Cory Cosmetics Helpful Tips Ffor Coloring Specifics

Accept from knowing your actual skin type( oily, dry, combo, damaged .. ect) ... true tonal coloring is the most important factor when it comes to using cosmetics effectively & then using them to make the most of every feature or hiding the worst. Once you acquire this knowledge .. the rest is a walk in the park ...

Mineral Foundations

To achieve a perfect canvas setting, one must choose a foundation shade that closely resembles or matches exactly to their own natural coloring. Nobody's skin is identical .. and let's face it .. there are folks out there like me that have been 'clueless' as to what all the talk is about when it comes to 'undertones'. After long nights of research & self analyzing I feel that I have learned enough to help guide those that are as confused as I was .. Regardless of us all being the unique individuals that we are .. we all do have one thing in common. That one thing is that we all fall into distinct groups of color tones. The color groups I am talking about are Cool Tones, Warm Tones & Complete Neutrals.

When choosing a foundation shade, it is best to check the chosen foundation color by being in natural light (outside) & rubbing a small amount onto a patch of clean skin along your jaw line. Testing foundation along the jaw line & in natural lighting will ensure that your shade choice of foundation is best matched. You may also want to let the foundation color settle for a few minutes as some colors may noticeably change color, particularly those with really oily skin.

Completely Neutral Coloring ...

Those with neutral coloring or certain types of 'olive toned' folks fair alot better when they wear a neutralized colored toned foundation. These neutralized colors I speak of can range anywhere between 'grayish' or 'olive (greenish/yellow)' in tone ..

Those who find themselves in this category are just as lucky as those with peach/orange undertones ... as they can wear both cool & warm toned makeup colors and look great in them as well ..
