can someone tell me how to find my shade in powder foundation? im not interested in liquid foundation since my face is not in a good condition, i try finding my shade in liqud foundation since fiding your shade that way is easier but after i found my shade and went to powder the names are different + number ? !!!!! .

PS. im a makeup newbie + i want to use mineral fd

[mlledebeaute]

@pofy100 by powder do you mean loose powder? not pressed powder?

first of all for mineral, i definitely recommend bare minerals so if you go to sephora they will help you. but if you want a drugstore one, i would take the powder and compare it to your jaw. i also recommend buying it at cvs or some other store that allows returns (be careful many stores DO NOT allow opened products to be returned)

You need to do your eyebrows.

i am so hopeless at finding the right skin shades for me. especially since the store lighting is so horrible!

Thanks for the tips. I always have such a hard time finding a foundation.

@OwnedByMyAPBT Wow i never knew that. thank so much for the tip! i kinda figured that i have a yellow undertone because those matched me best and im asian :P lol

i agree professional matching is the best most of the time, you just have to be careful how you look in the sunlight versus under florescent.

I have been wearing makeup for many years, and still I struggle with this when I try new foundations. Undertones always confused me, but I picked up the tip of looking at your veins on your wrist & up your inner arm. If they look more green you have a yelllow undertone and if they look more blue than you have a pink undertone. Just getting matched at a makeup counter & bringing your perfect match with you shopping is pretty fail proof though!
