When I first started wearing makeup, I went to a Lancome counter to have my foundation shade matched. I was a teenager in college so this was a huge splurge for me, but I didn't want to look like a fool, and I grew up as the only female in a household of males and had never before been allowed to wear makeup so I had a huge learning curve. I got to my dorm all excited to try my first foundation and the crazy lady had matched the foundation to my freckles. The color she picked out had to have been like 5 shades too dark for me. I opened it up, stared at it in shock, closed it back up and and immediately returned it. I went to CVS pharmacy, got the girl working there to help me and got a foundation that matched me perfectly for 1/4th the price of the Lancome. So much for thinking more expensive is better. Anyways, just a fun story of my first foundation shopping experience, thought I'd share. :)
I might be a late here :D but same happened to me with urban decay and their naked foundation thing. I went in and I don´t know what she was doing, but she said I was 5.5...I am actually 0.5! Good job I said thanks, I´ll think about itand slowly walked away :D
I know this reply is several years later but I went to try Dior foundation because they have foundations with warm olive undertones and the sales lady INSISTED i was extremely fair and gave me sample of shade 0N. It made me look like a ghost. She completely ignored me when I said my undertone is olive and not neutral. Later I went to another shop to get the shade I originally wanted to try and well... shade 2WO is my perfect shade.
Oh my goodness ! As a woman with freckles all over my face, redness and a pale neck, probably quite celtic skin ,I can relate. Expensive beauty counters always get it so wrong. Maybe its the horrible artificial light ,the "high technology " machines or lack of skill, but they always match me at least 3 shades too dark. It is really difficult to find a good colour match that works well. I feel your pain !
I've always watched sooo many beauty gurus, but after binging your videos for about an hour I've gotten a completely new perspective on makeup and have learned so much!! thank you Lisa

Lisa, I would like to really thank you!! Yesterday, after 13years I just bought, my very first PERFECT MATCH foundation! this morning, first time in my 30 y.o. life I feel like my face is one "body" with my neck, my chest and my hands! :D After watching your video I was a bit embarrassed asking the girl on the beauty counter for giving me two samples of colour of foundations close to my skin tone, but after all it was really ok, she didn`t look at me like I wanted to have some free make up ( she quite understood me,although I had to push her a bit to give me two not one colour) and NOW I FINALLY HAVE IT!!! :D I didnt even supposed to think that my foundation should be that yellow, I was always looking for some rosy tones, but although my face is rosy, my body is yellow, and thats what my foundation should be!!
So much respect to this woman. She's so relaxed when talking about any form of Makeup. This is why i subbed, real advise from a pro. 😊
Lol I think the consultants at my local Sephora should see this... They often test foundations on my hands and when I said that my hands tend to be darker than my face, they'll rudely said nahhh... It's the same... Until one time they actually tried on my face and I was right, but they are sooo arrogant, although their own make up looks horrible... :( i cant even ask for samples to take home without buying more than $400 items in total...
I don't trust sephora with their foundation matching. My face is way darker than my body due to acne scarring and hyperpigmentation and they always match me way darker and cooler than the skin on my body. I end up looking like I'm wearing a red mask if I were to wear the foundations they match me with.
Very common when you go to makeup counters. I call them make up elitist. You know the ones that judge you as you first come in with little to no make up. Personally I work in cosmetics and I encourage people to really try and get the undertones right. Some “artist” are so lazy they just assume anyone with dark hair is warm or if you’re tan you are automatically in the dark category. That being said we do deal with A LOT of people who like to think they are a lot lighter (sometimes darker) than they really are, whether it’s colorism or not I tell them it’s better to match than look like a ashy mess. For your instance color matching to someone’s hand is lazy at best.
amen! Sephora clerks know everything about everyone’s skin. Riiiight. Same when i have to go into the lions den, MAC.
