How Do You Find Your Skin’s Undertone? Shade Matching Your Foundation and Lip | L’Oréal Paris

To find your skin’s undertone, use the vein, jewelry, and fabric tests, then confirm it by swatching three foundation shades along your jawline. Your undertone is warm, cool, or neutral, and unlike your skin tone it does not change with the seasons. Once you know it, both your foundation match and your most flattering lipstick shades become straightforward. In this video Erin Nicole walks through all three tests, swatches three shades of L’Oréal Paris Infallible Fresh Wear Foundation, and shows how undertone carries over into choosing a Colour Riche Satin Lipstick. Finding Your Undertone: Check your wrist in natural light, where blue or purple veins suggest cool, green veins suggest warm, and a mix suggests neutral. Compare gold against silver jewelry, then hold fabric near the face as a baseline. Matching Your Foundation: Swatch three shades along the jawline, one warm, one neutral, one cool, because the jaw lets you see the shade against both face and neck. Erin compares Infallible Fresh Wear Foundation in 435 Rose Vanilla, 440 Natural Rose, and 470 Radiant Honey, and lands on the neutral 440. If a shade reads slightly too light in the swatch, go one shade darker, since it will look much lighter applied all over. Matching Your Lipstick: Cool undertones are generally most flattered by blue-based pinks and berries, warm undertones by warmer nudes and corals, and neutral undertones can wear both.
