- Hi Friends! I hope you enjoy this video. I am hoping it is as helpful as I set out for it to be. This was such a great recommendation from a viewer! Identifying and understanding undertones can be so tricky especially because some brands use different names, or categorize them differently than others. To keep it simple I just try and identify shades that have more yellow or more pink and ones that are neutral and go from there.

PSA: I worked at Target as a beauty consultant and we can help you find the correct match for you - we’re allowed to open products and give out samples and things like that :) So if you see any employees in the cosmetics section, don’t be afraid to ask. Same for Walgreens! There aren’t beauty consultants in every single store but it’s a nice thing to know! Drugstores are stepping up their game.
Yes, Walgreens is. And you can return a foundation in Walgreens if you just buy one and get it home and it's not the right shade.
peachy75019 yep! same for target!
That is so helpful to know! Thank you so much!
sunny ray that is great to know! Thank you so much for that info!
So far I've had my best foundation matching experience at a Walgreen's. That girl was spot on!
The employees at our local Ulta and Sephora *need* to watch this! They can't find your correct color to save their lives!
I did not have any luck with local Sephora either, sort of dark and to be honest I could not tell in the mirror she had me look at it in, until I got home. In hindsight , will go out to the car in daylight since the store is so dark. They should have a well lit mirror or something , maybe like make up depts in stores have, not one of those mirrors glued on the columns in the store Have not been back
I got "shade matched" at a Sephora and to be fair, color looked great in store. As soon as I got out in more natural lighting, I looked like a ghost. I paid $40 for foundation that wasn't even remotely my shade. 😂😂😂
Yes! Big facts!
Exactly!! Ulta Estée Lauder rep matched me with Ivory Beige when my skin is way more warm than cool....I looked so grey and returned it.
I have ALWAYS been mismatched. I have olive skin with rosacea so I’ve been matched with pink undertones due to the rosacea and yellow undertones due to color of my neck, but pink always looks horrible and unnatural and yellow always pulls way too yellow due to the olive undertones. I have only ever found 2 foundations that really match me perfectly
Finally, a makeup artist who takes the time to demonstrate with models how to choose a good color for foundation !!!!!
Very informative. Best tip: when deciding between two shades, go with the lighter shade and adjust with bronzer. Dynamite! Thank you, Lisa.
Ditto!
Great educational video Lisa! Very useful information. I really enjoy this type of content.
Thank you Julie!
Good for you that you have such a diverse group of friends. Right on!
Omg, kamal is gorgeous even without makeup. 😍
Lisa, I love all your videos and stories, but these type of tutorials is where you really shine! You are a natural at it. Your friend Kelly is a doll!
This was great Lisa! I love Kelly's reaction. It's a great feeling when you actually love the way your make-up (especially foundation) looks!
Yes! Thanks Joann!
Lisa is an excellent instructor. I love how she uses four different skin tones in this video.
I ran into this video randomly and it is simply amazing! I love the way you explained the undertones and your side to side foundation swatch demos!!
I just started working as a beauty advisor at Ulta and the hardest thing for me has been helping color match customers without being able to use testers and finding the undertones but this video honestly helped break it down sooo much!!
Great video Lisa! I felt as though I was in a mini makeup class. Your instruction and demos on your friends were important because as a visual learner, it drove it home for me. Thank you again! Your models were wonderful!
So glad to hear! Thanks Jan!
@@lisajmakeup Would have been helpful to see you match the under-represented olive undertone.
I've tried to understand undertones for years and defaulted to neutral to avoid the issue. It works for me and you just explained why it works. Thank you!
Another great helpful session-Thank you Lisa. LOVED Kelly’s personality x
I also sincerely enjoyed this video hey. It’s so educational. I love the mix of theory (telling us about undertones) and the practical component where you demonstrated it on actual different undertones. This is literally the first RUclips makeup vid that’s like this. I’m inspired and encourage you to continued making your vids this way. Thank you girl😇
I’ve officially just subscribed. Can’t wait to follow what else you’ll be doing next. I’ll Defs suggest a few things once I’ve viewed the kind of content you have on your channel Lisa. Thanks so much.
This is soooo helpful to see it on actual people. Your friends all have beautiful skin and are very pretty. Thank you Lisa. Please keep this educational series going!