You are amazing. Thank you for taking your time.. As an artist myself ( not makeup artist.. But art artist).. I know how much time these tutorials take and how much you can charge for your "knowledge" and for you to not only spend your time creating this for all of us, but to just freely give this helpful information.. Is truly truly appreciated! I do hundreds and hundreds of videos in my online classes, but only a few videos every so often to the public on TH-cam.. And you have inspired me to give more freely the knowledge I have in my own art. Thank you for your inspiration all around. Xoxoxoxo 😘 (a newbie into makeup and a new fan)
I just realized after watching this, it's always a big difference when you listen to a prof makeup artist and not just those so called "beauty gurus". I'm a Lisa E, Marlena (makeup geek) & Wayne G fan 😊
Having difficulty matching your foundation shade? Here's the definitive guide to getting it right. #foundationcourse #foundation
Thanks Lisa 😊
I have struggled with this for decades! Thank you for showing how to do it.
When I first started wearing makeup, this was when I was 16, no one EVER told me about things like this, ESPECIALLY not undertones, and how they are so important in finding your foundation shade. It took me a long time to find out what it was actually but I DO remember one makeup said something about a foundation being too orange on me, so I know I'm not warm. I'm neutral-warm in undertone.
This is by far the best foundation matching video I have ever watched. Thank you for making this!
Without a doubt, you are the best instructor in this field. Thank you.
youre welcome, I'm really happy you found it so helpful X
Perfect advice Lisa. Thank you!
I ve heard some of the tips already but i find the biggest problem is the light in stores. They are never the same like in daylight. I find it so hard to see what colour my skin is or the foundation.
Ohh I always ask the people in the store for a try in daylight... going out of the store with a mirror before I make my choice... it works and sometimes the result is so stunning... 😃
I can't believe Sephora and most makeup artists can't help people figure this out. Thank you. It's so ridiculous how many shades of foundation we have that are wrong. I've never been shade matched properly whether by a person or the stupid shade machine. They might test a little bit on the face but not to the jaw and neck like you did.
Very, very informative! Thank you, as always. I also want to thank you for not being apologetic for filming without any makeup on. I enjoy all your videos!
this is so helpful! as a Hispanic girl who tans very very easily and goes through new foundations constantly each season, this really helped a lot
GirlWithHeadphones18 omg same! #latinastruggle
you are the best lisa! i've never seen anyone do such a precise and substantial information about getting the right shade of foundation. pretty much every time i try to watch one, they just throw the tips at me without even explaining why I have to. you are a miracle to rookies like me. thank you so much for being so generous, Lisa.
This is great! so helpful. The one thing i always do if im buying an expensive high end foundation is go in with no makeup and ask the counter staff to apply it all over for me and then i will wear it the rest of the day. they are usually very happy to - especially if you go in when it isnt too busy. can then see it in daylight/see how it wears. if it suits you can then buy it! ive been matched wrong too many times in expensive foundations and i think the lighting in department stores in particular can make it hard to get a good match.
I don't doubt that for a second! I'm so happy that you're willing to share all your knowledge with us! It's rare to be able to learn something from someone who's been in the business for so long, they know all the ins and outs.
OMG this video should be seen by all woman who uses Makeup
+bax TV yes I am :)
she's amazing!
Yes I agree
There are SO many so called makeup artists and gurus here on youtube that should commit this video to memory. Lisa, you are such a breath of fresh air for people learning about makeup and it's obvious you teach to spread your knowledge. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
best video explaining how to choose the right foundation I've seen, by far
I didnt think I would like this video, but wow just shows me how much I dont know. My sister and I absolutely love Lisa and ring each other and discuss our buys and looks, she said the other day that Lisa is the master of flawless skin. This video cements that opinion. RESPECT!!!!
Split the difference between your face and neck to find a common ground shade that will bring these two areas together (without having to make-up your neck everyday)... when your chest is exposed you can always add a touch of bronzer or darker power to this area to help it blend in better X
i dnt understand why i hadnt subscribed to you all this time...you are the most experienced and sincere makeup artist iv ever come across on youtube...really...exceptional understanding of makeup you got there.
