxo

C4 warms up on the skin for some reason and it becomes brighter as you wear it! I had C3 and C4 both made me look like I had a Liver Condition, go for one of the N shades like 5 or up they really level you out Good Luck! xoxoxo

If I use a liquid concealer can I use a powder foundation to set it?
