- Hi Friends! I hope you enjoy this video. I am hoping it is as helpful as I set out for it to be. This was such a great recommendation from a viewer! Identifying and understanding undertones can be so tricky especially because some brands use different names, or categorize them differently than others. To keep it simple I just try and identify shades that have more yellow or more pink and ones that are neutral and go from there.

Finally, a makeup artist who takes the time to demonstrate with models how to choose a good color for foundation !!!!!
PSA: I worked at Target as a beauty consultant and we can help you find the correct match for you - we’re allowed to open products and give out samples and things like that :) So if you see any employees in the cosmetics section, don’t be afraid to ask. Same for Walgreens! There aren’t beauty consultants in every single store but it’s a nice thing to know! Drugstores are stepping up their game.
Yes, Walgreens is. And you can return a foundation in Walgreens if you just buy one and get it home and it's not the right shade.
peachy75019 yep! same for target!
That is so helpful to know! Thank you so much!
sunny ray that is great to know! Thank you so much for that info!
So far I've had my best foundation matching experience at a Walgreen's. That girl was spot on!
The employees at our local Ulta and Sephora *need* to watch this! They can't find your correct color to save their lives!
I did not have any luck with local Sephora either, sort of dark and to be honest I could not tell in the mirror she had me look at it in, until I got home. In hindsight , will go out to the car in daylight since the store is so dark. They should have a well lit mirror or something , maybe like make up depts in stores have, not one of those mirrors glued on the columns in the store Have not been back
I got "shade matched" at a Sephora and to be fair, color looked great in store. As soon as I got out in more natural lighting, I looked like a ghost. I paid $40 for foundation that wasn't even remotely my shade. 😂😂😂
Yes! Big facts!
Exactly!! Ulta Estée Lauder rep matched me with Ivory Beige when my skin is way more warm than cool....I looked so grey and returned it.
I have ALWAYS been mismatched. I have olive skin with rosacea so I’ve been matched with pink undertones due to the rosacea and yellow undertones due to color of my neck, but pink always looks horrible and unnatural and yellow always pulls way too yellow due to the olive undertones. I have only ever found 2 foundations that really match me perfectly
Very informative. Best tip: when deciding between two shades, go with the lighter shade and adjust with bronzer. Dynamite! Thank you, Lisa.
Ditto!
Omg, kamal is gorgeous even without makeup. 😍
Good for you that you have such a diverse group of friends. Right on!
Lisa is an excellent instructor. I love how she uses four different skin tones in this video.
I just started working as a beauty advisor at Ulta and the hardest thing for me has been helping color match customers without being able to use testers and finding the undertones but this video honestly helped break it down sooo much!!
Omg!! All your friends were so sweet!!! Kelly melted my heart!! Her excitement when she saw the final look was sooo cute!! ❤️ So helpful!
I always thought I had more yellow undertones, but after watching this, I was like, “girl , what world are you living in?? You’re clearly neutral!” 🤣 Someone lied to me!! 😂😂
Thanks for the help! ❤️
corrietwinb exactly what I thought after watching this! It's like Lisa was in my house yelling "you are neutral!" Going to get a new foundation asap!!
Lol! I’m so glad this was helpful! Thanks Corrie!
Lol! Thank you April!
April Cicalese Right?! Me too! I guess I’ve always found more yellow toned foundations to be flattering on my skin, but here we are!! 😂 Off I go to try a neutral shade! 💁🏻♀️
I’m Italian with olive skin (tan so easily & never burn). I was always told that I have yellow undertones. However, I personally have always thought that every foundation I’ve ever used made me look yellow or orange so I eventually just gave up and quit wearing foundation. I recently decided to give it another go but have started buying neutral foundations. They seem to work for me so I guess having olive skin doesn’t necessarily mean you’re definitely a warm/yellow undertone.
Yes, it definitely does not! I hope this helped a bit! Thanks Lauren! :)
I need to start trying neutral tones. ........
Lauren Kalbach this is my issue as well; I’ve always been told I have warm undertones but I’m way happier with neutral tones.
Dior has specific olive foundations in their new foundation line. They have a greenish tint to them which works great for us olive girls. Sephora just did a video on matching olive undertones. I also am olive but light to medium skin.
SAME HERE!!!!! Just recently found out!!
I've tried to understand undertones for years and defaulted to neutral to avoid the issue. It works for me and you just explained why it works. Thank you!
Thanks for this video I will be looking forward to another like it. Love learning new things even at 78 yrs old.
The vein test was always confusing to me...then I found out I am color blind!
