FOUNDATION COLOUR MATCHING GUIDE
Finding the perfect foundation shade can be a daunting task, but understanding your skin undertone is the key to achieving a flawless match. Undertones are the subtle hues that exist beneath the surface of your skin, influencing the way foundation shades appear on your complexion. In this guide, we'll explore the three main undertones: warm, cool, and neutral, to help you choose the correct foundation that enhances your natural beauty and ensures you're ready to hit the dance floor with confidence.
Understanding your undertones
-
COOL (C)
Cool undertones are characterised by a rosy, pink, or bluish hue beneath the skin's surface. Those with cool undertones tend to burn more easily in the sun and may have veins that appear bluish. The correct foundation match will help even out your complexion and give a fresh, cool-toned finish.
-
NEUTRAL (N)
Neutral undertones have a balanced mixture of warm and cool hues, resulting in a harmonious blend. If you have neutral undertones, your skin may appear neither predominantly yellow nor pink. The correct foundation match will enhance your natural skin tone and provide a seamless, neutral finish.
-
WARM (W)
If you have warm undertones, your skin may have a golden, peachy, or yellowish hue. People with warm undertones typically tan easily and may have veins that appear more greenish in colour. A correct foundation match will compliment your complexion and provide a warm, sun-kissed glow.
It is important to remember to consider lighting conditions as well, as they can affect the appearance of foundation on your skin. Dance Foundation is typically worn for performances under harsh stage lights, in this instance we recommend choosing a foundation 1-2 shades darker than your natural skin tone to avoid looking washed out under the lights.
