Glad I’ve found you! I’m not Indian, I’m mixed but all my ‘shade twins’ seem to be Indian girls. You’ve helped me decide on what shades to get in some of these :)
Fenty 250 and Mac NC42 are totally different I mean I’m NC 37-NC 40 but fenty shade 290 . Can’t imagine 250 is matching shade for you.. even maybelline 220 and L’Oréal 6.5 are few shade difference isn’t it?? You must be mixing them or use colour correct, but there are more similar shades in each brand . listing my collection for someone who is closer to my shades I go for Mac NC40 /Fenty 290/ Too faced- golden beige/Nars -Stromboli/ Estée Lauder -3CW Cashew, beauty blender 3.3(little ashy, more neutral undertone than warm), Bobby brown -4.5, Laura Mercier - Chai (bit warmer)
Thank you for this! I know they seem a bit different but you also have to factor in how our skin reacts to certain foundation. I like 250 from fenty because it has a warm undertone and it really oxidises on my skin to maybe a 300 colour which is ideal for me. I also use them at different times of the year and my summer shades are a lot deeper than my winter. I like the way Maybelline 220 looks on my skin because the coverage is so light that its almost too sheer and my skin peaks through which I love. I also don't use this foundation all over my face. When I go more full coverage I find I need to go deep in tone because I find my skin really reacts to foundation and causes them to look off on me. Yes loreal 6.5 is deeper but I like to use that for fuller coverage looks. It all depends on how these formulas react on your skin. I love the fact that you brought this up! Thank you! I do like to have a range of colours around my skin tone for when it changes throughout the year xx
We are exact matches, what shade do u use for giorgio armani luminous silk, i am comfused between 6.5 and 7.5. I normally tend to find Anchal Mua shades to match me, For this particular one i am confused.
@@suhanimaheshwari2312 No hun , haven’t tried it yet... I go to Anchalmua for the foundation shades .. I’m looking for the perfect Charlotte tilbury flawless foundation shade , she is 8 cool .. app recommend 7.5 neutral with my Fenty shade and 8 warm for my Estée shade 🤨..
@@SimSagoo D”do you hv a video tutorial you wearing 250 hun? Wanna hv a look how it ll look like..I noticed it’s a beautiful shade. Never tried it thinking it’s too light
@@harshtruth4620 isnt she 8 Warm, I suppose. I use 7.5 Warm in CT because 8 was little bit warmer and darker on me. I use fenty 300 because 290 was a little too much olive for my skin tone though 300 is tad darker after it settles on my skin.
I love how you explained this subject, the undertones and everything. And I loooove how you match your foundation to your body skin color. Looks so beautiful.
Aww thank you! I have to remind myself that there are people of all walks of life and experience when it comes to make up so I need to be detailed but not waffle on haha. It's a find line for me! Glad you enjoyed it! xo
I’m not Indian, I’m Hispanic, but I can say I’ve found my skin looks similar to Indian girls here on RUclips! I have always found it difficult to find a good foundation to match my skin. Everytime I’ve asked to be matched at Sephora/Ulta the ladies have mentioned I have olive undertones. The last foundation I’ve been matched to is Nars radiant long wear in Stromboli I love the shade but I feel like it’s just a BIT too light. Any recommendations? 😓
I'm Indian and I have used Nars sheer glow in syracuse. It used to be the perfect shade for me but after a couple of years of being more careful in the sun, it's just a touch too dark for me. It's a lovely shade though!
Oh my god hey foundation twin!!! Isn't it the best! After all these years it's still one of my favourites! I'm not the type of person to go after hyped up products but the Armani one actually deserves all the hype! I'd love to see a picture of you wearing it! Tag me @simsagoo on IG xoxo
I hear you! If you watch a few of my videos you will see how I do it! I basically use a warmer foundation to match my face and to colour correct and then I brighten with a lighter concealer shade. It stops me from looking grey! xoxo
BTW I just discovered your channel. I am from UK 🇬🇧 and I am pretty close to your skin tone. The colour.... is a tuff one to find lol 😂😂 and I see you have not made any videos recently, would like to see more. I am NC42. As a ref.
As soon as I saw your video, I quickly subscribed! You are gorgeous and so soothing to listen to. Thank you for this video! Looking forward to seeing more. Thanks!
You look soo pretty! 😍 This video was very helpful. Thank you so much for the swatches. 🤍✨ It would be even better if you enlisted the products and the shades in the description box. It’s a little difficult to remember them all. Also, not all foundations with SPF will give you flashback. Mostly only those ones with a physical sunscreen will do that. So scan the ingredient list for Zinc Oxide and Titanium dioxide. These are the main culprits usually. Same with setting powders. Setting powders containing silica will leave a whitish cast. So best to avoid for photography
Hi Sanya! Ah I just got caught up in something but wanted to get the video live already. I'll update the description now! That's right the ones with physical sunscreen cause flashback but I'm not sure I know of any foundations with chemical ingredients. They all tend to have titanium dioxide or zinc oxide and honestly I really wanted to delve deeper into that but I have been told I talk to much and to keep it short haha! You are so right with everything you have said! Thank you so much for commenting this it will definitely help anyone who reads it, I really appreciate it! You legend! xoxo
@@SimSagoo You don’t talk too much 🥺 but yeah there is so much information on this it can be a whole different video Most foundations will have titanium dioxide in small quantities because it’s also used as a pigment. I guess the flashback aspect really depends on the quantity of these ingredients in the products. As far as a foundation with chemical sunscreen goes, I think physicians formula has one. It’s also supposed to be a dupe for the LaMer one so you can check it out if you ever get the chance to. And thanks for updating the description 🥰
I’m a shade darker than you and the Nars sheer glow is perfect. I find all foundations dry down darker on me so after 15 mins it’s pretty much perfect. However, I am Valencia in their other foundation. Annoying when brands do that. Would be easier if I was same shade in all their foundations!