Thank you so much Wendy! :)
This was an awesome video! It was so helpful to see the differences between your friends' skin tones and undertones and how you matched the foundation. Kelly's reaction was especially cute! Thank you for describing the color names because I've been buying beige but I think I'm neutral. This will definitely help me get a better foundation match. 👏🏻👏🏻❤️
So glad to hear it will be helpful! Thank you Lily! :)
I think this is one of my favorite videos you’ve done! I learned so much and loved the interaction with your friends. You really are an artist!
This was one of my favorite videos, Lisa! Not only is it a topic I seriously struggle with, I loved you having your friends to match foundations on. It is very helpful to see other skin types and shades and I just really enjoyed the whole thing. I learned to match my chest rather than under my neck/jaw line and I learned neutral is probably good for me because it has both red and yellow.
Thanks for this video I will be looking forward to another like it. Love learning new things even at 78 yrs old.
I’m Italian with olive skin (tan so easily & never burn). I was always told that I have yellow undertones. However, I personally have always thought that every foundation I’ve ever used made me look yellow or orange so I eventually just gave up and quit wearing foundation. I recently decided to give it another go but have started buying neutral foundations. They seem to work for me so I guess having olive skin doesn’t necessarily mean you’re definitely a warm/yellow undertone.
Yes, it definitely does not! I hope this helped a bit! Thanks Lauren! :)
I need to start trying neutral tones. ........
Lauren Kalbach this is my issue as well; I’ve always been told I have warm undertones but I’m way happier with neutral tones.
Dior has specific olive foundations in their new foundation line. They have a greenish tint to them which works great for us olive girls. Sephora just did a video on matching olive undertones. I also am olive but light to medium skin.
SAME HERE!!!!! Just recently found out!!
Thank you! I have been trying to figure out my undertone for a long time! Love these educational videos❤️
Tracey🌸
What a great and informative video Lisa. I have finally found my undertone. Love all your videos ! Thanks again!
This was so fun and helpful! Thank you Lisa and friends for helping us all out!♡
Thank you so much Stephanie!
Thank you so much for filming videos like this! They are so informative and helpful!
Great! So glad you liked it! Thanks!
Lisa Id love to see you do more model demos like this!!! Super helpful and Fun!!!
Thanks for the video! It’s great that you demonstrated on multiple ethnicities and skin tones! Super helpful 👍
Thank you so much for this video, Lisa! Yes, please do more education/technique-related ones, especially featuring people with diverse skin tones, ages, and skin types all in one video. You must really have been a very effective trainer at MAC.
Lovely ladies, I fall in love with Kelli, what a wonderful energy she exudes, very useful video, thanks so much.
Thank you so much Ursula!
You really know your stuff Lisa!! Loved it. Super insightful helpful and hands on!!
Way too excited for this YAY!!! 😍also you look so fresh and GLOWING!! 😘❤❤
This is hands down the most informative video I have ever come across. Thank you 🙏🏽
Yay! Thank you so much Melissa!
The vein test was always confusing to me...then I found out I am color blind!
The vein test is confusing to me, too. But I guess I'm just stupid 😂
😂😂😂😂😂💯💯💯
That would tend to make it difficult.
I can’t define my colors, I see blue, green and a little of purple. Also I get burns easily? Not sure if I’m cool or neutral??😢
Doesn't help when you can barely see your veins
Fantastic video Lisa! I always struggle with finding the perfect match with foundations. Thank you again for a very informative video.
LISA❤️❤️❤️❤️. What a great video!! Not only did you demonstrate on different skin tones and broke your explanation down so seamlessly, but you used one of the best drugstore foundations on the market today; making this accessible to all who are watching - BRILLIANT! I LOVE you, your videos, your eyeshadow palette, and your brushes!!! xoxox
This was the best lesson I've ever seen on undertones! I've always found it so confusing. Thank you....I love the teaching videos!
Yay! Thank you Beth! :)
All of your friends have gorgeous skin! Lucky pups!! I loved this video.
Thank you Mary :)
I've been obsessed with this undertone thing for a while, and I always complain about people talking about different undertones but not actually showing even a picture to make it clearer. This was hands down the best video I've seen on the subject. You are great at explaining and, again, I think demonstrating on models was a stroke of brillance and very generous of you to take the time to do all that. Thank you!
