Today's video is foundation match before I forget Today is day four for our beginners makeup tutorial series if you've not seen our previous videos I'll be leaving that down in my description box. Okay, so today we'll be talking about undertones We'll be talking about types of undertones how to identify your undertones and also how to customize foundation even it be so if you are interested in that Then keep on watching what we'll get right into this video. So first what is Undertone a lot of you knows what undertone means and then you're like, yeah We know and then some people must have heard but they really do not understand what it really means Then there are some like the beginner beginners have never heard the word undertone and They're like what was she even saying? Okay, so that's why I want to break it down in this video to let you know What undertone means? Okay undertone is the heel that comes through the skin from beneath the surface. Okay, what is the difference between undertone and Skin tone undertone is that color that is beneath your skin while your skin tone It's this color that you're seeing right here at the surface of it So when choosing your foundation, there are three types of undertones that you should bear in mind because you will be Definitely falling under one of the undertone. We have the cool undertones the warm and the neutral undertone the cool tone consists of the red the pink and the blue In their complexion while the warm consists of the orange the yellow the golden the olive in their complexion while the neutral Consists of the white and the gray in their complexion. We are able to identify the undertones So what are the methods that you can use to know which Undertones that you fall into? I have four methods at which I use in checking number one at the risk here or on your risk You can check here. You see a vein around this area here and You check the vein to see what color if it's appear to be greenish You know that you fall under the warm tone family but if you Check and you notice that is a purple or blue vein that is showing right here on your wrist You know that your Your undertone is a cool tone then if You are finding it difficult to detect the color of your veins is neither green blue or Greenish then you probably be on the neutral side number two ways How you can detect if you are one turn warm on the tones cool or neutral is by your Juris which of the juris? Flatters your skin the most so if you put on gold juris and it flatter your skin the most You know that you are on the warm undertones but if silver a Juris flatter your skin the most it therefore means you are on the cool on the tones But if both works for you perfectly It means you are neutral number three test is son tests So either way your skin reacts to son Can definitely tells you what on the tones you belong to so if your skin burns Whenever you are under the sun, you know that you are on the cool tone the cool on the tones But if you tend to turn easily you are on the warm on the tones number four is color tests Pick a mirror stand in front of your mirror Preferably under daylight and then you know bring some dresses Put them closer to your skin whichever flatter your skin the most if Purple white blue black tend to compliment your skin Then you know that you are on the cool undertone, but if you have brown you have orange you have Peach you have yellow You have olive that flatter your skin or compliment your skin Then you know that you are definitely on the warm tone the warm undertone if both Tend to Compliment your skin then congratulations. You are neutral on the tones We've been able to identify our on the tones the difference between on the tones and skin tones and also the types of On the tones that we have so now we are going to go on ahead to choose our foundation Before you choose your foundations There are three things also you should bear in mind Which is the skin tone the skin tone is split into three, which is the light the medium and the day the light Skin tone is associated with the Caucasians while the medium skin tone in a global contest It's largely known to be the Indians while the deep skin tones It's for Africans. So I'm in Nigeria and I'm an African. So I'll be choosing The foundation according to range of the skin tone. These are the three foundations I'm going to be trying. So this is a tester from nubank beauty. This is in number 9 W 9 Acunilli and then this is a milagni in number 11 amber and I have my Maybelline super stay in 330 toffee caramel, so I'm gonna be switching this foundation to see which one suits my skin the most like some Brands that do come up with a foundation like They specify the skin tone the if it's for light if it's medium if it's you know Deep skin tone. So, you know the one that you are actually purchasing I'm also a makeup artist. So I have a range of varieties of Foundations and most of the ones I have is between medium and deep Because these are the kind of people that I meet on a daily basis when it comes to switching your foundation there are some mistakes that I usually see people do by Swatching their foundation at the back of their palm trust me You will never know if this foundation is your true Shade you will not know if it's your undertone or not And it might be lighter than your skin tone or darker than your skin tone So this is not the best way to swatch your foundation swatch your foundation right On your jawline you bring it down to your neck. So this is where you get your original Skin tone or undertone. So it says that this is Too orangey So again, if you want to know if your foundation is truly your skin tone or your undertones You need to wait for a bit for it to you know, sink into your skin for you to really know if this is Your undertone the next foundation. I will be switching is the Milani in number 330 topic caramel So I'm gonna be leaving this foundation to sit on my skin for some minutes Is always looking after some minutes that the foundation have seats on my skin So you notice that this is a no-no is too orangey and then this one looks like something that will actually go with my skin and the one here. This is the Mevelin Superstay This one is the no-burn beauty while this one is the Milani this one Looks a little bit lighter than my skin and this one looks a little bit Dark, okay, so guys always try to match your foundation to your neck You don't want to look like you're wearing a marks by the time you're done With your makeup. I'm gonna be Mixing these two foundation I told you guys that I'm gonna be customizing if I did not get my perfect shade and again I love to mix foundation to get my perfect undertone I'm gonna be taking that right on the back of my palm So I take this light if it's where to be pumped I'll take like two pumps of this then I take like one pump or half pump of this because This is the way I Usually get a perfect match. So the one that is lighter I just put a drop or half pump of that for me to get a perfect match to my undertone Everything is blended that is simple way how I customize Foundation to suit my skin tone. So if you look at this side that I have applied the foundation and this side There is no much difference. It's looking like my skin. I Went on a hair to finish up my foundation and then I applied a little of highlight underneath my eyes I set both my concealer underneath my eyes and then the whole of my face Yeah, so guys that is it for the foundation match So if you got any value out of this video, please don't forget to leave this video a huge thumbs up Leave a comment below and also don't forget to subscribe right here It's free and ring the bell beside it So you get notified anytime I post new videos stay tuned stay blessed and stay beautiful till I come your way next time Bye guys
