- Hey guys, in this video I am teaching you how to find your foundation undertone using colour theory in makeup. Colour theory can be quite challenging for most people but learning it is the only way forward. I really hope that I have simplified some of the principles of colour theory and that you can apply it for foundation matching.

Hope this video is helpful for you guys 😊If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in comments.
Thank you so much 🤗 So glad you learnt something new 💕
I'm amazed by how you can make your own foundation.
@@victoriataylor5584One of the many joys of understanding colour theory 😊
Also, a site called Color Grab, is a good way to help find out your undertone.
A lot of makeup artists don't use this. I wish I knew who I could go to who could match my skin accurately.
I love seeing other artists using the wheel and teaching color theory in flesh tones. Great video. Thank you.
Thank you so much 🤗 it means a lot coming from you ❤️ I'm a little obsessed with colour theory 😊
Yes because colors in undertone is very hard to spot in flesh tones.
To miss Tomlinson, thank you for this amazing tool.
I love finding underrated RUclips channels. Thank you for all your hard work.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment 😘💕
It's so awesome to see a woman of color explain color theory for deeper shades 🎉🙏🏽
Thank you ❤️
It lets us know that we are not overlooked.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!! THIS video needs to start trending!!! FOR YEARS I’ve struggled to figure out my undertone; Unsuccessfully since most videos on the matter require a self-diagnosis... Whereas your second wheel; Literally shows the actual colors we must look for. YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE ANGEL!! Thank you 🙏💓💞
Thank you for your lovely comment 🤗The Terri Tomlinson colour wheel is an amazing guide for finding undertones.. You will love it ♥️
Beautylashes19 Awww of course! So glad that this video brought me to your channel!
@@Beautylashes19 it really is.
I actually have the Terri Tomlinson color wheel but have never felt comfortable using it. I originally bought it because my sister has deep discoloration under her eyes (more like purple-brown), but she never feels color correctors look natural. Hopefully, now I can use this to help her. I also really like the idea of picking out complementary colors for eye/cheek/lip colors- that’s a really helpful tip.
Thank you for this video, you’ve really broken down how to use this for those of us with ‘brown’ skin tones. I’ll probably be watching this a number of times just to absorb all the information! And I would definitely be interested in a part two of demonstrations! 😊
Thank you so much for the love 😘 I really hope this helps you and your sister in using the colour wheel more 😊.
I am so happy to see my skin represented and explained in a video! Thank you so much and I can't wait to see your other videos! ❤️

Thank you so much for this video. Trying to learn color theory more and just received the Terri Tomlinson color wheel. 😃😃
You're very welcome 😊 Her color wheel is amazing.. love the process of finding undertones in skin colour..
Very educational and helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome 🤗
Best video on foundation shade match! And I’ve watched a ton.
You look like a dark winter which is a cool undertone with some warmth. So it makes sense why you’re olive.
Thank you so much 🥰
I'll definitely look into dark winter 😊
This was extremely informative, thank you!!
You're so welcome ❤️ thank you for watching 🥰
This was explained so well.
Thank you so much 🤗💕
Great video. I just bought the Terri Tomlinson color wheel today.
Thank you 😊 It's such a useful tool to have.
This video was very helpful! Thank you 😊
You are so welcome 💕
I bought this same color wheel to help me better select neutral make up that complements my skin. I love how thorough yet straight to the point you were in explaining how to properly use the color wheel! This was Super helpful!
Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️ It made my day 😊😘
I really enjoyed your video. You put a lot of work into it thank you. I am a colour consultant and makeup artist in Canada and love anything about colour. I have the book and the colour wheel - they are awesome. I love watching Angie and Shannon Marie's videos too they are very knowledgeable. Have a wonderful day xo Jacqueline
Thank you so much Jacqueline! 🤗💕 Angie and Shannon are brilliant! I learn so much from them.
Beautylashes19 Yes me too❤️

Thank you so much for this
You are so welcome 😊💓
wow !
