Ask yourself, ‘Am I more golden or red?’ Those tones really come through in the daylight.”
HOW TO FIND BEST FOUNDATION FOR YOUR SKIN SKIN
So how exactly do we identify our specific undertones? “For darker skin tones, the best way is to look at yourself in a mirror or by taking a selfie while facing the daylight. “For pigmentation on the cheeks or forehead though, I would recommend using the same colour as your foundation, otherwise it’ll look patchy,” she adds. I use hues of gold and apricot or a concealer that’s two shades lighter than the foundation around the T-zone to give dimension,” suggests Caroline. It’s the same for lighter skin tones too. With dark circles and pigmentation being key problems for darker skin tones, what’s the best concealer shade to use to cover them up without dulling the skin at the same time? “For concealing dark circles, concealer’s got to be lighter - don’t match it to the same colour as your foundation as it needs to create light in the face.

How about old school rules for colour matching? “It’s about trial and error. Normally it’s just a case of lifting the colour slightly but with golden tones,” says Caroline.
“When I work on dark skin, I ask that they show me a bit of their chest so that I can identify that colour and bring it into their face. It goes some way to explain those dodgy pictures. Rather than looking at how the shade matches my body as a whole, I’ve concentrated on evening the skin tone on my face and my face alone. This is one mistake that definitely resonates with me - I now see that I’ve been going about shopping for foundation in completely the wrong way for far too long. “The biggest mistake you can make is to look at your face in the mirror and isolate it from the rest of your body." “My biggest tip when applying makeup (which would be the same for those with white skin too), is to try and unify your body with your face,” advises Caroline. Do colour match according to your body, not your face Here are the definitive dos and don’ts for creating flawless skin at home. With far too many pictures of me displaying a different coloured head to my body (before Facebook thankfully - I’ve burned the evidence), I asked Caroline about her advice for finding the best shade to suit your colouring and the makeup tips we should all try before we buy. It can often be harder to lift those darker patches.” As darker skin tones have more pigment in them, scarring takes longer to heal. “Usually dark skin tones will have a mixture due to pigmentation in different areas. “When you have darker skin, you end up having a lot more variation of colour, so it can be really hard to understand firstly, which tone you are and secondly, which one you want to become.” “Yellow and red undertones are the two main undertones in very dark and black skin tones,” explains Caroline. Shopping for a foundation that suits darker skin tones is one thing, but what about ensuring it also matches our undertones too? The devil is in the detail and identifying whether you’re warm or cool-toned could hold the key to finding The One. So, I therefore thought there was no one better to ask really with regards to how I should go about finding my perfect colour match when it comes to foundation.