Rrrhh, I've been on TH-cam for years and it took me this long to find out about you and how amazing your technique/philosoph(ies) are?
I wish there had been someone like you around 15yrs ago when I was a teen. I've struggled all my life with acne and started wearing foundation at a young age but could never get it right so was harassed not only for bad skin but bad makeup! I became afraid of wearing makeup and stopped util I discovered your channel a year ago. I've learnt so much and this video is the icing on the cake. Thanks for making makeup fun and beautiful and for giving me confidence to be my most beautiful self!!!
Excellent instruction. Best advice I've seen yet.
You are spot on! This video is by FAR the most helpful with figuring out skin tones. I have redness in my cheeks and you're right there's a patch of redness that comes down from the center of my cheek to my jaw line. Because of the redness, people assume I have pink undertones and I have been wrongly shade matched countless times because I actually have yellow undertones. Knowing your undertones is the first step & you HAVE to look at your neck and chest.
im nearly 39 and ive never used foundation in my life....actually ive never used anything but eye liner and lipstick/gloss/pencil.....thats my entire makeup kit...i have no confidence buying anything else, esp. not foundation....i would love to have a day with you so I could look as flawless as you just did with a rub here and a dab there. i really like ur videos, definitely the best makeup videos on youtube.
These vids are nice reminder why I love them so, sooooo much, and why I love You and your personality! Thank You for every single video you made, always trying to teach, help and guide us!!!
You're our makeup mom! We're all your children ^_^ learning each day from your wonderful videos
Lisa, I have been following you for a long time, loving everything that you do. This video is a perfect example of the standard which sets you apart from others. Your gentle teaching, eye for detail and colour knowledge is unsurpassed.
I feel privileged to own your products, each being a piece of art in its own right.
I’m at an age where I was starting to feel jaded, fed up and unrepresented in the beauty world. You and your products have genuinely been the beacon of hope, joy, and natural individual beauty through makeup. I feel like I can embrace who I am as an ageing woman while still trying to be the best version of myself.
Each time I use your lipsticks, I get a wee thrill. Even just looking at them is a pleasure. I’ve never felt quite that same feeling with other makeup before. It’s hard to explain, but ultimately it’s the difference that YOU make.
Thank you for bringing the joy to makeup again. ❤️
Thank you so much for this video. It was very helpful. The last time I bought foundation with the help of a sales associate, she used some sort of scanner/camera which recommended foundations and colors based on the skin she held it up against. The problem is that I have yellow/neutral tones on my body and neck, but a lot of redness in my face. She matched it to my face. I ended up getting foundation that was the equivalent to a pink face mask.
Sarah Laws This happened to me, too! I was told I was very yellow, but I'm more neutral with pinks, and she sent me home with yellow foundations. I looked like a pumpkin! And, it's so dark in there (I'm assuming you went to Sephora like I did?), HOW can the scanner get an accurate reading? Blah.
This is the most helpful foundation video I've ever watched. I'm very pale and have acne and redness, and lots of brands don't carry a shade pale enough for me. It's incredibly hard to find a good foundation, but now I'm confident in my understanding of my skintones and can explain exactly what I need to someone working at a counter. Thank you so much for doing this series!
Its funny how at 5:00 I was thinking ok I already get it, u don't have to show me that the foundation is too dark on ur whole face, obviously... BUT IN REALITY, its good that shes making it very clear as there are girls who make this decision & even thing that they look good! They think that they are fooling us of how tanned & sexy they are lol
Lisa, you are simply the BEST make up Gurus here on youtube! Your video was more than helpful! Thank you so so much.
Foundation graveyard! I think all us women know about that!

I love that you are willing to make yourself look so strange for the sake of all of us! You're a legend, Lisa!
Lovely Lisa!
This is a wonderful video that brings to light the significance of foundation matching and the right way to do it!
Which foundation and color/shade have you used in this video?
Thank You,
xx
my face colour is darker like yours! this is so helpful thank you
Wow, this is so helpful!!! You have been my savior for better skin and just applying makeup. It's been about a year since I found your website and it just completely change me... Thanks so much!!!
