Understanding Your Skin Undertones and Choosing the Right Foundation and Concealer for Cool, Warm, and Neutral Tones


Introduction:
In the video “Glam Makeup Tutorial,” beauty vlogger extraordinaire, Lisa Glam shares her secrets to achieving an opulent, trend-forward look. This step-by-step tutorial offers an in-depth look at the creation of a stunning, full-glam makeup application, incorporating a smokey eye, flawless complexion, and bold lip color. Perfect for an evening out or any special occasion, this walk-through guarantees to help you replicate the dazzling glam makeup right at home.

Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Lisa starts with a cleansed and moisturized face, re-emphasizing the importance of skincare as a base for any makeup application.
2. She uses a color-correcting primer to even out the skin tone and protect the skin against makeup, followed by a full-coverage foundation.
3. For the eyes, she begins with a light beige eyeshadow as a base, then progressively builds up with darker shades on the outer crease, creating a stunning smokey effect.
4. A liquid liner is employed to create the classic winged eye while the lower lash line is smudged with a darker shadow.
5. To create a flawless complexion, a concealer is used under the eyes to brighten the area, followed by contouring the face to provide depth and dimension.
6. An intense blush shade and a highlighter polished the look, bringing a radiant glow to the complexion.
7. The lips are lined and filled with a bold, dark lipstick complimenting the eye look.

Key Tips and Advice:
Lisa had many nuggets of priceless advice. However, the most impactful ones include; always take the time to blend, whether it’s eyeshadow or foundation – blending is the key to a seamless look. Secondly, ensure that all your tools are clean before you start for a sanitary and professional application. Lastly, Lisa advises not to be afraid of color and experiment with various shades and products – makeup is an art and a form of self-expression.

Conclusion:
In this tutorial, Lisa not only demonstrated how to create an elegant and glamorous look but also emphasized the importance of finding your unique beauty style. The message is clear: makeup is a fun, creative way to express ourselves, and every individual should feel free to try something new.

Product and Tool Listing:

Foundation – ‘NARS Sheer Glow Foundation’: This foundation is known for its stunning, natural finish. Used to create an even skin tone
Eyeshadow – ‘Huda Beauty Rose Gold Palette’: A extensive range of warm, earth-toned colors used to build up the smokey eye

Remember, while the products make a difference, it’s your skills and creativity that truly set your makeup game apart. Now go ahead, create, express, and make every day uniquely beautiful.

    So just because you look yellow doesnโ€™t mean youโ€™re yellow undertone? Because i canโ€™t seem to see past the overtone. Like the nars foundation cadiz.

    I know my undertone finally it leans more warm/neutral what makes it annoying is brands have their own concept of what undertones look like. Like loreal leans more neutral even with their warm under tones compared to something like elf or another brand

    So, after watching this I'm still as confused as ever. I just can't seem to find an explanation on undertones that clicks in my brain. My veins are bluish-green, neither one or the other, but a combination, I've tried neutral colors but I look like I'm wearing makeup, I've tried cool tones but they make me look sallow. I've tried warm tones and they make me look orange. I give up.

    @girlgetglamorous I have been trying to find a foundation that will not look blotchy on me. I have a rosy undertone and I am fair skin. Can you help? I seem to run more dry.

    by @snappy_gilmore

    As soon as you blended out that peach tone on your cheek I literally went "wooooow…" because for one, I didn't realize peach was a tone. For two, your skin tone is quite similar to mine. I thought I was neutral this whole time but now I know that the pink/redness in my skin is just on the surface, not my undertone. I'm gonna have to try peach tones and see how it works. Thank for the video.

    This was AMAZING thank you! As someone who is fair skinned, with red overtones, I'm tired of 1) thinking I'm a cool tone 2) putting on cool foundation, looking like a ghost, and trying to convince myself that's normal. And even the makeup artists at Sephora think I'm cool, but I think it's the kind of thing that you don't know about unless you have personal experience with it. I think I must be neutral or peach!

    Personally i dont mind when its lighter because i do a lot of alternative makeup so i always choose the lightest shade because im pretty pale myself and they are usually still too yellow

    What if you only wear concealer on spots/discoloration on your chin? I think the concealer would be blended out less and more concentrated, so wouldnโ€™t it automatically look darker for example? Would that change my color decision? I never wear foundation by the way! So just concealer on itโ€™s own.

    Thank you for this.

    I was told to rub a bit of foundation on your wrist to match the perfect colour. Is that still true?
    I haven't worn foundation in years 'cause I could never find the right one that matches.

    Mac has a NW and NC for a reason. If your neutral you mix them 50/50 together or warm it up with a bronzer. The drugstore ones usually only have foundations for people that are cool toned or medium tone.

    I have trouble cuz I donโ€™t like light makeup,and I like looking a little darker,but they also seem so thick I just canโ€™t find one that isnโ€™t thick,so I wear the kind that is for summertime and then they donโ€™t cover.

    As a very light olive tone… it's an extreme struggle to find any foundation that perfectly matches on its own. Most of the time I have to blend with 2-3 different shades to even get close, or add a tiny dot of green foundation. Would love to see some foundation suggestions for us light olive tone girls.

    I just found out by Terry will send a discovery kit for $5 USD or ยฃ5 / โ‚ฌ5 in UK / Euro and ship out a bunch of samples. I picked fait / light. They sent me 6 foundation samples in the fair and light in Cool, Neutral and warm undertones to try. Also included was a mini hydro setting powder, a few cc creams, 2 shades of concealer, and some other skin care samples. Then when u go to purchase full size products, you get the $5 back in a coupon code towards the purchase.
