Not really. Unless all you are painting is people in completely diffused studio lighting lol. Plus if you use traditional media this will not help you understand how each paint mixes with the others because of its pigments and its undertones
Yes definitely. I struggle being able to find a foundation light enough for me. I'm very pale and I have to use a pure white mixer foundation to get the lightest shades even lighter. It's so frustrating that there's not an off the shelf option
I love this because not only do you get to play around with color theory but you can also figure out your undertone. You definitely are on the warm end of the spectrum!
I took a theater makeup class in college and this is how we mixed foundation. If you get your ratios down you can premix your shade and decant it into a sanitary, resealable container so it’s on hand when you need it.
I think NYX already makes those. I forgot the name of the brand Exactly. But I agree. I would love to see different formulas like either hydrating, Matt, hybrid, etc ones come from different brands.
TRUE! That way you could adjust the color seasonally! There's always that summer function photo where I can tell I should have changed my foundation! 👀😅
@Moptop they just have color adjusting drops to fix an already mismatched foundation and they only come in red, yellow, black and white and are honestly too runny to do much. I'm talking about basically a base foundation set (for cost effectiveness) that would only be those colors for you to adjust the shade to your exact skin tone.
it’s not that it’s _hard_. it’s that everyone’s skin tones are different so it’s hard to make for everybody, and the resources limit just how many they can make. now, if they sold something like this where people can make their own foundation shade, that’d probably go really well.
@@chrystalneveah4666 the problem is that huge brands up until the past decade didn’t even have dark foundation shades. and a lot of smaller brands only do white or slightly tan shades. there is no reason why there should be a default skin color to make. if u can’t afford to have at least a few different poc shades and only have white shades, then u aren’t ready to start your company. they’ll have 30 white shades w 5 poc shades. “resources” isn’t the problem here.
As a makeup noob, a video like this suggests the best way to make foundation for every skin tone would be just selling the base colours for people to combine to match their skin. The colours sold separately and in a variety of sizes, since different skin tones would need different proportions and it would be a bad idea to make everyone get the same size of every colour, then have a website or fact sheet that helped you work out the ratios for the colours, and then addition tips of what colour to add to adjust it a certain way. To my makeup noob brain, that seems like a pretty good idea. The only negative I could see would be the inconvenience of having to mix it yourself and keeping track of how much of each colour was added so you can recreate it next time. Materials and pricing would also be an issue, because instead of a customer buying one bottle, they would have to buy 5, so either each bottle would, on average, be 1/5 the size of an average foundation bottle or the customer has to buy 5 times the amount of stuff they would normally buy.

Making a color with paint vs making one with a lot more chemicals and moving pieces involved is very different, they should have better shades but this isn't a fair comparison
I mean to be fair there's literally like a billion different combinations of colors for skin types... No two people are the EXACT same shade but people fit in a general area and the shades are "close enough" so they only make so many colors and hope for the best and the people with odd skin tones that are harder to match just have to cover their necks and ears to make it look good 😅
You know this didn't actually take the few seconds this clip represents, right? And we saw her try blending it FOUR times. You think a makeup company is going to do all that?
Start a makeup company where women go in, pick out a swatch like you do at the paint aisle in Home Depot, and the person behind the counter mixes up the foundation on the spot.
There is a company in NYC that does that. I get my foundation from them at the CBC ALC in DC every year and then they can mail my order if I need more through the rest of the year.
Maam, you have a yellow-orange undertone. Build your foundation shade from there. The blue is meant to neutralize the yellow and orange if they end up being too saturated. The white softens the colors.
There should be a foundation kit released that comes with pumps of yellow, white, black, blue, and red. A chart that shows how many pumps are needed for a general shade range, and then instructions on how to colour correct the premade colours to your specific skin. Like yes, companies should just make more shades. No, it’s not that hard. But I think it’s be a cool idea to be able to mix your own shades- and then for people who have more dramatic shifts in skin tone in different seasons, they don’t have to buy multiple foundations. It’s also be a good idea to sell the colours individually and in a kit that comes with all of them. That way people who will run out of certain colours before others don’t have to rebuy every colour every time. Face paint is, ok? But water based paint cracks easily, and oil based/grease paint stays sticky and gets messy quickly.