Lisa I love your videos, I think you are brilliant! My face is much lighter than my neck & chest, but undoubtedly, every time I shop for foundation, the SA insist that the foundation should disappear into the face. They will also say to that you should warm your face up with bronzer to match your neck. I agree with you completely, but it is always a challenge when you are dealing with a SA that does not share your views.
I have almost the same problem. My neck is darker than my face, shoulders, etc. Before I knew better, I spent way too many years wearing the wrong shade that made me look faux tanned.
Lisa, thank you very much! Due to you videos, I think, I bought the right foundation for the very first time in my life. Thank you a lot for the time you spend to make these videos, they are amazingly useful.
It took me forever to finally figure out my skin tone and matching foundations because I have a very yellow pale skin tone.. almost sickly looking. so I have to look for pale yellow based foundations that are usually the second lightest shade in the range... I also notice that foundations oxidize so much on me and turns darker (espeacily drugstore ones) so I have to go lighter than I would. and people always wonder why I buy such light foundations that's why. the foundation always seems to turn very warm toned with my skin. I also have to stay away from stick concealers and loose fibre stippling brushes as they make a mess on my face. It takes a while to find the right color, formulation and tools to apply foundation.
Just when I think I've heard everything about makeup application...I always learn something new from your videos! You are always so informative and helpful. Thank you! !
Great video! What I'm confused about is the difference between olive, warm and yellow; sometimes foundations even offer "peach undertone" shades.
Peach is yellow with a little bit of red added to it. So it's more towards the orange side. Olive is yellow with green added to it. Yellow, red and blue are primary colors. All of these colors are present in foundation to give it color and intensity. Some have more yellow, some have more red, some have more blue to suit the undertones in our skin. Warm is a arbitrary word. For most brands warm meant foundations with more yellow tones. For MAC warm means foundations with more red or pink tones. If you mix red with a little bit of white you get pink. I know you didn't ask me but I hope this helps.
Thanks - very helpful!
i feel like you'll really make a good doctor/dermatologist. your calm voice and your steady assessment makes me feel so calm and informed! and sometimes you sound like a princess its absolutely lovely listening to you. :)
I'm SUPER pale but I have warm undertones. Almost all of the pale foundations are cool undertones. It's very annoying! And then having super dry patchy skin with acne and redness. I still haven't found the right foundation yet. I've been searching for YEARS! Anyone have any recommendations? I also have sensitive skin.
+Claire Dunn same situation. very pale with warm undertones (i'm told. however, i have green and bluish looking veins. silver and gold look good on me, and blues, purples and jewel tones look better on me than warm colors). every foundation that is fair enough, is too pink! (especially drugstore). so far, the one i've liked the best is MakeUpForEver, Y205. but, i just used a sample. it's 42.00. wah!
yellow toned should actually match everyone, you dont want to make your face more red then it already is and you dont wanna end up looking like a strawberry :) if you have a red undertone you could use a yellow toned foundation to neutrilise the redness
Joyce van der Geest no, you wouldn't want to add more red, but pink undertones mean that a foundation that would blend seamlessly into my neck, would look like an orange mask on their face. the foundation itself it never really pink. it's more, beige. cool-toned. i have heard others say that yellow should work for everyone, and while a yellow corrector, to neutralize redness is a good thing, but not as a true color match.
same situation: pale but warm, patchy dry spots, acne, redness, sensitivity. I know how impossible it is. I found THE shade last month after 5 years. Unfortunately I don't think it helps bc it's from an italian small brand, dolomia, and my shade is the lighter one anyway, but I'm not extremely pale I think, just pale. I mean I'm "extremely" pale to have mediterranean skin, but I still don't have the snowwhite translucent complexion. I just wanted to cheer you up because I got lucky eventually and you will too.
Nars foundations have some good pale shade? And I find Nars have yellow underton shades. Hope this helps. Also try Makeup Forever.