This is amazing ❤ I learned a lot from you thank you so much for sharing all this, and what you said in the end if you want to stand out to choose the color the opposite of you or the same or I will be blended” and that also a choice!”
this is why when I saw you I was saying something let you stand out you are beautiful 😍 Glory to God I just couldn’t take my eyes off you! ( nothing wicked) but when you explained it makes sense 😀
God bless you ♥️

Dude i am impressed with how you explained.i am engineer turned Nail and Makeup artist and wow , just love it.I got the idea of your knowledge from this one video itself.
Thank you 😊
Very well explained
Thank you so much 😊❤️
@@Beautylashes19 I have been watching many of your videos, love your presentation - very helpful too for people living in UK and having to match cosmetics available here for brown skin
Wow......At the end you just proved that you are into colour theory game completely.
I could see no Ashiness at all.....Your makeup base turned out super precise 🥺
Thank you so much 🤗💕
so helpful!
Thank you 😊
Thanku .luv ur video.plz give us more n more on colour theory.

Mam your great,thank you for wonderfull colour theory.
You're so welcome Jayalaxmi 😊
thank you very much good video
Thank you 😊
great video!
Thank you 🤗
Very very helpful Sneha.. enjoyed this video a lot. Job well done 👍 i need to get that color wheel too.. definitely getting it.. like u i m thinking i may fall somewhere in blue green too..
Thank you 😊 Glad it is helpful. Once you start training your eyes to see colour in different products, there's no looking back. It's so addictive and it's been my favourite thing to do the last few months 😁
Yeah, I haven't met you yet but I do think you may have a cool undertone 😊
Thank u for the great video
You are so welcome 💞
I'm so happy I found this channel bc while I do know colour theory, I'm mainly into landscape and abstract painting so I always find flesh tones extremely confusing when attempting portraits. It's also so exciting to see an Indian person teaching makeup bc it's definitely important to watch tutorials from people with similar skin to yourself and it's rare for me to see someone w skin like mine that I feel is so unique to people from the Indian subcontinent. It might sound weird but I feel like I'm learning makeup from the older sister I never had.
Thank you for your kind words ❤️ I am glad you found this video helpful 😊💓
This helped a great deal
So happy to hear that 😊
Wow very helpful
So glad to hear that 😃
SUCH AN UNDERRATED CHANNEL!!!!!! Dang YT took WAY too long to recommend!!
Thanks love 😘 Glad you found it 😊
This was a thorough explanation! You have a very lovely smile, I binge-watched your videos to learn more :) I thought I was an NC42 however seems like I am an NC37 in the MAC studio fix fluid foundation (I have dry skin so have been testing out the new skin radiance serum foundation in the UK). I am still not sure though which shade is a right match for me. I prefer to wear very natural makeup that doesn't make it obvious that I am wearing makeup. Any chance you are able to provide guidance on what may suit me in the MAC mineralize skinfinish natural? Could you also recommend a powder foundation for dry skin that you can wear on its own? Thank you
Hi, thank you for your support on my channel.. unfortunately I cannot shade match or recommend shades without seeing someone in person and shade matching them... Is there a reason you want a powder foundation despite having dry skin?
V nice video Thanks a lot
You're welcome 😊 thank you for watching.
Tysm 4r Sharing this vedio🥰🤩😘😘
You are so welcome ❤️
Love the informative video !
What mic, lighting and camera do you use?
Thanks, Canon 70D, daylight coming through window on most days or box +/- ring lighting on rainy/gloomy days, Tascam recorder/phone for audio..
Can you please do a review on this book! I can’t seem to find a whole lot of information on it and I would love to know more before I buy it
Hi Tijana, I generally don't review books on my channel. This book is a recommendation for fellow MUAs who want to learn more about colour theory. There is a bunch of reviews on Amazon for this book (I have linked it in the description box). Have you checked those?
Currently obsessed with this whole undertone thing and its relation to color theory! This was SO helpful! Thank you! What is most valuable to me is seeing theory APPLIED the way you matched your own skin. I would love to see a video where you analyzed people’s undertones the way you did yours. I got a Tomlinson color wheel and it changed my game. Terri sees all red undertones as WARM, though, and I’m now freshly confused, as I thought pink undertones in fair skin read cool. I know all color temperature is relative, but now I’m wondering if I should be reading cool pink undertones as blue. Just when I think I’m getting a grip on this, I’m not! lol Anyway, super helpful vid! Many thanks!
