How To: Find Your Perfect Foundation Shade Match | Sephora

[@lynetteplans7974]

I'm a neutral. I can't tell you how many times I've gone to the makeup counter and had the sales associate recommend something that looks yellowish or pinkish on me. Now that I know, it's much easier to shop.😊

Great demo and info from David! He is such a great teacher and demonstrator.

Arlene Hynes He really is!

You mean Beauty Director DAVID. LOVE YOU DAVID ❤️❤️❤️🙏

[@tyv3229]

It’s always a good day when I see David. ❤❤❤ Love this! Thank you, David, for your expertise. 😊

[@rwansays]

This was very helpful! I’m a neutral and I’ve always felt pretty with the mixing of gold and silver jewelry 😂🤩

[@midlifemom5829]

Lighting inside Sephora is terrible. Once I purchase a foundation, I discover it's way off in natural light

[@vanessahinds1491]

Right? I have to ask for a sample and walk around, go outside, etc

[@wonderzofcloudn9ne]

Thank you for the demo always appreciated and needed!!

[@laetitia5099]

David is back 😊

Please do makeup for olive skin

[@jackiebedward2249]

Ok David, nice demo. Can you do the same demo on a brown girl with beautiful melanated skin.

[@midlifemom5829]

Yes!

Beautiful advice

[@silllykitten329]

My neck is a totally different color from my face so that’s great. Unless I want to self tan it every day or blend expensive foundation down to my collar bones it looks very odd.

Thank you for sharing your tips 😊

[@danagodfrey2979]

Awesome video cheers

[@vanessahinds1491]

This would be even more helpful if you had 3 models representing all three undertones.

[@Sephora]

Vanessa Hinds Hey there, we'll keep that in mind for future shade matching!

[@tamanna4707]

I’m neutral,(NARS-Bercelona) I went to Sephora recently and wanted to try Hauslab by lady Gaga,the shade range there is really confusing.The test with black machines one associate did matched me was darker and wrong under tone.Some matches with there neck which does not look good on me.

[@vanessahinds1491]

I'd love a video about those matching machines. I have had different associates do that with me in the same Sephora store and the results are always different

[@ColleenJoudrey]

I have fair-olive skin that leans warm. I haven't found a shade that works as of yet so for the most part, I have given up wearing foundation. Everyone I have tried looks either too peach, pink or murky.

[@jetson10100]

Thank you David, I've been told I'm a neutral, does that mean though that you can wear either cool neutral or warm neutral?

[@Sephora]

jetson10100 It can depend on which way you lean as a neutral. A good test is trying a cool neutral swatched next a warm neutral on your jawline and see which looks closer.

[@annsgal2025]

Should we wait for the foundation to completely dry (wait for it to oxidize) before deciding whether a shade matches?

[@Sephora]

@annsgal2025 Yes, that's always a good idea.

[@JulianaPhalange]

What foundation brush was that??

[@Swiftieforlife12345]

Sephora pls I don’t care how sees this I just want someone to see it plsssssssssssss make an age limit to 18 and over ok cause this is getting out of hand