Actually wouldn't need the black. You can basically create black with red, yellow and blue paint as it is. When I did a studio art class for a year in uni, we were only allowed to have one red, yellow and blue in a specific shade, and white. That's it. Just four paints. We had a project where we had to paint a colour still life picture, and then do the same thing, but in greyscale, but with the blacks we created. It was a good way to see if we mixed too much of any of the colours into them, because you could tell once white was added into them.
I’m not an art student at all, but I’m in middle school and generally wondering, was it yellow and red? I feel like red is pretty much very needed for black people, and yellow helps “calm” it down? I can’t explain it I’m sorry 😂 Edit: (read the comment wrong, but got my answer anyhow)
She is obsessed with makeup and understands tone. I would probably need a while to do it the first time but then I would be able to get it pretty quick. If you dont do makeup or are interested in artsy things then it's probably super difficult.
@@sav_v1856close, you want to get a desaturated orange for brown skin. start with orange and add little bits of blue and white. if you have a warmer skin tone add more red or yellow and a cooler skin tone add more purple or blue
This is the exact color matching sort of thing the ladies used to make for you at the makeup counter in the 1920s and 30s. Before ready-made compacts were a thing.
Artist tip: warmer tones means more yellow. If you're a warm brown, try making orange and green and adding them together. Regular complimentary colors are red and green, but using orange means MORE YELLOW. If you are cooler toned, you need more blue. So you could try orange and blue.
@Unreasonably Random Thats what I was taught in art class, yes. It all depends on the proportions tho. The idea is that equal parts yellow, blue, and red will make a neutral brown. But most people would use equal parts orange and blue. Which actually means half blue, a quarter red and a quarter yellow. I've found in my own art that blue seems so much more pigmented than the other two and has to be used sparingly so that it doesn't overwhelm the whole mix
it's true of all colors, it's about shades. Plus if you spin the color wheel it gives you white. So everycomplexion is a mixture of all colors just in different proportions. Also among people of the same color there are actually different colors - look at color matching "seasons"
I'm an artist. I found it easier for getting shades of brown, to mix first yellow and red and then adding blue, bit by bit depending on how deep and cool you need your shade. The more warmer your shade, the more yellow you add at the beggining. If you need it to be lighter add white, bit by bit as well. Be aware of white 'cause it can turn your color greyish.
There are different ways to make brown: red+green; yellow+purple; blue+orange. Thinking about it that way instead of an equal combo of 3 will help. Also blue darkens, yellow lightens but keep undertone in mind and don’t add black or white right off the bat
@@mulangrahmadani7938 How can skin be pale and tan at the same time? Do you mean you have tan skin with an olive undertone??? Either way, the process is the same. Red, yellow, and blue in varying quantities (depending on your undertone), add white to lighten or black to darken.
Actually pale people should start with white lol but to make a pale pink color. Then you could add a bit of yellow to make it more of a warm peach color. Then add a tiny bit of green to shift it towards a more tan color.
See the yellow and purple combination already has red in it because blue and red makes purple. The same goes with the blue and orange. Orange has red and yellow in it. So the only thing it does is speed up the process. There was a makeup brand called PRESCRIPTIVES -they specialized in mixing up the colors for customizing your foundation. They started with these colors for every single person that stepped up to the counter then depending upon your undertone, they added any more of whatever color you I needed. The science was fascinating! When they did me they started with red and yellow and I kept insisting that they put in red but they did slide a little bit of the blue in there and then I realized that they were making the brown with my red. When we were choosing colors they were insisting that I could colors like yellow. now I know that more towards the center of my face has a more warm and yellow undertone. They were right.