Thanks so much Judith, glad you are having fun with colour theory. I would generally consider pink as warm since it has mostly red as it's base. But cosmetic brands make it confusing by naming their pink based foundations cool! The only time I would consider pink leaning cool is if it has a bit of purple in it.
Ah, I would love to have different people on my channel to analyze their undertone but I live in a foreign country and don't know many people here (also considering the current Covid situation, I don't think it's a possibility).
@@Beautylashes19 with that being said, why do other teachers keep saying that magenta is a cool color, but because of the red in this color, shouldn't it be warm?
Thanks for sharing this knowledge ☺️ bt which pallet u use
I used a dupe for the MUFE flash palette from amazon.
hi dear ! I just loved this tutorial so much. it has been quite detailed and informative. thanks a lot !
i just have few queries if you could guide me with them
a. how to practice identifying the different undertones and matching foundation for particular person or many people. except using the flesh tone color wheel as it would look strange to use colour wheel on client's face. though the idea of the flesh tone colour wheel is their as our basics.
b. while buying the foundations and base for our vanity how to determine various foundations with different undertones?
thanks !
thanks so much for your kind words.. :)
a. I would say practise with swatching foundations/concealers on the flesh tone colour wheel.. it helps studying undertones in products and seeing tones we didn't see before. The more you practise, the better you will get at identifying the right undertone for clients.
b. Unfortunately, this also comes with practise.. I check descriptions on brand websites to see how a shade is described and compare it with swatches available online. Sometimes they are spot on, many a times they can be a bit off.
@@Beautylashes19 thanks a lot!! It's quite helpful.. I will do it ! Watching your all videos one by one and waiting for new ones to keep on nurturing myself in this way knowledge wise😍
@@voyanteebytsalonandacademy6797 thank you ❤️ keep practicing, I'm sure you'll get quicker with undertones 😊
Hi I also have the book and the wheel, as a trained Colour Consultant I wanted to get them but I find the wheel was difficult to find my skintone and my clients, however when I layed her actual foundation on the wheel it read yellow green. I need to use it some more to see if I find more skin tone replication in it.
That's interesting.. I found swatching on top of a clear film work better for me instead of on the wheel directly (unless it's a thick formula). When swatching on the wheel, it takes on a bit of the undertone of the wheel itself (in my mind).
I was taught how to use Cinema secrets by Maurice Stein the creator of Cinema secrets. The foundation is meant to be used with a damp sponge or damp brush To achieve the smoothest application. I’ve been using CS foundations for 20 years. Thanks for the demonstration
Ah, thanks for sharing that! I would never think of using a damn sponge/brush with a cream product 🤯 That's so cool to know and I can't wait to try it out 😀
You can use water but a nice moisturizer spray works well. Cinema secrets has a great moisturizer spray as well.
@@jeaninebower5549 thank you, I do have the moisture spray 😊
What setting powder did you use with the CS cream?
Hi, unfortunately if I haven't mentioned it in the video, I probably don't remember it as the video is over 3 years ago.. But probably Laura Mercier translucent original or Danessa Myricks evolution powder in yellow..
💓
Ive found a lotta trouble matching my skin tone. None of the usual techniques used to work for me. Ive seen myself yellow, but lately notice maybe I have some olive undertones. But! The color that makes my features pop out the most is warm purple! And people always say to me that I look radiant when im wearing something thats warm violet. So then ive just realize, FINALLY, That my skintone must be yellow undertone. Plus, doing some tests, browns have always suit me well, my hair wich is dark brown has some red-orange reflection, and orange red suits my lips. Am I right? Hahahaa would like to know ur thoughts about that! Thank u so much by the way!😊💚🙏🏻
Yesss! Warm purple looks brilliant on olive to yellow-green skin tones (same as me 😁). It's because it falls opposite on the colour wheel and therefore highlights the undertone the best.
Browns are "neutrals" so will work with all skin tones. Just need to use the right depth and tone.
