Hi Everyone,
I'm back with another post ! This is an interesting one. I'm going to post about the issue of skin undertone. Knowing your skin undertone can make a huge difference in your makeup
application specially when it comes to choosing foundations. In order to have a perfectly matching foundation, you should match both
the skin tone (i.e.: beige, ivory, caramel, mocha, etc.) and the skin's
undertone (i.e.: pink/red, yellow, yellow-green (also called olive)).
For example, if you need to use an ivory colored foundation on a client
and your client's undertone is pink, but you use an ivory colored
foundation with a yellow undertone the result will be flat and
unnatural looking.
All MAC foundations have been coded NC for Neutral Cool and NW for Neutral Warm with their numbers , the lighter the shade the lower the number and the higher the number the darker the shade.
At times too, you hear about yellow and blue skin undertones. They may sound confusing but trust me after this post you'll be a master of your skin.