@@mulangrahmadani7938 if they were customizing your foundation they would start with what your undertones are. Then they would add in either the red green, blue yellow purple or the blue orange but then adding in white to lighten up the whole combination until it hits your skin tone. What color are your veins? if they are green start with the red green combination( because green has yellow and blue in it already). You then may need to add a little more yellow to pick up that tan that you are talkin about. then adding red until it becomes more towards pink then add White
Dear comment section; It wasn't until recently that most makeup companies included any blue pigment in their formulations at all. This is why growing up all of us british gals were orange, lol, those of us that wore makeup anyway! I just couldn't do it - I was too pale for anything they were selling as well as too cool, so I would have looked ridiculous. Thank goodness for us cool toned, super light and super dark ladies that's changed within the last few years! It turns out I have a very pale shade of "olive" skin, so I definitely needed that blue! I forget the name of the company, but there's even one that sells the skin friendly pigments that you can mix together or add to other products to get the shade that's JUST RIGHT for YOU!
is the lack of blue makeup because they had to find something proven skin-safe to put in the products while being effective? follow-up question, the stuff that makes the orange, is that more likely to be skin-friendly?
So I just looked up the options and there are a TON of companies that do this now. If you look up makeup mixing pigments, they should come up. LA girl was definitely one of the first ones to adopt this, but I don't remember if they were the first.
So there is actually a formula for this: two parts yellow, one part red, one part blue....this gives you your base. You then add equal parts of your base and either yellow, blue or red to get the required skin tone, adjusting as you go. 😊 They use it in painting ❤
yeah and it got a bit gray at first because she added white, I learned you shouldn't use white for darker skin tones (info for people that what to try this)
Those vocals giiirl ❤❤❤ But totally that feeling of accomplishing colour match. I haven't tried but I can imagine that is exactly how I would be singing too 😂 absolutely LOVE your content sis
I think something i learned in an art class is that for brown skin you’re essentially supposed to make purple first and depending on how deep your skin tone is add more or less yellow
As an artist, I'm so impressed. I've always thought skin tones are really difficult to mix. Until about 1/2 way through I was sure you'd never get it. But I think you're ready for portrait painting.
Clinique was the first cosmetic company in the 70's that I can remember that came out with a liquid green mask primer that dried before applying your liquid foundation. It was made to wear underneath your makeup to lighten your skin, and get rid of redness.
Some tips from a painter :) Complimentary colours mixed together make brown, (red and green for example), so I would mix blue and yellow by themselves to get green and then add however much red you need to get brown. For your skin tone I would probably use a little more yellow when you mix the green and add white at the end - you could also do this for white skin and use a lot more white at the end depending on your undertones.
That's still all three primary colors though... I get what you're saying and the message you are putting out there, but it's still all primary colors no matter how you do it. Idek if I'm getting what I'm trying to say across anymore😅
@@Yvonne-Bella They never said it wasn't primary colors? They were talking about amounts of which colors to mix. Complimentary colors means like opposite/contrasting colors on the typical color wheel. Not trying to be mean but I don't see how you understood the message or what they were putting out there when it sounds like you didn't understand their comment at all so I wanted to explain lol..
Once upon a time, large department stores would mix up your powder in front of you. 1940s and 50s. They would measure out pinks, peaches, whites, blues and greens in the correct amount for your desired look.
@@drkrishnap it's cost and convenience. To train and hire talented staff to do this costs money. And it's simple to snatch a premade formula from any number of nonspecialist stores in a pinch. This is the tradeoff.
@@louisadale5907 what training? Have you seen the lipstick mixer thingy? Have you seen color cards? Just hold against your skin. There will be a machine. Just need a chart with the number of presses needed from each color. Test it by applying. Regular staff will do. Then you can select your brand, and volume, and place the order.