For lipstick and eyeshadows, I would recommend trying a warm purple one.. they look gorgeous on olive and yellow-green undertones. I consider olive to be a neutral tone meaning we can pretty much wear most colours 😊 but warm purple looks especially pretty on us. I hope this helps 😃
This is helpful as someone with light brown skin. Just wondering how I would cover spots of hyperpigmentation from melasma. Will I need to cover each spot individually? Or just cover the whole face then add another natural skin tone colour on top of it?
Glad it's been helpful 😊 For melasma, I would typically do color correcting first over the area with melasma and then use a concealer that matches your skin tone over that area. Set that well and then you could apply your foundation all over, just apply gently in a tapping motion over the Melasma area.
@@Beautylashes19 Thank you 🙂❤️
Can you please make a video describing peachy and golden undertones?.
Hi, I am not sure I understand the question.. Can you please expand on it?
@@Beautylashes19 There are people who have peachy undertones, not many know about peachy undertones because there is hardly information online and on youtube. Many believe that only fair skin people have peachy undertones when in reality anybody can have them. A video that talks about peach undertones or golden peachy undertones will help so many people because as I said....there are hardly any videos on youtube that talk about them.
@@cjrg2779 hmm, I am not sure what I can include in the video other than describe the undertone (which may be a sentence or two).. I don't know how much I can elaborate on it.. Let me think over it for a bit..
If you have any suggestions of what to include in the video, pls do share..
What spf do you recommend for under Cinema Secrets foundation? I use Supergoop moisturizer with spf and it balls up. Soo frustrating. Thank you
I generally use the cinema secrets foundation for my freelance work and I don't use sunscreen for photoshoots. But I did test it on the two sunscreens I have currently - La Roche Posay Anthelios 50+ (good for combo to oily skin) and Beautypie ultralight UVA/UVB spf 25 (better for dry to normal skin) and the foundation does not ball up with either of them. I hope this helps 😊
Beautylashes19 , Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏👏❤️
Can you please list the name of the makeup palettes and eyeshadows, thank you!
Sorry I don't remember most of the shades arranged around the colour wheel as I had just picked up single eyeshadows at random from my custom made palettes. The outer single eyeshadow in yellow is illamasqua hype and the outer dark brown is Bobbi brown chocolate.
What are the best lipsticks for a red orange?
Hi, do you mean lipsticks with a red orange undertone or lipsticks for someone who has a red orange undertone?
@@Beautylashes19What are the best lipsticks for a brown 🟤 complexion that has red orange undertone in their skin?
@@internationalspectrumcosme7142 any lipstick with red, red orange and orange undertone will look flattering on you.. For a contrasting/stark effect, you could try any blue/green based lipstick.. ☺️
Underrated video! So interesting and helpful 🎉
Thank you so much 🤗🥰❤️
Can you recommend any foundation that matches your face exactly, i havw my sister having yellow-green tinge medium to dusky, close match till now she found is fenty beauty 290 which matches to her neck (her neck is lighter than her face)
Sure, I was matched to 290 too in Fenty and although it matches my neck when stretched, it doesn't when I look straight ahead as my double chin casts a shadow on my neck 😬 Anyway, the best colour match so far is Dior backstage face and body in 4WO.. something a bit deeper is flower beauty light illusion in Tawny.
@@Beautylashes19 thank you so much
You're welcome 😊
I’m fair and I have olive undertones. So very yellow. And let me tell you it’s a pain to find fair foundation with olive or yellow undertones because apparently you can’t be fair with those tones😑 Fact of the matter is that you can be any combination of shade and undertone. Some combinations are very common. Especially where you’re from. For example I’m Portuguese so olive undertones is common. But that doesn’t mean every Portuguese has an olive undertone. If you’re stuck between two colors, you’re best bet is to go what’s common cause odds are that’ll look best
Mam undar tone colour wheel mujhe buy karna h pzzz reply mam pzz pzzz pzzzxx
Hi, it's linked in the description box 😊
Hiya - I got a little confused when you were matching your skin you colour using that wheel. Which ring were you trying to match? ??
Loved the video...you are a true professional. Lots of love xxxx
I need to re watch your video. 😘
Haha, thank you. No worries 😁 it was mostly to the outer ring since that's meant for medium skin tone. But, not everyone is going to be an exact match to it so I also look at the inner rings to check if the skin tone is in between shades (if that makes sense).