The vein test is confusing to me, too. But I guess I'm just stupid 😂
😂😂😂😂😂💯💯💯
That would tend to make it difficult.
I can’t define my colors, I see blue, green and a little of purple. Also I get burns easily? Not sure if I’m cool or neutral??😢
Doesn't help when you can barely see your veins
Great video Lisa! I felt as though I was in a mini makeup class. Your instruction and demos on your friends were important because as a visual learner, it drove it home for me. Thank you again! Your models were wonderful!
So glad to hear! Thanks Jan!
@@lisajmakeup Would have been helpful to see you match the under-represented olive undertone.
Lisa, I love all your videos and stories, but these type of tutorials is where you really shine! You are a natural at it. Your friend Kelly is a doll!
Absolutely genius. Where have u been all my life. Uh completely just changed everything for me. God bless u!!!
Great educational video Lisa! Very useful information. I really enjoy this type of content.
Thank you Julie!
Kelly has perfect skin! What freckles! I don’t see any 😁 And she has a gorgeous smile!
Awww thank you!
I also sincerely enjoyed this video hey. It’s so educational. I love the mix of theory (telling us about undertones) and the practical component where you demonstrated it on actual different undertones. This is literally the first UA-cam makeup vid that’s like this. I’m inspired and encourage you to continued making your vids this way. Thank you girl😇
I’ve officially just subscribed. Can’t wait to follow what else you’ll be doing next. I’ll Defs suggest a few things once I’ve viewed the kind of content you have on your channel Lisa. Thanks so much.
I think this is one of my favorite videos you’ve done! I learned so much and loved the interaction with your friends. You really are an artist!
This was great Lisa! I love Kelly's reaction. It's a great feeling when you actually love the way your make-up (especially foundation) looks!
Yes! Thanks Joann!
This is soooo helpful to see it on actual people. Your friends all have beautiful skin and are very pretty. Thank you Lisa. Please keep this educational series going!
Thank you so much Wendy! :)
I ran into this video randomly and it is simply amazing! I love the way you explained the undertones and your side to side foundation swatch demos!!
Another great helpful session-Thank you Lisa. LOVED Kelly’s personality x
OMG! This is one of the BEST how-to foundation vids I’ve ever seen! Thank you for using a variety of people - shades and ages! 👏👏👏 Could you do more vids like this, pretty please? My request: A pale woman in her 50s with dry skin, some wrinkles, and green color corrector needed. (I mean, if you have someone like that. If not, I’ll volunteer. 😁)
JP M agreed 👏🏼👏🏼
Yes please that would be amazing
This could get weird. She just starts approaching strangers who have your skin....lol.
Check out hot and flashy! She does great videos and has many of the aspects you speak of!
This was an awesome video! It was so helpful to see the differences between your friends' skin tones and undertones and how you matched the foundation. Kelly's reaction was especially cute! Thank you for describing the color names because I've been buying beige but I think I'm neutral. This will definitely help me get a better foundation match. 👏🏻👏🏻❤️
So glad to hear it will be helpful! Thank you Lily! :)
LISA❤️❤️❤️❤️. What a great video!! Not only did you demonstrate on different skin tones and broke your explanation down so seamlessly, but you used one of the best drugstore foundations on the market today; making this accessible to all who are watching - BRILLIANT! I LOVE you, your videos, your eyeshadow palette, and your brushes!!! xoxox
This was one of my favorite videos, Lisa! Not only is it a topic I seriously struggle with, I loved you having your friends to match foundations on. It is very helpful to see other skin types and shades and I just really enjoyed the whole thing. I learned to match my chest rather than under my neck/jaw line and I learned neutral is probably good for me because it has both red and yellow.
So helpful! I never buy drug store foundation because I don’t know how to pick the right undertone or get confused with the names. I would always get color matched at Sephora and end up paying more than I want. Thank you!
So glad this was helpful! Thank you!
I do like that L'Oréal 24 hour foundation. not too matte and definitely not too hydrating. I also use the hydrating infallible version of this also on certain days. I think some drugstore foundations work pretty darn good, and are decently long lasting, especially for the drugstore price. I really like L'Oréal s products for the most part. thank you for doing these types of videos. very helpful. and you always seem to put be in a better mood because of your sense of humor, disposition, and of course content of your videos. you do have a knack for doing these. and honestly your videos and tutorials are the only ones I look forward to opening and watching. happy St Valentine's day, girl. keep up the positive upbeat attitude. btw ,your make up always looks so nice. but you have very nice skin to begin with. I always like a more natural makeup look. thanks again. Jean.