FANTASTIC VIDEO! after years I really understand the differences about undertons and other information to avoid mistakes on me and on clients. Thanks Lisa
OMG Lisa you're amazing! I was laughing so much when you applied the first foundation and it looked so terrible. I guess many of us recognised oneself in that moment. ;) Thanks for teaching us and for the great tips!
All my gosh I can't believe it I finally found someone extremely knowledgeable who knows what they're talking about thank you so much for all your inspiration thank you again god bless you take care!
Oh dear. I already have two foundations in the 'graveyard' right now and hopefully no more.
Color matching is probably your most frequently asked question. I would imagine most of us women have at least a few misses in our graveyard drawer. Hopefully my next attempt will be a perfect match. Thanks for the lesson. : )
I've only recently gotten into makeup and this whole time I thought that I had a cool tone because to me my veins look blue-ish but apparently I'm not. I went to an Estee Lauder stand and the lady said I was warm toned but the foundation she gave is like 3 shades lighter and makes me look like I've got an ashy, white face like a ghost. It doesn't match my neck and I'm just even more confused now.
Aleena Amjad We both have the same problem. The foundation I first bought was too dark, the second one I have makes me look pale like a ghost and now I'm confused also because I'm not sure what's my right shade and I'm giving up on this whole make-up thing :/
Will Carter things like this make me want to stay away from makeup lol. And have u tried mixing the 2 foundations together? sometimes they don't have the exact shade so you would have to buy 2 and mix them together. My friend recently bought a foundation from estee lauder and it matches my skin so much better. I'm still unsure tho because makeup is expensive af. I want to be 100% happy with what I buy. Ain't nobody got money to just throw away lol
I think you need to be careful on what your skin tone is. Like what Lisa said in the video, try to analyse your skin tone in good day light. Don't simply listen to what the BA told you, because they don't really know your face. You need to be clever about it, take some samples and go home and try it.
***** that's what I've been trying to do but its actually really hard. I've got redness on my cheeks because of acne scarring but the rest of my face is quite tan. But my neck is whiter than my face so any foundation that matches my neck is too light for my face. So unless I get loads of samples to try all over my face I can never tell if its the right shade. Only problem is most drugstores don't do samples to take home, mostly high street stores do :l
Aleena Amjad Well yeah I did try mixing them together but it still didn't match right :/ I'm going to go back to the store again and get something else tested but it seems like the lady's there just choose any colour and I end up wasting $35 for the foundation. If only I had someone like Lisa who could help me in person that'd be amazing and save me so much time.
love her. my favorite make up and skin care guru. her voice is so calming and always full of info. never biased as well. love it!
Omg i want her to do my makeup!:O
Fantastic video. I've always heard look at your skin tones but no one has gone so in depth to really explain it or given an example as you do with yourself. Thanks so much
I have a very intense tan lines and my face and neck and arms are very tan (nc30) but my chest is very pale (nc15), what do you think I should do.
chrisrockslol omg same. It's awful
This video just changed my life. No one has every explained shade finding so well. I actually am excited to go shopping for foundation. My skin is so wonky and I've never found a proper match. I'm so excited!!!
You are breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for the pleasure of watching your ethereal beauty.
This was the absolute best informational/educational video on how to find your perfect foundation match I have ever watched. I've spent a lot of hours staring at my phone screen, trying to find what I was looking for... Your video was just what I needed to get me on the right path. Thank you SO much for taking your time and sharing your knowledge!!
try watching..actually just listen to her while you're high. so calming
This was so helpful! I've always known about testing on the side of the face, but suggesting that you take time to assess the redness and darker areas and really get to know your coloring was very very helpful. Thank you!
im extremely red, and my redness goes from my cheeks down to my jaw and chin! once i got my skin matched in a shop and i was o r a n g e, cause she did the test on my red patch! turns out the company doesnt cater to pale girls! im STILL on the hunt for a pale enough foundation, atm i mix about 5 at once, cause reasonably priced pale foundations are normally matte, and im so dry! the struuuugggllleee
@Phoebe our cc cream would be prefect for you! It corrects and conceals with sun protection. Check it out on my website www.marykay.com/divarae7 look at very light cc cream
Couldn't you try putting something underneath the matte foundations, like aragon oil. It's just a suggestion.
good suggestion! ill try, thanks!
since i commented this ive figured out a skin routine that calms my redness, but thank you x
+Phoebe Tickner Nars Creamy Concealer in Chantilly. a fair skinned girl with redness issues dream!!!