I simply loved this video. You made it a fun video and explained it beautifully - @atmrignaini
Thank you so much for your feedback 🤗 I really enjoyed making this video 😊
I think we have the same undertone according to what I see on your color wheel. I’m a little darker than you though. Do you find Olive eyeshadows flattering on you?
Hi, I don't like matte olive eyeshadows on my eyes since they kind of blend with my skin tone and depth of colouring. I do enjoy shimmer light olive or emerald or forest green mattes. These show up more against my skin tone in the family of green.
Beautylashes19 I’m going to try the colors you mentioned. I think they may work for me as well. Thanks!
@@MsG110 thank you 😊 I'm sure they'll look amazing on you.
What if u have acidic skin where the foundation tends to darken after some time? Then finding the perfect match could be useless?
Healthy skin does have an acidic pH. So, I think you are referring to that. Foundation darkens mostly due to a process called oxidation which is based on the ingredients of the foundation, your natural skin oils and air. This process is quite similar to an apple or potato slice going dark on oxidation.
If you take care of your skin and find a perfect match, it should not oxidize unless you change your skincare and it affects your skin condition.
Mam ye colour veel kaha se parches kr sakte h
I have listed it in the description box.. 😊 or you can just do a quick Google search to find it locally..
The veins on my wrist are purple while further up the arm they're green. Does that mean I'm a neutral?
Purple veins suggest cool undertone in the wrist area and the green suggests warm undertone in your arm.. I generally don't rely too much on colour of veins to figure out the undertone as it can be varying on different parts of the arm/body.. I would suggest getting the colour wheel I mentioned in this video to help figure out your undertone or maybe send me your picture through Instagram (@Beautylashes19).. I can try to help..
Hello which palette from cinema secrets works on Indian skin tone?Pls let me know.
Indian skin tone varies so much! So I can't really recommend one palette for all..
Thanks for the response.
Just finished my cosemetology school.Was wondering which palette would be good for my kit🤔
@@maxmilik8711 maybe ask your teachers or someone who works exclusively in the Indian market. I work on all skintones so I carry the whole spectrum in various brands..
@@Beautylashes19 ok thanks
🌈💓🧡💛💚💙💜🌈
Is the 🫒 olive skin undertone green?
Yes.. it can be yellow-green, green or green-blue..
What would be the least expensive way to find my tone and undertone?
Hmm maybe use some kids crayons or any other art tool to make a colour wheel of your own and then use it against your skin tone to see what tones you can see. This does require eyes that can see colours in skin tones (if that makes sense)..
If I get any undertone then how can I change it into human skin tone, it's like which color should I mix to change an undertone to a real skin tone!??
All undertones are seen in human skin tone.. and I wouldn't recommend changing it..
Which eyeshadow is the green brown?
Sorry I don't remember exactly but it could be Chickadee from makeupgeek.
Beautylashes19 thanks for the reply! Chickadee was the orange brown. It looks like it might’ve been desert sands or preppy, which are both discontinued. Thank you for the content and the reply 🤗
Ah, it bothered me so much that I went through my eyeshadow stash and found it😉! It's paper tiger by colourpop. I hope this helps 💕
Beautylashes19 yes, I found and bought it! I was totally missing exactly this in my collection. Thank you so much for your sweetness!! 🥰
Amazing! so glad you were able to find it 😃
How to dry skin mkp
For dry skin, skin prep is especially important. So, hydration is key with a good moisturizer. Makeup always looks nice on hydrated skin.
Ok thoroughly confused sis lol... break it down very Elementary lol ... I was with you until the skin tone area
3:10 It confused me a bit. So pink is also warm? All this time i thought pinkish tone is cool. 🥴🥴🥴
Pink can lean either cool or warm depending on the ratio of red to violet in it.. but generally most pinks are considered warm since they have more red through them.
so may i know what have you decided finally that you have neutral undertone.... blue green..
I have a warm olive to olive undertone when I consider my entire body (depending on how much tan I get).. If I don't wear foundation and just want to spot conceal, my face is more olive (blue green to green) in undertone..
oh thanks for the reply
No neutral?
What do you mean?