Drugstores allow you to return makeup, if it doesn't work out for you.
This was so fun and helpful! Thank you Lisa and friends for helping us all out!♡
Thank you so much Stephanie!
This video was so much fun to watch. Great tips. Your friends are adorable ❤.
Thank you so much for doing this! I was actually searching YT a couple of days for this info. Your video was not only helpful at the perfect time but very fun to watch. Love your channel!
Swatching all the colors on your models was helpful!! Pretty models too!!
Awww thank you! Xoxo
Kelly doesn’t need foundation. Her complexion is amazing.
Ring light
What a great and informative video Lisa. I have finally found my undertone. Love all your videos ! Thanks again!
Thank you! I have been trying to figure out my undertone for a long time! Love these educational videos❤️
Tracey🌸
Thank you so much for filming videos like this! They are so informative and helpful!
Great! So glad you liked it! Thanks!
Ok this is amazing Lisa! ❤ Your bringing something very different and so useful to the UA-cam platform! ❤ You are have a gift for teaching, please keep bringing instructional videos like that, it really sets you apart from the rest❤ Your the best Lisa, keep up the amazing work! ❤❤❤❤
D'accord!
Oh my goodness Lisa, I don’t recall when but maybe about 4 or so months ago I stumbled across your UA-cam channel and THANK GOODNESS I DID!! You are so sweet, soooo helpful and informative and I absolutely love your videos bc you truly were meant to make videos helping, teaching and sharing your wisdom and knowledge of makeup artistry!! If you didn’t make videos then I would attend seminars or classes if you held them! You have a beautiful gift of patience, kindness, and explaining things thoroughly but while providing examples and visuals and always so that it actually makes complete sense!! AND your enthusiasm and love for what you do, plus your fun personality and great and always interesting content, makes it so it’s never boring! I never find myself losing interest or focus or having to rewind bc I completely zoned out, and you never talk or go through anything too fast!! I’ve learned so much from you in just the short time I’ve been watching you, actually I’ve learned more from you in that time esp on a couple of my most difficult makeup application techniques, than I’ve learned in the probably 7 or more years I’ve been watching makeup tutorials on UA-cam! LoL. True story. I’m studying to become a certified makeup artists and there are just a couple things that I have down that I can do on others, but on myself - HAHAHA!!! 🤪 However, this video was so much needed, for myself, so THANK YOU!! I keep telling everyone that I can’t go by my veins when it comes to my undertones and I know I’m a neutral, bc cool tones look waaaaay to light and turn my face pink, but warm tones also make me look yellow. I started looking for neutral tones and found that they typically matched my skin perfectly and started getting a lot of compliments on my foundation lol. But when I asked an employee at Sephora AND Ulta to help match me and find my undertone, neither one could when looking at my veins! 🤪 but this was truly helpful bc I wasn’t aware of the shades you mentioned being considered as “neutrals”. Thank you and PLEASE keep the “learning” videos like this coming!! You are so beautiful, inside and out!! Xoxoxo Lots of love!!
Your one of the most sweetest youtubers. Your friends seem to be the perfect reflection of you. 😊
Thank you. First one of these videos I've seen that addresses someone with a yellow neck but lots of pink coming through. I'm slightly paler though. It's so hard to pick a drugstore foundation.
It can be so tough! Hope this helps!
This is hands down the most informative video I have ever come across. Thank you 🙏🏽
Yay! Thank you so much Melissa!
You really know your stuff Lisa!! Loved it. Super insightful helpful and hands on!!
Thanks for the video! It’s great that you demonstrated on multiple ethnicities and skin tones! Super helpful 👍
please do for how to choose for correct concealer and contour shade
YES. And can we add on blush? I try everything and it's all fail.
Muskan thakur yes u would like that too
I went to Maybelline New York store for getting correct concealer and the sales person said we always buy the same shade in concealer as the skin colour, and he handed me Light shade in Maybelline age rewind concealer. When I used it my make-up routine I started to look pale white that's why concealer guide is much more needed for me
This wish also gets a vote from me.
Muskan thakur I know this is an old post but a shade that matches you perfectly is for actually concealing blemishes, freckles or scars. Most professionals say to buy one shade lighter used to brighten under eyes and highlight nose forehead etc if you like to do that step. But then there's color corrector for darker pigmentation which I believe is a salmon color and green to help with redness. There's so much to knee so yes a video would be great but I hope this helps you choose a concealer! 😀
Thank you so much for this video, Lisa! Yes, please do more education/technique-related ones, especially featuring people with diverse skin tones, ages, and skin types all in one video. You must really have been a very effective trainer at MAC.