Oh my goodness Lisa, I don’t recall when but maybe about 4 or so months ago I stumbled across your RUclips channel and THANK GOODNESS I DID!! You are so sweet, soooo helpful and informative and I absolutely love your videos bc you truly were meant to make videos helping, teaching and sharing your wisdom and knowledge of makeup artistry!! If you didn’t make videos then I would attend seminars or classes if you held them! You have a beautiful gift of patience, kindness, and explaining things thoroughly but while providing examples and visuals and always so that it actually makes complete sense!! AND your enthusiasm and love for what you do, plus your fun personality and great and always interesting content, makes it so it’s never boring! I never find myself losing interest or focus or having to rewind bc I completely zoned out, and you never talk or go through anything too fast!! I’ve learned so much from you in just the short time I’ve been watching you, actually I’ve learned more from you in that time esp on a couple of my most difficult makeup application techniques, than I’ve learned in the probably 7 or more years I’ve been watching makeup tutorials on RUclips! LoL. True story. I’m studying to become a certified makeup artists and there are just a couple things that I have down that I can do on others, but on myself - HAHAHA!!! 🤪 However, this video was so much needed, for myself, so THANK YOU!! I keep telling everyone that I can’t go by my veins when it comes to my undertones and I know I’m a neutral, bc cool tones look waaaaay to light and turn my face pink, but warm tones also make me look yellow. I started looking for neutral tones and found that they typically matched my skin perfectly and started getting a lot of compliments on my foundation lol. But when I asked an employee at Sephora AND Ulta to help match me and find my undertone, neither one could when looking at my veins! 🤪 but this was truly helpful bc I wasn’t aware of the shades you mentioned being considered as “neutrals”. Thank you and PLEASE keep the “learning” videos like this coming!! You are so beautiful, inside and out!! Xoxoxo Lots of love!!
Ok this is amazing Lisa! ❤ Your bringing something very different and so useful to the RUclips platform! ❤ You are have a gift for teaching, please keep bringing instructional videos like that, it really sets you apart from the rest❤ Your the best Lisa, keep up the amazing work! ❤❤❤❤
D'accord!
Omg!! All your friends were so sweet!!! Kelly melted my heart!! Her excitement when she saw the final look was sooo cute!! ❤️ So helpful!
I always thought I had more yellow undertones, but after watching this, I was like, “girl , what world are you living in?? You’re clearly neutral!” 🤣 Someone lied to me!! 😂😂
Thanks for the help! ❤️
corrietwinb exactly what I thought after watching this! It's like Lisa was in my house yelling "you are neutral!" Going to get a new foundation asap!!
Lol! I’m so glad this was helpful! Thanks Corrie!
Lol! Thank you April!
April Cicalese Right?! Me too! I guess I’ve always found more yellow toned foundations to be flattering on my skin, but here we are!! 😂 Off I go to try a neutral shade! 💁🏻♀️
Lisa, THANK YOU for sharing another OUTSTANDING video/tutorial with us! This was the MOST well done video I've ever seen on this topic! I truly APPRECIATE you sharing your precious time, talent, knowledge, & skills with us all so we may learn! Hugs & Blessings 2U
Thank you so much for doing this! I was actually searching YT a couple of days for this info. Your video was not only helpful at the perfect time but very fun to watch. Love your channel!
Great video👍 It is very hard choosing the perfect foundation from a drugstore, but this video has helped tremendously❤️
So glad to hear! Thanks Theresa!
Love the education videos!
Kelly was a doll! You should bring her on more often as your model to demonstrate. Her enthusiasm was infectious!
Yay! Thank you Dawn! :)
Beautiful models!! Learned warm, cool & neutral undertones. Thank you!💟
Thank you! I was struggling to find my shade in the drugstore and this video is a life saver!! You’re awesome 🤩
Kelly has perfect skin! What freckles! I don’t see any 😁 And she has a gorgeous smile!
Awww thank you!
Thank you for making this video, it really helped me understand more.
So glad to hear! Thanks Rebecca!
Very informative Lisa! One of the most helpful tips I learned was key words that mean either cool, neutral or warm in drugstore foundations. They don’t always say and it’s so hard to find matches sometimes so that was very helpful. Thank you!
