Choose between yellow and pink liquid foundation

When we buy liquid foundation, we will find that liquid foundation can be divided into many types, yellow tones and pink tones, so it will be difficult to choose. It is necessary to judge which tone of the body belongs, and then choose the appropriate foundation according to the tone. So below are listed several skills for choosing foundation for your reference only.

Two major factors affecting foundation color

The basic principle of choosing foundation is to consider comprehensively: tone + depth. Tone refers to whether you have cool skin (hereinafter referred to as cool skin) or warm skin (hereinafter referred to as warm skin); depth refers to the degree of darkness or whiteness of your skin. Asians can be roughly divided into two categories: fair skin and yellow skin. So the permutations are as follows:

- Cold white skin

- Cold yellow skin

- Warm white skin

- Warm yellow skin

How to Tell If Your Skin Is Cool or Warm

I have listed the following 5 methods to identify cool skin and warm skin, and added my own comments to each method. It is recommended that you test all of these methods. If the answers are not consistent, follow the majority. If the answer is equal parts cool and warm, it means you have neutral skin like me.

Method 1: Stand in the sun, stretch out your wrist, and carefully observe the color of your blood vessels. Blood vessels are blue or purple: cool skin; blood vessels are green or olive: warm skin.

[I personally think this method is not reliable enough, because the color of blood vessels is ambiguous and it is difficult to distinguish.]

Method 2: Try on gold and silver necklaces and earrings to see which color makes your face look brighter (not which color you like better). Silver: cool skin; gold: warm skin.

[This is a good testing method. Asking more friends can avoid errors caused by your preferences.]

Method 3: Which one makes you look more energetic: snow-white vs. milky white or beige top? Snow white: cool skin; creamy white or beige: warm skin.

[This test method is more effective for fair-skinned girls. The Chinese mentality of "whiteness can hide three uglinesses" will cause most girls with yellow or wheat-skinned skin to feel that no matter what kind of white they wear, they don't look good. Please overcome. 】

Method 4:

Observe the colors of the clothes in your closet: if there are more clothes in orange, green and earth tones: warm skin; if there are more clothes in blue, purple, black and gray: cool skin.

[This is a matter of personal opinion. Not everyone can choose the right clothes for themselves, and their preference for colors will also affect the conclusion.]

Method 5:

Observe how your skin reacts after being exposed to the sun in summer. Easy to get red, sunburned, and peeling: cold skin; easy to tan, and it takes a long time to turn white after getting dark: warm skin.

[Sun protection is very important in summer~ Don’t expose yourself to the sun just to test your skin tone, idiot! 】

I believe that after completing the above test, everyone will have a general understanding of their skin tone. Let me remind you all again: As Asians, please do not imagine that you have cold skin! Maybe you are like me, and you are the one with fairer skin than the female friends around you, but when you have the opportunity to stand together with white people in Europe and America and compare them, you will understand that we really have warm skin. So I prefer to define myself as "medium-toned warm skin".
