How to have the right foundation all year round ?
Tip 1 : We advise you to alternate between two shades of foundation : one for the cold seasons and another, of a superior shade, for the warm seasons.
Indeed, we always take colors in summer, even when not exposed to the sun.
To find the right shade for summer, simply choose the superior shade, while remaining in the same undertone.
Tip 2 : Have a foundation corresponding to your winter shade and mix it with a bronzer, all year long. This can be done with foundation and loose powder bronzers.
Skin tone
You don't know if you have a porcelain complexion or a fair complexion ? When choosing a foundation on the internet, you hesitate between medium and tanned ? We explain everything to you to determine exactly your skin color, also called skin tone or complexion.
You have a porcelain complexion if you do not expose yourself to the sun, otherwise you will get a sunburn in just a few minutes. Very often, you don't find a shade light enough for a large majority of tinted products.
You have a pale to light complexion if you may have a tendency to burn in the sun. You are probably the lightest shade or the second lightest shade in other brands of natural makeup.
You have a fair complexion if you can tan gradually with regular sun exposure, after getting sunburned at first. You may be wearing the second or third lightest shade in most other brands.
You have a fair to medium skin tone if you rarely get sunburned and tan well. You are also fair to medium if you alternate between light and medium shades often depending on the season.
You are medium to tanned if you tan easily and never get sunburned. A true goddess with a bronze skin !
You have a tanned complexion if your skin darkens easily with sun exposure and you never get a single sunburn.
You have a tanned to dark complexion if you tan easily and change your foundation shade according to the seasons, between tanned and dark.
You have a dark complexion if you tan less quickly and easily but are not at all sensitive to the sun because you never get a sunburn.
Warm complexion, cool complexion, how to find your undertone :
The mineral foundation Satin Matte ALIMA PURE has 5 different undertones. An undertone is the shade of the complexion. But how do you find your own ? How do you know if your complexion is warm, cool, or olive ? Discover all our tricks to finally decipher this shade that allows you to always find the right shade of foundation.
You have a cool undertone (also called pink or cool undertone) if :
- Silver jewelry suits your look better than gold jewelry.
- Blue clothes suits your look better than yellow clothes.
- Pink blushes suits your complexion better than coral blushes.
- Your wrist veins look bluer than green.
- You notice that foundation shades tend to show up too yellow on your skin.
Warning : just because you have redness, blemishes or rosacea does not mean that your undertone is cool. The undertone applies to the entire body skin. Redness does not affect it.
You have a warm undertone (also called yellow undertone) if :
