How To Identify The Best Concealer and Foundation Shade For You

How To Identify The Best Concealer and Foundation Shade For You

Alright, let's talk about finding the right foundation and concealer shade for you. It's not always easy, we know. With so many shades and undertones out there, it can feel like you need a PhD in color theory just to pick the right one. But don't worry, we've got you covered.

First things first, let's talk undertones. You might have heard of warm, cool, and neutral undertones before, but what do they even mean? Basically, it comes down to the underlying color in your skin. If you have warm undertones, your skin will have a yellow, peachy, or golden hue. If you have cool undertones, your skin will have more of a pink, red, or blue hue. And if you have neutral undertones, you're somewhere in between. So, how do you figure out your undertone? One trick is to look at the veins on your wrist. If they appear green, you likely have warm undertones. If they appear blue or purple, you likely have cool undertones. And if you can't quite tell, you might have neutral undertones.

Another thing to consider is your jewelry preference. Do you look better in gold or silver? If gold looks better on you, you likely have warm undertones. If silver looks better, you likely have cool undertones.

Now, let's talk tanning. If you're someone who tans easily, you might want to consider going a shade or two darker than your natural skin tone. But if you're someone who burns easily or doesn't tan at all, you'll want to stick with a shade that matches your natural skin tone.

With our On The Glow Concealer, you’ll never have to guess what shade will look best on you as we have a shade finder that can help you figure out which shade of concealer to get. And trust us, this stuff is amazing. It's lightweight, buildable, and looks like your skin but better.

So, there you have it. Finding the right foundation and concealer shade might seem like a daunting task, but with a little bit of knowledge and some help from Kite Beauty, you'll be looking flawless in no time.