The biggest art tip I can give you is to look at the color wheel. Use complementary colors to change a color's hue. For example: if it’s too green, add red; if it’s too blue, add orange, and so on. I would not recommend using white or black to change its value. Instead, use a complementary color as explained above for a more saturated look. Then, go in with white/black to mute the color if needed. You also want to use your undertones to get a better outcome. Your skin isn’t just one color. So adding a small amount of blue, green, or purple will make color matching much easier. If you want to know what your undertones are, look at the veins on your wrist. Hope this helps
What are the veins on my wrist showing me? I’m like a caramel complexion but I’m sure the inside of my wrist is way lighter than my face. I’m black so when I say caramel I truly mean that not tan.
mine are teal (greenish blue/blueish green) @@TwistedRootsMelody I'm mixed race and middle aged, so I used to have to make my own foundation by mixing foundation with colour corrector, loose eye shadow and/or Halloween/Clown' cream pots. Thankfully I had good skin, so most of the time, moisturizer mixed with a little bronzer or gold shimmer was enough, but now that I NEED foundation to look like a living human, I am so thankful at the evolution of diversity at the makeup counter. Also, I love how diy make-up has become mainstream. So much creativity and confidence in these young folks. I loooove it!!!!
When you added the red it made a pretty colour for a blush 😍, I keep seeing these and the ones where people make their own lipstick and they’re some of my favourite makeup reels/shorts to watch.
my art teacher taught us that making brown is like making a snowman. for the top layer, (smallest) you’d use blue, then the mid layer, red, and the biggest layer, (bottom), yellow. hope this helps!
I was about to make fun of the “new color changing foundation” but then you actually got it to match and I’m like, REALLY impressed. Looks great!! Now if only makeup companies could figure it out lol

The more warmer your shade, the more yellow you add at the beggining. If you need it to be lighter add white, bit by bit as well. Be aware of white 'cause it can turn your color greyish.
Orange sounds like a good mix
And if you add too much white and it gets desaturated, liven it up with a neon to pull it back, or mix the neon with white before you add it in
That’s amazing!
This is honestly the coolest makeup trend I’ve seen. I love art so seeing people successfully mixing the primaries to match their skin is awesome.
There are different ways to make brown: red+green; yellow+purple; blue+orange. Thinking about it that way instead of an equal combo of 3 will help. Also blue darkens, yellow lightens but keep undertone in mind and don’t add black or white right off the bat
Then if i got "pale" tan skin what should i do?
@@mulangrahmadani7938 How can skin be pale and tan at the same time? Do you mean you have tan skin with an olive undertone??? Either way, the process is the same. Red, yellow, and blue in varying quantities (depending on your undertone), add white to lighten or black to darken.
Actually pale people should start with white lol but to make a pale pink color. Then you could add a bit of yellow to make it more of a warm peach color. Then add a tiny bit of green to shift it towards a more tan color.
See the yellow and purple combination already has red in it because blue and red makes purple. The same goes with the blue and orange. Orange has red and yellow in it. So the only thing it does is speed up the process. There was a makeup brand called PRESCRIPTIVES -they specialized in mixing up the colors for customizing your foundation. They started with these colors for every single person that stepped up to the counter then depending upon your undertone, they added any more of whatever color you I needed. The science was fascinating! When they did me they started with red and yellow and I kept insisting that they put in red but they did slide a little bit of the blue in there and then I realized that they were making the brown with my red. When we were choosing colors they were insisting that I could colors like yellow. now I know that more towards the center of my face has a more warm and yellow undertone. They were right.
@@mulangrahmadani7938 if they were customizing your foundation they would start with what your undertones are. Then they would add in either the red green, blue yellow purple or the blue orange but then adding in white to lighten up the whole combination until it hits your skin tone. What color are your veins? if they are green start with the red green combination( because green has yellow and blue in it already). You then may need to add a little more yellow to pick up that tan that you are talkin about. then adding red until it becomes more towards pink then add White
Oh wow you did SO good
Omg that’s freaking cool! 🤩
Honestly, this is one of the best ones I’ve seen. Some people’s final color is a bit too far off from their natural complexion. You did great!
Dear comment section; It wasn't until recently that most makeup companies included any blue pigment in their formulations at all. This is why growing up all of us british gals were orange, lol, those of us that wore makeup anyway! I just couldn't do it - I was too pale for anything they were selling as well as too cool, so I would have looked ridiculous. Thank goodness for us cool toned, super light and super dark ladies that's changed within the last few years! It turns out I have a very pale shade of "olive" skin, so I definitely needed that blue! I forget the name of the company, but there's even one that sells the skin friendly pigments that you can mix together or add to other products to get the shade that's JUST RIGHT for YOU!