Your one of the most sweetest youtubers. Your friends seem to be the perfect reflection of you. 😊
Lisa ! I really love how you teach! I’m trying to teach myself via RUclips on how to do make up and your videos definitely are super helpful! Thank you!
Thanks Vicky! :)
This is so enlightening! Wish you could make this a series...Maybe go into finishes like matte, dewy, satin etc. Thank you so much. Need to share this with makeup loving friends.
Absolutely genius. Where have u been all my life. Uh completely just changed everything for me. God bless u!!!
Yes please continue with videos like this. Knowing the theory behind makeup application is really helpful.
Loved this but your friends were adorable - loved Kelly! ♥ Elle
Yay! Thanks Elle!
Yes, love this kind of video and I loved that you took the time to bring your 4 friends on, they’re so lovely! 💜
Yay! Thank you so much Jess!
This was great! Thank you for taking the time to do this💕
Girl this is the best freakin tutorial to find your undertone that i have watched to date.... never have i found my shade and i have been at a loss. That is until i watched your videos. I am porcelain white as the snow in the winter or if i stay inside all summer and then the second i see sunlight i tan like no other. It is really bizarre for me. Thank you! What helped most from your video was the models for sure!
Thank you Lisa, I’ve always considered my undertone to be more yellow but I’ll see if a more neutral to yellow may work better. This is a great teaching video and you explain everything well. Thanks so much. ❤️
Great! Thank you so much! :)
You have such beautiful friends with kind hearts! Thank you for this video...so much information.
Aww that is so sweet! Thank you!
Great info, and the visual demo helped so much! Love this kind of teaching video. Matching foundation colors and choosing complimentary color cosmetics does not come naturally to most of us. Thank you!💋
Thank you so much for this! Dept store foundations can be extremely pricey so I choose to find a quality drugstore alternative. The problem-overwhelming number of shades and choosing the right one without the rep testing them on you! I have gone to the drugstore so often for a foundation and have walked out simply because I didn’t know where to begin to choose the correct shade! Thank you Lisa! ❤️
Swatching all the colors on your models was helpful!! Pretty models too!!
Awww thank you! Xoxo
All great matches! Your friends are so sweet and Kelly's reaction was great when she saw herself after.❤
Yay! Thank you so much Belinda!
This was a very cool video! Thank you to you and your beautiful friends for coming on and doing this with you!
Yes, I love that you added that tip about using neutral foundations if you have both yellow and pink undertones
This was so helpful! I've always chosen cooler tones when I really need to opt for something more neutral in tone.
Great! Let me know if the neutrals work better! Thank you!
As helpful and easy to follow as I've come to expect and enjoy. You are so kind, so calm and almost nurturing to your audience, and I really appreciate it.
Yay! Thank you so much Kate! :)
So great to see an actual demo on four different depths of skin tones.
Thank you! Very helpful. I now am confident of my skin undertone. I especially am grateful for the pointers about the names of the shades.
Thank you. First one of these videos I've seen that addresses someone with a yellow neck but lots of pink coming through. I'm slightly paler though. It's so hard to pick a drugstore foundation.
It can be so tough! Hope this helps!
Thank you for these types of videos. I have learned something from each one. Also, do another video with Kelly. She is so much fun to watch!
Yay! Thank you Sue!
What a great video and your friends are all beautiful. Kelly is an absolute doll! I love how happy she was with her makeup, she’s gorgeous and funny.
I feel much more confident in selecting an drugstore foundation now. Thank you !!
OMG! This is one of the BEST how-to foundation vids I’ve ever seen! Thank you for using a variety of people - shades and ages! 👏👏👏 Could you do more vids like this, pretty please? My request: A pale woman in her 50s with dry skin, some wrinkles, and green color corrector needed. (I mean, if you have someone like that. If not, I’ll volunteer. 😁)
JP M agreed 👏🏼👏🏼
Yes please that would be amazing
This could get weird. She just starts approaching strangers who have your skin....lol.
Check out hot and flashy! She does great videos and has many of the aspects you speak of!
So helpful! I never buy drug store foundation because I don’t know how to pick the right undertone or get confused with the names. I would always get color matched at Sephora and end up paying more than I want. Thank you!
So glad this was helpful! Thank you!
