3. “Tone — tone is everything,” says Oliver. Finding the right shade of foundation goes beyond your skin tone. It’s also your undertone that determines which exact shade will match best. “The undertone determines whether one’s complexion is more golden, rose or beige,” says Oliver. “When searching for a foundation, do the three-stripe trick. Take three foundations total that are close to your skin tone — one that looks more pink, one that looks more yellow and one that looks neutral or off-white in color. Apply one stripe of each along the jawline and gently blend. Whichever shade disappears into the skin will give an indication of what the undertone really is,” she says.
