How to know foundation shade Videos

I always get wrongly color matched at MAC. I've been to different counters and I've gotten: NW20, NW25, NC40(!), NW40(!) and NC35! Lol. What I do is take my foundation bottle with me in a small clear bag so that I can take it outand match it to a new one. Also, I change the powders that I set it with, that way I don't feel so bad that I have so many foundations that don't match my skin. Lol.

I am sad that I didn't see your channel before, thank you btw and your soo pretty

Foundation is troublesome for me... It's either darker than my skin or whiter

My veins sometimes look green & blue, my skin tone is a lighter tone in the winter and spring but around the summer and fall my skin tone gets like 4-5 shades darker. My powder foundation I use is Nude beige and it matches very nicely. I've never tried liquid foundation and I wasn't sure if liquid foundation shades show up lighter or darker than the powdered version. If you have any answers to this that would help a lot. Thank you xoxo

What's The difference between concealer, powder and foundation

I have very uneven skin tones and the color of my chest is different from my face color and I can't see the color of my veins properly I am very new and interested to makeup what should I do? Please help me. 

I always have trouble when picking out the perfect foundation shade. I suffer from Rosacea in which I have a lot of redness around my cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. My Face is way lighter than my neck, Its like a pinkish pale tone. When I go get color match at the department store, they always match me with a color that looks way dark on me or orangey. 

I have purple veins what does this mean ? X

This was extremely helpful, its kinda mandatory to wear makeup for cheer and i have no experience with makeup what so ever...so thank you!

I have a yellow undertone too but I'm quite light and I went to get matched and it's took an while to find on they either looked ashy , pink, too brown and I thought I found the perfect one and I was so happy and I get home and try to put it on myself and it's orange and makes me look darker like it's perfect in one light and not in the other so now I have to mix huff I didn't realise my skin was so awkward do u know any yellow undertone foundations it would really help

I have bluey/greenish veins and I'm not sure if I have warm or cool tones! Help please! Xox

the area around my mouth is darker than the rest of my face....so foundation for face always looks ashy on that area !! any advice on how to remove that dark area or how to cover it up?

Should I still go by this?? My face is the darkest on my body. It's ok to go a shade lighter to match??

Very good video

just found ur channel, I've watched 2 of ur vids so far.. ur amazing, really good at what u do, I've learned a lot so far. new subbi for life! All the way from Naples, Fl

I sincerly think you're wrong about undertones. I work as a make-up artist in an important store in Italy, and I've seen A LOT of different skin tones and people and "races" during my shifts. People may have a little bit more of redness into their faces 8or neck) than others, but as every professional mua does, you should have a look to the entire body, not stopping your eyes onto someone's face. All people have beige-yellow in the skin (think people without any melanin, dark or pale skinned). Every cool-toned foundation will emphasize the redness and show up like a tomato. Pink-based foundation are not good for anyone. Yellow-neutral-beige foundations are good for everyone.

I've bought 4 different color concealers. They are all always to light for me. My face is different colors, under my eyes it's very white and the rest of my face is pretty tan.. Same with foundation.. I've tried so hard but my arms/hands are much darker than my chest and face..

I use n4 in loreal turematch and i wanna try colorstay but idk wat color i am 

+Amy Macedo I totally understood your last point about not matching the foundation to your face. But to be honest, all I have heard about choosing the correct foundation is finding your foundation match to your face, and decide from there if you want to go darker or lighter. What is your opinion on that? I really gained some confidence in you so I really would like to hear what you have to say about that :)

what if my chest area and my hands have different shades ? :( my hands are more darker than my chest area. which shade should i match ? chest area or my hands ?

I don't know what is my skin tone

How on earth can a supposedly "professional" make up artist select the correct shade of Foundation - without completely removing the shade previously applied to the model's chin area?! She began by using a shade that was far too dark; which she then dabbed with a cotton wool ball to get rid of the surplus - ; before straight away applying a more suitable shade that was paler. You could still see the darker area underneath ! For goodness sake - use a Wet Wipe not a dry cotton wool ball ! I'd never go by what this woman recommends that's for sure. Poor Maybelline - having her to Present and Sell their products .

I'm having the hardest time finding the correct shade! Thank you for these tips' you are beautiful and your makeup looks flawless.

This is so helpful! I'm binge watching your videos now ;)

I'm a cool u dear tone cause when I put my arm next to one of my friends my skin just looks pink!

And then there's the cases that makes absolutely no sense - like me! Im Northern Scandinavian, grey eyes, white eyebrows + lashes, no pigment in hair, no ability to tan, no real pigment in skin either, can use Mac face and body foundation in "white" AND Im warm toned. Well, that depends - I need NC foundations, nothing pink or red, or I look rosacea-like right away , my veins are green, but i look best in silver jewelry and jewel toned clothing. But I also look best in warm toned blush but only cool toned bronzers. And warm toned lipstick as cool toned ones will make my face look greenish and olive-like. But only cool toned eyeshadow as any warm tones will make me look like I have pink eye.

they said if the foundation turns ashy on the face that means you're acidic. I'm not really sure about that though, happens to me a lot so its really hard for me to pick the right foundation shade, I'm currently using MAC NC25, sometimes its okay but sometimes it turns ashy.. ;-;

Can anybody tell me why EVERY foundation I get turnes me orange?

I'm more neutral in most cases so I have trouble finding MAC foundation
