![]() Now that you have a fair idea about how to choose the right foundation, here are a few things you should keep in mind during its application for a base that is to die for! Actresses used this foundation for shooting in the 1920s. so I went home and I looked at it some more and was like okay this is the right color (because I had better lighting.The first commercially available foundation was Max Factor’s Pan Cake. This was very helpful I think because in certain light I have like a tan line (or shading on my face whateber way you take it.) on my neck in the middle of my neck at that haha lucky me… and the person at the make up counter matched it to that darker part of my neck (my neck is a bit darker than my face.)It looked right but it didn’t match my lower part of my neck and I was like uhh. My chest might work too thought, I think it is a shad or two darker though. I think it depends on your skin tone and how often light is hitting those parts of your skin and producing melanin. I’m outside alot and I almost never wear long sleeves but any other part of my body that I can see like cleavage or arms ect… and if I hold my arm so my wrist is faceing twords the mirror when I’m looking at my face it’s an almost perfect match. I know it does sound funny to match foundation for the face to the inside of the wrist or arm but honestly that is the part of my body that matches my face lol. By matching your foundation to your chest, you are matching it to a part of your skin that receives relatively the same amount of sun as your face, has a much more even tone than many other parts of the body, and should age rather similarly to your face. As long as you don’t live in the 18th century and have to endure having lace tickle your chin every waking moment, I’m assuming that you wear shirts that expose part of your décolletage from time to time. ![]() You want your face to look relatively in tone with the rest of your skin. So, what’s the best place to match to your foundation? And since when is the inner wrist at all comparable to a face? This can lead you astray in the worst of ways while the rest of my skin has yellowish undertones, if I were to match to my inner wrist, I’d definitely choose a foundation with more pinky undertones, which could lead me to look unnatural, ruddy, and older. Your inner wrist contains a lot of large veins (arteries? I was never good at biology…), and again, gets very little direct sun exposure. Inner wrist - This one, I simply don’t get. I actually have yellow undertones, but if I matched to my jawline, I’d be apt to pick a foundation with pink or beige undertones. For example, my face has a lot of red in it, but the rest of my skin doesn’t. If your face is ruddy or sallow and doesn’t have the same undertones as the rest of your body, you’re also looking at choosing the incorrect shade. Although the difference may not be major, you might not be getting a true gauge of your actual skintone. Jawline - Depending on your bone structure, your jawline may appear, which can cause unintentional highlights or shadows that are lighter or darker than the rest of your face. Match your foundation to your neck, and you run the risk of a washed-out, sickly looking face. It receives the least amount of sun, and contains much lower levels of pigment than many other parts of your skin. ![]() Neck - Because of the shadow your face casts down upon your neck, it only makes sense that your neck is going to be one of the palest parts of your skin. There are many reasons why all of the above are less than ideal, so let’s go through some of them before we explore an even better way to match.