@@SimSagoo I love the radiant longwear one. I also love Pat McGrath. You will probably be medium 15. Anchal did a review on it. It’s so dewy and moisturising. I got mine off eBay as I know it’s expensive! I bought medium 15 but I feel it is a tad dark.
Glad to have this video. Koh Gen Do is a fabulous foundation too! I feel like you and I (in summer) are a similar shade so maybe give shade 143 a chance
Great vid and tips for making the most of your foundation. My skin has changed a lot now I’m in my late 40s, I’m more combination skin, so some foundations now starting to look cakey which I hate and didn’t know what to do with. Gonna have to add more oils in certain areas like you’ve suggested.
Yes! Oils work wonders for me and I use it a lot on clients similar to your age. I also recommend trying oils underneath your make up. The foundation may be caking up because your skin is dry in certain areas and your face draws out the moisture form the foundation. So if you can layer up the moisture underneath using creams and oils you will notice such a difference! xox
Great video !! Can you please tell me which shade should I buy in L'Oreal true match ? I am currently using Maybelline fit me, shade 115 Ivory....Super confused !!!
Hi, thank you!! You can find shade options on findation.com/ If you have a few foundations you can add it to the search and it will show you colour matches of all foundations! Let me know if you need more help beyond this I will try to do a bit of research for you xoxo
Wonderful! Geez I wear all these shades and I’m loving Ilia brand in the shade Catalina . I agree Nars Valencia is better but honestly I mix it with Barcelona. My other favs are EX-1 in shade 11 and La Mer in honey ( summer shade)
Ohhh that's intersting! Why do you mix Valencia and Barcelona? For the colour or the undertone? I tried EX11 in shade 11 and found it super dark :( I've never tried La Mer. Is it worth the price tag?! xo
Hi Simran, I mix the Valencia with Barcelona because Valencia oxidizes, yah I agree the Ex shade is a tad bit darker but I love the neutral undertone and use it mostly on my chin (hyperpigmentation). No don’t bother with LaMer I bought it because of its skin benefits but honestly you can achieve that with a great hydrating toner like the fermented rice toners from Korea game changer in skin hydration. I also forgot to mention how I love bare minerals.
Thank you! I used MAC Spice Lip liner with Dose of colors My main which was limited edition but Huda Trendsetter is quite similar to the Dose of colors! xo
I'm at us serious crossroads. Scouring the internet looking at colors watching reviews. My doctor wanted my vitamin D up. I must tan I must get in the sun. Soon as the sun kisses my skin I turn and all of brown color. If I really tan I get deep dark brown mahogany. But with all of. So cool tones don't look good on me. Yellow tones make me look like I have a liver issue. I hope this helps me. I'm actually your color right now. And I know during the summer I'll be way deeper. Oh please help me. Haha. I definitely don't like a full coverage. I'm not that type of girl. I'm 44 I have fine lines, I get oily in my T-Zone. The rest of my skin is normal balanced. Fingers crossed you can steer me in some sort of direction. It's hilarious to look at my foundations on my skin now. And I grabbed a few from the drugstore. Not my cup of tea. Or color. I hate to admit this but I've been using concealer instead of foundation. Because it matches my skin so well. Oh I just want a nice foundation, that actually matches me. It's been so long since I've had tan skin. Okie dokie I have 7.5 in my cart of the Armani silk. Oh my gosh I'm going on the right track. Oh you have just brought ease to my heart. Oh my goodness thank you thank you thank you.
Hi! I use concealer instead of foundation at times when I want maximum coverage with minimum product! Ahhh let me know how the Armani goes! I love that foundation so much! xoxo
Praline really ? But I looooove how you present You could be the most intelligent you tubers ! Pretty as well . I wonder why aren’t you with a million followers. Check that out . You have all to be no.1
Yes girl! Praline is a gorgeous shade! It's a bit on the deeper side but has the perfect undertone and works perfectly for my summer shade. Aww thank you so much! You are so sweet! I hope I get to reach more people like you through this platform who love to talk honestly about products xo
Ah I'm glad! I really need to start writing these colours down because I always mix colours and forget 🙊This is definitely Spice Lip liner from MAC and I believe a Dose of Colours DesixKaty My Main which was limited edition sorry 🙈🙈 I will try to find a dupe for you! xoxo
Yeaaa super annoying! Sadly that only depends on person to oerson and how our skin causes the foundation to oxidise. Like that happens with the fenty one for me. It's too yellow to begin with but dries down to a lovely colour for me! xo
