Discovering Your Skin Undertone: Simple Tips to Select the Perfect Natural Foundation


Introduction

In the latest video from our favourite beauty guru, Mia Moore, she takes us on a journey into the world of evening makeup glamour. With a focus on achieving a sultry, smoky eye look paired with the perfect rosy nude lip, Mia masterfully demonstrates techniques that can elevate your evening makeup game. If you’re ready for an exciting exploration into high-drama makeup artistry, read on.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Mia first preps her face using a moisturizer and a primer, stressing the importance of a hydrated and smooth canvas for the rest of the makeup.

2. Next, she lightly applies a medium-coverage foundation all over the skin using a damp beauty blender.

3. Using a peachy concealer, she then masks her under-eye circles before setting it with a translucent powder.

4. Mia then proceeds to sculpt her face by using a slightly darker shade of cream contour on the hollows of her cheeks and sides of her nose.

5. Moving on to the eyes, Mia starts by priming her eyelids. She then uses a taupe eyeshadow as her transition colour.

6. For the smoky effect, she uses a rich black eyeshadow on the outer corners of her eyes and a shimmering gold on the center of her lids.

7. After curling her lashes, Mia applies two coats of volumizing mascara and adds a pair of wispy false eyelashes for a dramatic effect.

8. Mia finishes her look by adding a touch of blush, highlighter and a rosy-nude lipstick.

Key Tips and Advice

Mia stresses the importance of blending for achieving a seamless smoky eye effect. She suggests using a fluffy brush for this. Furthermore, a key takeaway from this tutorial is Mia’s choice of color for the smoky eye. By opting for a gold and black combo, she creates a modern twist on the classic smoky eye, proving that it’s always fun and rewarding to experiment with color.

Conclusion

In her tutorial, Mia reminds us that makeup is about expressing our unique style and creativity. Her modern take on the smoky eye and her detailed, easy-to-follow steps can inspire us all to step out of our comfort zones and try something different for our next evening look.

    Wow so I have neutral amd olive undertones. Still not sure if It's leaning towards cool or warm yet so I will be observing myself more. You're video helped me a lot thank you for the tips. I always thought I was tripping when I saw so many different undertones in different occurences when going out. Like, I was told I had the same shade as my friend, who has fair skinned and is leaning to an obvious cool undertone. So she would use her foundation on me and it could pass when I go out but it wasn't exactly right (and by this I mean it wasn't my EXACT match). Also, recently I started using a foundation that was leaning towards warm and I've been out with it a few times cause it didn't look out of place love a tan look every now and then, but the ones who knew about the color wheel definetly noticed it wasn't perfect. Pictures of myself have green hues to it as well! So you're explanation of you're own undertone was like an epiphany to me lolll

    Jesus is coming back. Are you born again? If not, secure your eternity today. You do not have to go to hell. Jesus paid the price for all your sins. If you want to be born again Say the following prayer but you also have to believe it:

    Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins that you was buried and rose from the dead the third day. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior.

    That first part of the video so relatable lol. I use one of Covergirls matte foundations in Classic Ivory which says its for neutral undertones. But I thought it was a tad dark so I went to Ulta and had them shade match me. They said I had warm undertones and matched it to my wrist and the foundation they gave me looks too yellow and just not good. I think I might have neutral leaning towards warm undertones.

    …I have blue veins and silver looks best on me and yet it’s weird because I have a pale yellow undertone and yet rosy a bit because rosy pink makeup looks best on me…so I truly don’t know. Plus warm tone lip colors like warm orange/red lipstick looks absolutely terrible on me. I truly don’t know what tone I am still because I get all these mixed clues.

    FINALLYYY A GOOD VIDEO 😭😭😭😭 its so hard for me to find the right shade cos my neck is SO warm, my chest light cool, my arms are YELLOWWW and then theres my face thats dark red😭😭 the makeup store beauticians always choose a foundation that only evens out my face or neck color but it makes me look so pink/ashy(?)/grey(?) compared to my arms and hands😢😢

    My skin is most of the time brown with a little bit of invisible pink but most of the time it’s bright yellow/green that makes me look sick so I’m not very sure if I’m neutral or warm because I look slightly more warm than neutral but I can still look good in both silver and gold jewelry and I have green/blue veins

    Adding green to my foundation to make it more olive was probably the best makeup tip I had ever learned and has been such a game changer for me! It’s so hard to find light medium olive undertones so making my own is the only way for me really

    i LOVE the idea of making your own match and taking it into a store! cant believe i've never thought of this, so many times i have come back home and been sad that the match is not as good as it could have been especially with in store lighting

    Winter me is a pale, spring me is olive summer me is dark and fall me is yellow. Idk if I look better in gold or silver. I have purple blue vein in my wrist but I have a green vain on my cheek and a blue vein under my eyes. I also have red surrounding nose. I am from the Middle East so I’m not one color, mainly olive tho.

    If everything is too orange for me does it mean I have more blue? I don't get it. I'm definitely not pink toned and I understand pink is cool(blue) toned

    Please Please help me! ❤ I finally found my skin tone, My skin color is lemon yellow color in that circle. (a little darker than that color like 1%) (To make sure I took a mirror and compared my skin color with this color) The problem is I could not find a similar color in the skin tone palette. Can you please help me to identify the name of this color in the foundation category & explain about this lemon yellow color ❤
