- Hi, I'm Jeffrey Paul, Celebrity Makeup Artist and today, I'm going to show you how to find makeup for your skin tone. When choosing a foundation, there are three basic types of skin tones to make it simple. You have lighter, more complected, maybe pink or slightly golden tones. You have a medium tone, maybe more golden, more rich in color, more saturation of color. And then, you have a lot deeper, darker tones. Today, I'll be using Fit Me Foundation by Maybelline. I prepared Tracy's face with two color swatches so that you could see what I'm talking about in undertones. The first one has a deep tone. It's saturated, has more color to it; but the undertone in the foundation has more red. You can see that if I use this all over on Tracy's face, not only would it be too dark, but it also have the wrong colors, it would make your skin look more solid, more, more drawn. The one closer to her chin, that's great. It has very nice golden tones like Tracy does. She has very light pale golden tones. Third and final foundation choice, you can see no matter how much I put on, it looks like it blends into her skin. For the foundation, you can use a Q-tip to dab the foundation where you need it in key areas and then blend it either with your fingertips or with a brush. I like to usually put it in the parts where I need a little bit more coverage and then blend it out from there. I love using a foundation brush for the sheerness that it creates and the ease of application. You can see with the liquid foundation, it spreads nice, light, evenly on the skin so it doesn't look heavy or weighed down. Your goal in foundation is to have a light application to make it look just like your skin, only better. Spreading around the foundation, you want to start from where you place the little dots outward and upward. I like using a brush with spreading a foundation. It keeps the application light and sheer and removes any excess. You can also see that the color blends very well with Tracy's neck. That way, you know you have made a good color choice. In choosing a foundation, you can always check with a dot on your neck or the inside of your wrist to make sure undertones match. I'm just going to finish spreading out the foundation all the way to the ears and slightly under the chin. Another tip is, you can take your foundation brush and add just a little bit more foundation down under the chin and onto the neck, because right here, whether you're outside during the summertime or anytime during the year, right here just tends to be a lot lighter especially on the summertime to get tan, this still will be lighter. So, it's good to add a little bit of foundation so that the face blends all the way into the neck. And sometimes on the neck too you might have little blemish or something you need to cover or if you're wearing something low cut, it's always great to add a little bit of foundation so that when you're taking those Facebook photos, your face looks even and sheer and radiant. There you have it; that's how you find makeup for your skin tone. I'm Jeffery Paul, thank you for watching.