Omg please lmk if you remember the name of the company!! That sounds amazing!
@@l-i-l-l-y6462 L.A girl has foundation mixing pigments in blue, white, yellow, and orange/red
@@momoluv114 Thank you!
is the lack of blue makeup because they had to find something proven skin-safe to put in the products while being effective?
follow-up question, the stuff that makes the orange, is that more likely to be skin-friendly?
So I just looked up the options and there are a TON of companies that do this now. If you look up makeup mixing pigments, they should come up. LA girl was definitely one of the first ones to adopt this, but I don't remember if they were the first.
That’s pretty awesome
You are so entertaining haha! Keep it up
This is the most realistic of all these mix vids, seeing her struggle made me feel better about myself 😂
So there is actually a formula for this: two parts yellow, one part red, one part blue....this gives you your base. You then add equal parts of your base and either yellow, blue or red to get the required skin tone, adjusting as you go. 😊 They use it in painting ❤
You need 2 part yellow because blue plus yellow equals green. And green plus orange equals brown. So ya it's really just simple.
yeah and it got a bit gray at first because she added white, I learned you shouldn't use white for darker skin tones (info for people that what to try this)
I love her energy 😭
Those vocals giiirl ❤❤❤
But totally that feeling of accomplishing colour match. I haven't tried but I can imagine that is exactly how I would be singing too 😂 absolutely LOVE your content sis
I think something i learned in an art class is that for brown skin you’re essentially supposed to make purple first and depending on how deep your skin tone is add more or less yellow
Yeah that sounds about right! Blue and red make purple I think, so adding the yellow on top of blue made green..fomenting for anyone trying this out ❤
That’s what I learned too
How is your skin so perfect, it’s not fair 😭❤️
filters and after effects
Yes you are right she is not fair💀
I love your videos!!
Watching you get it on fleek was beyond satisfying! Awesome job! ❤
You are literally just mixing paint to find your shade, and I love it.
What is shade?
Going from Shrek shade to your own shade of foundation. At this point, what can Darcei not do? 😩
Fr!
Shrek is stunning tho 💚😂
@@randomcommenter367 I’ll admit it, he has his own charm.
Why does it look like she added concealer or foundation towards the end? And that cut made it sus but I know sometimes they shorten the time.
@@juniorcarrillo4213 She probably blended it in that time
As an artist, I'm so impressed. I've always thought skin tones are really difficult to mix. Until about 1/2 way through I was sure you'd never get it. But I think you're ready for portrait painting.
IT'S WOOORKINGGGGG ✨
when you can't find your foundation shade-
you make it💅
Clinique was the first cosmetic company in the 70's that I can remember that came out with a liquid green mask primer that dried before applying your liquid foundation. It was made to wear underneath your makeup to lighten your skin, and get rid of redness.
So that's what that was!! 😮😅
Lol😂
Your cosplay's so cute! I really really enjoyed this vid! +1 sub
THAT'S impressive 👏🏼
Darcei is on her Bob Ross sh*t! Love to see it! 👏🏾🎨👩🏾🎨
Some tips from a painter :)
Complimentary colours mixed together make brown, (red and green for example), so I would mix blue and yellow by themselves to get green and then add however much red you need to get brown. For your skin tone I would probably use a little more yellow when you mix the green and add white at the end
- you could also do this for white skin and use a lot more white at the end depending on your undertones.
That's still all three primary colors though...
I get what you're saying and the message you are putting out there, but it's still all primary colors no matter how you do it. Idek if I'm getting what I'm trying to say across anymore😅
@@Yvonne-Bella They never said it wasn't primary colors? They were talking about amounts of which colors to mix. Complimentary colors means like opposite/contrasting colors on the typical color wheel. Not trying to be mean but I don't see how you understood the message or what they were putting out there when it sounds like you didn't understand their comment at all so I wanted to explain lol..