Thank you so much for this video. After years of struggling to find my correct shade, I was able to discover that the ladies at the cosmetic counter always talked me in to shades with pink tones. My color, which is similar to yours, actually looks better with a more neutral shade. It looks so much better with my body and complements the rest of my makeup beautifully. I can't thank you enough!
I am 24 years old and i have never worn foundation. my skin isn't perfect i get breakouts and scars however I'm concern about my wedding and appearance when i start working. I would like to look professional and clean instead of having people stare at my pimples and scars that are disgusting.
I have no idea how to shop for foundation, i, in fact never owned one. the only make up I have is mascara and eyeliner. ( i wear mascara everyday for school, but eyeliner on fancy days) I like to keep things very very simple because of the way I am. I often touch my face and/or hug people & i don't want my make up to be everywhere. I even can't get used to wearing lipstick because I end up biting/sucking my lip most of the time.
It would be awesome to consult you in person so I can know what make up works for me. basics all that i need to know...
I should try the L'Oréal True Match foundation, it matches for real really really good. but when finding the correct shade you need to find out what your undertone is (warm or cold) to find a correct shade, and you can always go to professionals to get matched
+Covet Petrichor (TVA) Hi! I would recommend something light, not a heavy duty foundation but something like a bb cream or a tinted moisturizer. You can also opt for a foundation if you want, or add a concealer with that too for extra coverage. After you've applied the foundation, dust it with powder to set it (or a setting spray if you like) just to make the cream stay on your face and so it won't transfer everywhere your face touches.
Good luck!
thanks aton
Absolutely best tips ever! Thanks a lot. I am now more confident about choosing the shade that doesn't perfectly match my face (which is cold, red) but matches my body (which is nicely warm, olive).... I feel more confident wearing warm colour on my face that matches my body instead of choosing cold/neutral colors matching my face but not the chest, arms, hands...
I know, I know... You are right about being confronted with your own image in the mirror, sometimes it's a shock, especially at the end of winter. It was very friendly of the lady in the shop to give you a sample, good luck with finding the right foundation! Greetings from a 49-old from Holland
Lisa dear, you are such a genius! Can't thank you enough for the massive educational help xx
This one video has changed my life with makeup! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
You really really are the best makeup artist and person. If I had tons of money and could hire someone to do my makeup I would choose you a hundred times over anyone else!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SERIES. You have taught me so much and hopefully I can look more natural and better than I have in the past. Now I need to lay to rest the victims in my "foundation graveyard."
I'm honestly SO grateful you are on TH-cam. I love other beauty channels, but you always deliver the right information and expertise! Thank you thank you thank you!
as i've aged, my face has become darker toned than my neck/shoulder area which has made wearing foundation next to impossible from the lack of knowledge on how to pick the right color. various online research, consultations with sephora/ulta/etc reps have led to (surprisingly?) dead ends. nothing i found explained how to remedy this as well as you have in this video. god bless you, lisa eldridge, and thank you!
I'm having troubles to find the right foundation, because in Spain it's really difficult to access to pale tones. That's why I appreciate so much this videos, and of course, I completely trust in your opinion. Thanks so much for making these, I have learnt a lot with your videos. Please don't ever stop, I love them.
I'm so glad that this video was created. In my late teens and twenties, when I suffered from moderate acne, the makeup consultants at department stores would always "match" me with foundations with pink undertones. Seeing as I'm half Korean, let's just say they were not ideal. Thankfully, I went to a Precriptives counter in college (when they were still in stores) and finally had a salesperson who saw the yellow undertones in my neck and areas not affected my acne. Made a world of difference!