I do like that L'Oréal 24 hour foundation. not too matte and definitely not too hydrating. I also use the hydrating infallible version of this also on certain days. I think some drugstore foundations work pretty darn good, and are decently long lasting, especially for the drugstore price. I really like L'Oréal s products for the most part. thank you for doing these types of videos. very helpful. and you always seem to put be in a better mood because of your sense of humor, disposition, and of course content of your videos. you do have a knack for doing these. and honestly your videos and tutorials are the only ones I look forward to opening and watching. happy St Valentine's day, girl. keep up the positive upbeat attitude. btw ,your make up always looks so nice. but you have very nice skin to begin with. I always like a more natural makeup look. thanks again. Jean.
Drugstores allow you to return makeup, if it doesn't work out for you.
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you!
Would love to see more techniques for building and deciding on eyeshadow colors.
Wow! That was a great video! I loved the variety of models. So informative! Well done!!!
Great! Thank you so much Amy! :)
This is so helpful. Do you have any tips for picking the best lipstick color to match and complement your face makeup?
Very informative. I always have trouble buying foundation so I skip it all together and get tinted moisturizer... can you please make a video of your eye makeup with Kelly?
Thank you so much! I love educational videos. I also appreciate you doing this on different skin tones. I like that you swatched all 3 colors on the last person. I couldn’t tell which color was right until you did that. It helps me think about what to look for
This was so fun to watch! I hope your guests come back on your channel again. I was always confused when people talked about MAC’s system of foundation shades. Now I know why!
This was so interesting. I honestly thought when you swatched, that the classic tan was too yellow for her, but it blended really well on her skin. Thanks for the tips!
So happy to hear that! Thanks Kathy! :)
yeah i still think it was a tiny bit too yellow... but doesnt look bad
Went back to watch this older video. This was so informative! Love it
This video is so helpful!! Im planning to buy my first foundation in years today, so this is a massive help. Thank you so much!!!!
Once again-you are the best-I sound like a broken record but you truly make videos that are not frequent on YT!!! You are almost at 100K subscribers---NO SURPRISE!!!!! xoxo
Awww thank you Jill!! :)
Kelly doesn’t need foundation. Her complexion is amazing.
Ring light
Lisa I love your teaching videos. They are so spot on. Please keep doing them. Thank you💜Kaye
Thank you Kaye! So happy you think so!
I love how gentle you are with your models. Great demonstration! I have olive skin tone with ruddy undertone and blue/green veins. SA's always recommend foundation that looks like mustard on my skin. So I've always shied away from liquid foundation. You really validated my perception that yellow toned foundation is not for me. I love your brush that has a missing handle, I have many of those. Thanks for your super informative video.
Excellent job, Lisa! You have tackled such a difficult issue for choosing foundation. Was there a reason for choosing the matte over the glow foundation? I like both looks, but over 50, living in Florida, with “normal/dry skin, I steer away from matte foundations. Would you agree?
Excellent video!!
Thanks Lori!
Fantastic! Loved finding out about buying correctly toned foundation. Keep ‘me coming! 😉
This was super helpful, now I might actually be able to get some new foundation on my own - thanks so much!
The veins in my wrist are blue but I'm very much a warm. I've even had my colors professionally done. Like a blue red lipstick looks horrible on me but a tomato red is perfect.
This is amazing. So much information and it makes it so clear! Thank you for making this video!
Thank you Kristina!
Yes, more videos like this one please! Your timing was perfect and you broke it down for me so simply. Thank you, thank you!
Thank you so much!
I finally understand. Thank you. Just the video I needed to figure out my skin tone !
please do for how to choose for correct concealer and contour shade
YES. And can we add on blush? I try everything and it's all fail.
Muskan thakur yes u would like that too
I went to Maybelline New York store for getting correct concealer and the sales person said we always buy the same shade in concealer as the skin colour, and he handed me Light shade in Maybelline age rewind concealer. When I used it my make-up routine I started to look pale white that's why concealer guide is much more needed for me
This wish also gets a vote from me.
Muskan thakur I know this is an old post but a shade that matches you perfectly is for actually concealing blemishes, freckles or scars. Most professionals say to buy one shade lighter used to brighten under eyes and highlight nose forehead etc if you like to do that step. But then there's color corrector for darker pigmentation which I believe is a salmon color and green to help with redness. There's so much to knee so yes a video would be great but I hope this helps you choose a concealer! 😀
