Hello lovelies,
So I've recently discovered my undertone is cool and I'm now wondering what I should be looking for in the name of a foundation shade eg. warm beige, ivory, porcelain etc.?
I've got fair to light skin and every foundation I seem to buy looks far too pink and weird.
Any help would be great girls, thankyou x

Well its not so much the name of the shade as the look of the swatch. cool undertones look grey-ish without any pink or golden in them.. try looking for that. Most ivory shades are pink tones so it won't suit your undertone.

Also lots of brands have the undertone on the bottle. If you need specific help while in the store don't be afraid to ask someone who works there.

Actually cool tones have more pink in them. If they're too pink then you may be neutral in tone or those foundations are too dark. Neutral undertone is neither pink nor golden and has the grayish tone to it. Try out the True Match foundation from loreal and try the "N" range aka neutral