I really needed this! My current foundation has pink undertones that makes me look like I held my breath and turned my face red! I'm gonna test in the jaw area from now on instead of the the back of my hand!
After spending so much in buying the wrong shade of foundation I finally found the right shade for me with the help of this video.. I dont really bother commenting at videos but because this have helped me a lot and I just wanna say Thank you so much for sharing.. love your videos! Keep the tips coming.. God bless..
Best video ever on choosing the right foundation.
I was aware of my problems, but wasn't sure how to about to tackle them. But you have answered them perfectly. I now just need to go find the right shade with your technique.
Thank you so much!
It is an honor and a privilege to receive such wisdom and insight. Thank you, Lisa.
Thank you so so much Lisa for this video. No-one has done a video anywhere near as good in assisting someone to choose the correct undertone foundation for their face. This has helped me tremendously and I now understand fully how to choose the correct shade for me. Thanks again - your skills in teaching are marvellous!
Lisa, you are just perfect person for this job. So naturally talented and you have so much knowledge. Than you for the video, it was very helpful.
Now that was truly a good professional explanation compared to what I've kard and saw from different MUA's. Thanks for sharing this video because it's definitely helpful.
Wow, I just can't believe that I have actually heard something new about choosing the right shade of foundation. Thank U soooo much!
You are not only teaching me a lot of things , but you are a big inspiration for me to be a makeup artist and find my courage to do it. I really wish I could meet you one day.
This is the first video that actually covers all the proper points of getting the right foundation. This has been the problem of my whole life because I am an Indian with slightly dark skin and always go wrong with the foundations I choose. Thank you for this.
It's so refreshing to see someone who actually knows what they're doing... Thanks for the video!
I have had ladies that work the makeup counters do exactly what you are describing here to me. They actually match the redness that is my whole reason for wearing foundation!
Although I enjoy watching all those beauty youtubers I do appreciate being provided with so much grounded knowledge and information by you. Thank you so much for putting all if this out there especially since you are such a much demanded make up professional who would not need to bother with TH-cam
Hi, Lisa, I just wanna thank you for this foundation course. It's really helpful and you explain things in a easy way. I discovered your videos just a few days ago and I must say you are perfect. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, your videos and website are really amazing and it helps so much you can't imagine!
This is the most helpful video I've ever watched concerning finding the right foundation shade! Thank you so much Lisa!
I have been looking and looking for someone to really break this down! You'd think it would be easy but with so many options and people just wanting to get a sale out of you, it's so overwhelming! I was on my way to the foundation graveyard so THANKYOU so much. I have subscribed and will be spreading the news. You are amazing and beautiful.
I watch you for basic knowledge that most of the makeup gurus don't know, and I watch Wayne Goss for trends and brand reviews. He is savage with his reviews and you sound so caring for everyone dealing with skin problems. You two are lethal combination.
genius. this woman knows her stuff! so talented. xx
These are the best videos I've seen on foundations. Thanks SO MUCH for making them, Lisa. You truly are an amazing makeup arist, teacher and inspiration!
Lisa, this was so extremely helpful! Thank you. I have spent so much money on foundations that never completely match......even with the help at the cosmetic counters. Now that I'm older I've found it even more difficult, as I need to conceal more than I had before. Thank you, Lisa!
haha thanks .... and its still only a little bit of what I've learnt over the course of my career! X
I love your videos and how you explain things so well. I have picked up so many useful ways to improve the way the make-up looks. Thank you for all the tutorial. I always look forward for your videos and try to improve the way I apply make-up.
I wish I could have hold off buying yet another foundation without " self -knoeledge". But i just bought onr before i saw these videos ! Lisa, thanks so much for these are extremely helpful advice!
Fantastic information, Lisa. Thank you. I can't tell you the number of times I've been colour matched for foundation by a sales assistant, only to get home and find that the foundation they sold me is too orange, or too yellow.
