Product Information

While most people probably already have an inkling of what their skin tone is, the same can’t always be said for undertones. The difference between the two is that your skin tone refers to your overall complexion, whereas undertone refer to the colors that come through your complexion and affect its overall hue. To easily determine your undertone try one of these two methods below:

Editor’s tip: Don’t forget to set your foundation makeup with powder. Reach for the L’Oréal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Powder and dust it lightly across your face after applying your foundation. Personally, what I look for in a foundation ismedium coverage – not too light (that's what my best tinted moisturizers are for), and not too heavy or opaque, I don't want to look like I'm wearing a mask. Crucially (some might say annoyingly) it can't be too shiny – it has to reach that glowing sweet spot without looking – well, sweaty. It also has to stay in place all day, as there's nothing worse than looking in the office bathroom mirror at 3pm to realize that your base has totally vanished. As we mentioned, cool undertones appear in your complexion as hints of blue or pink and will be categorized as C in True Match Super-Blendable Foundation. Warm undertones appear more yellow or golden and appear as W in True Match Super-Blendable Foundation. If your undertones are neutral, which means you have a mix of warm and cool undertones, this will appear as N in True Match Super-Blendable Foundation. As the weather changes, so may your skin tone. While your summer shade may be a perfect match when you have a glowing tan, it is unlikely to still work in the middle of winter. Your undertone will remain the same, but the depth of your foundation shade will need to be colour matched again as your skin tone changes to ensure your complexion is flawless all year.Step 2. Next, use a damp makeup blender to buff your foundation, working from the center of your face, outward. Follow up with concealer like the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Full Wear Concealer up to 24H Full Coverage to mask blemishes or add more coverage. Additionally, choose one that’s two shades lighter to highlight the face or two shades deeper to contour.

Start off by applying a primer, like the L’Oréal Paris Prime Lab Up to 24H Pore Minimizer, to create a smooth and even base for your foundation. A thin layer can make all the difference in how your makeup lasts and looks — smoothing lines, concealing pores, and minimizing redness. There are no rules when it comes to accessories, but one metal often looks the most flattering. Consider which best suits your skin tone. Those with cool undertones tend to suit silver jewellery, and warm tones often are most flattered by gold. If you suit both, your undertone is neutral.

Step 3: Test on bare skin

Keep in mind that depending on the season, your complexion might change. You may be lighter in the winter due to less sun exposure, and darker in the summer if you tan. So be sure to apply a swipe of foundation first and look at it under different lighting before doing your entire face. And when it comes to lightning, don’t just rely on your bathroom lights (since you most likely won’t have bright lights around you all the time), be sure to test out your foundation in natural lighting to get a sense of what it will look like when you’re spending time outside. Once you know your undertone and depth category, here are the exact shades you have to choose from.