That’s amazing. Wish I could do this.
You absolutely could do this. It just takes trial and error to get it right. It is doable in the end.
Shes so excited! 😂 i couldnt even tell u had any on after u finished. Good job.
Stores should start doing this. .. making foundations on the spot by checking our skin tone.
No but facts tho!! Sephora need to hire some color theorists and make the foundation there then record the formula so u can order it!!
Once upon a time, large department stores would mix up your powder in front of you. 1940s and 50s. They would measure out pinks, peaches, whites, blues and greens in the correct amount for your desired look.
@@louisadale5907 clearly we are being pied pipered by companies
@@drkrishnap it's cost and convenience. To train and hire talented staff to do this costs money. And it's simple to snatch a premade formula from any number of nonspecialist stores in a pinch. This is the tradeoff.
@@louisadale5907 what training? Have you seen the lipstick mixer thingy? Have you seen color cards? Just hold against your skin. There will be a machine. Just need a chart with the number of presses needed from each color. Test it by applying. Regular staff will do. Then you can select your brand, and volume, and place the order.
The biggest art tip I can give you is to look at the color wheel. Use complementary colors to change a color's hue. For example: if it’s too green, add red; if it’s too blue, add orange, and so on. I would not recommend using white or black to change its value. Instead, use a complementary color as explained above for a more saturated look. Then, go in with white/black to mute the color if needed. You also want to use your undertones to get a better outcome. Your skin isn’t just one color. So adding a small amount of blue, green, or purple will make color matching much easier. If you want to know what your undertones are, look at the veins on your wrist. Hope this helps
What are the veins on my wrist showing me? I’m like a caramel complexion but I’m sure the inside of my wrist is way lighter than my face. I’m black so when I say caramel I truly mean that not tan.
@@Queenofdacastlei believe if your veins show up as green, you have a warm undertone, if blue, cool undertone
@@Zzz-ff1np oh ok thanks
@Zzz-ff1np thx. I didn't know this, thought everyone veins was blue 😮
mine are teal (greenish blue/blueish green) @@TwistedRootsMelody I'm mixed race and middle aged, so I used to have to make my own foundation by mixing foundation with colour corrector, loose eye shadow and/or Halloween/Clown' cream pots. Thankfully I had good skin, so most of the time, moisturizer mixed with a little bronzer or gold shimmer was enough, but now that I NEED foundation to look like a living human, I am so thankful at the evolution of diversity at the makeup counter. Also, I love how diy make-up has become mainstream. So much creativity and confidence in these young folks. I loooove it!!!!
Great job!!!!👏
That’s so cool!!!
It’s so cool when it really starts blending and it almost looks like you’re taking the paint off cuz it matches your skin so well
This is so impressive holy
It turned out *SO* good tho
I just love this woman. She is the perfect quirky energy
When you added the red it made a pretty colour for a blush 😍, I keep seeing these and the ones where people make their own lipstick and they’re some of my favourite makeup reels/shorts to watch.
how did u do thattt thiss ccool oh myy gosh
“Okay that’s proper green”
Is one of my fav quotes ever!
my art teacher taught us that making brown is like making a snowman. for the top layer, (smallest) you’d use blue, then the mid layer, red, and the biggest layer, (bottom), yellow. hope this helps!
Her enthusiasm is amazing
As an artist...I approve this message. 😁 Awesome job! 🙌
"Now it's proper green" you had me dying when you said that!
LOVE her reaction in the final product as an art person I can feel that when you find that perfect shade🥰❤️
I absolutely love her energy!
Im so excited for yu!!! this is crazy skill and determination 🎉
Good work!
And that’s how ‘ Ladies and Gentleman’ the Divine made the perfect shade of YOU.
Am i the only one that loves her skin? like it’s really pretty
It looks like a sage green to me
Love the vid
that looks good
I was about to make fun of the “new color changing foundation” but then you actually got it to match and I’m like, REALLY impressed. Looks great!! Now if only makeup companies could figure it out lol
i was expecting u to say “just paint it on love” with a british accent
