You can also use L’Oréal Paris’s Virtual undertone finder quiz to help you identify your undertone if you're still unsure. You just answer a few questions and you get the results sent directly to your inbox. Editor’s tip: It’s never a bad idea to also grab another foundation one shade up or down from your match to accommodate seasonal skin tone changes. If you tend to tan really deeply in the summer or get really pale in the winter, you’ll need to switch your foundation when the seasons change. Take your lash game to new heights with a few coats of mascara. We like the L’Oréal Paris Bambi Eye Waterproof Mascara, Lasting Volume, which works to elongate and lift your lashes for a defined finish.

Step #2: Highlight. Reach for a color that’s one to two shades lighter than your skin tone. This will be used to highlight the high points of your face. Apply it in upside-down triangles under your eyes, to the center of your forehead and chin, beneath the hollows of your cheeks, and down the bridge of your nose. The more shades the better, when you know how to narrow down your foundation match. When a collection has more than three dozen shades it can start to feel overwhelming, especially if you’re new to makeup. It all starts with skin tone, and then undertones are the next consideration.

OUR BEST CONCEALER STICK

It’s important to understand that the foundations that fall within a range of shades don’t simply have minor differences in their depth 一 their undertones also differ, which makes a huge difference on the skin. When you choose a shade of foundation, you should grab one that matches both your skin tone or depth, and your undertones for a true your-skin-but-better look. If you consider your fair skin tone to be particularly pale in color, reach for one of these shades to get your best color match: Snow (390), Rose Pearl (395), Pearl (400), Porcelain (405), Ivory (410). Those with deep, dark and caramel skin tones should reach for the following shades: Mocha (370), Deep Amber (375), Ebony (390). If you have an olive or medium skin tone try one of these shades: Amber (300), Hazelnut (330), Sienna (355), Copper (365).