Way too excited for this YAY!!! 😍also you look so fresh and GLOWING!! 😘❤❤
You really nailed it for each woman’s skin color. Thank you! Helpful video👍👍👍👍👍
Great video👍 It is very hard choosing the perfect foundation from a drugstore, but this video has helped tremendously❤️
So glad to hear! Thanks Theresa!
This was the best lesson I've ever seen on undertones! I've always found it so confusing. Thank you....I love the teaching videos!
Yay! Thank you Beth! :)
Yes please continue with videos like this. Knowing the theory behind makeup application is really helpful.
Thank you! I was struggling to find my shade in the drugstore and this video is a life saver!! You’re awesome 🤩
Lovely ladies, I fall in love with Kelli, what a wonderful energy she exudes, very useful video, thanks so much.
Thank you so much Ursula!
All of your friends have gorgeous skin! Lucky pups!! I loved this video.
Thank you Mary :)
This is hands down the best video I have seen on choosing the correct foundation! You really broke things down in a way that's understandable and truly appreciate it. Looking at the tone of your chest area was something I hadn't even thought of doing. But that's a major help because I just was not sure about my face. I have some redness but at the same time I felt like I had some yellowish tones because I have a lot of freckles and some tan and just really could not tell. This will be very helpful! Thank you! ❤
Fantastic video Lisa! I always struggle with finding the perfect match with foundations. Thank you again for a very informative video.
Thank you for making this video, it really helped me understand more.
So glad to hear! Thanks Rebecca!
This is so enlightening! Wish you could make this a series...Maybe go into finishes like matte, dewy, satin etc. Thank you so much. Need to share this with makeup loving friends.
Very informative Lisa! One of the most helpful tips I learned was key words that mean either cool, neutral or warm in drugstore foundations. They don’t always say and it’s so hard to find matches sometimes so that was very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I love educational videos. I also appreciate you doing this on different skin tones. I like that you swatched all 3 colors on the last person. I couldn’t tell which color was right until you did that. It helps me think about what to look for
Love the education videos!
Kelly was a doll! You should bring her on more often as your model to demonstrate. Her enthusiasm was infectious!
Yay! Thank you Dawn! :)
Lisa ! I really love how you teach! I’m trying to teach myself via UA-cam on how to do make up and your videos definitely are super helpful! Thank you!
Thanks Vicky! :)
What a great video and your friends are all beautiful. Kelly is an absolute doll! I love how happy she was with her makeup, she’s gorgeous and funny.
This video is so helpful!! Im planning to buy my first foundation in years today, so this is a massive help. Thank you so much!!!!
Drugstores here in Australia have testers for all makeup including foundation
Thank you Lisa, I’ve always considered my undertone to be more yellow but I’ll see if a more neutral to yellow may work better. This is a great teaching video and you explain everything well. Thanks so much. ❤️
Great! Thank you so much! :)
Love this video and most of all love love Kelly's personality!!
Your videos are outstanding! Very articulate, knowledgeable and informative. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge and hard work💞
Loved this but your friends were adorable - loved Kelly! ♥ Elle
Yay! Thanks Elle!
Suggestion: Please teach how to camouflage deep hollow under eyes. I have a major dip under my eyes. Concealers take away the dark shadow but doesn't cure the dip. Putting powder under my eyes to hide it makes it look ashy, gray, dull and ruins the look. I have yet to find a youtube video that can show how to make them disappear
Yes...Yes...Yes PLEASE.
Filler?
Yes please help! I have dark and hollow deep set under eyes
Yes that would be a huge help to me!
Mtmacski M tip: use your regular concealer (assuming that it’s similar to your skin colour) and put it on like usual, and blend it out, then put a lighter concealer, but only on the actual indent. It makes it look more smooth, and the indent is less visible (but it doesn’t make them completely disappear, in some lightings, it will cast shadows which will make the indents visible)
Lisa!! I always learn something with your videos and this one is not the exception!! By far, this is the best video I've ever seen about foundation matching!!! Well done Lisa!!!! 👏👏👋👏👏
Thank you! Very helpful. I now am confident of my skin undertone. I especially am grateful for the pointers about the names of the shades.
All great matches! Your friends are so sweet and Kelly's reaction was great when she saw herself after.❤
Yay! Thank you so much Belinda!
The veins in my wrist are blue but I'm very much a warm. I've even had my colors professionally done. Like a blue red lipstick looks horrible on me but a tomato red is perfect.
Beautiful models!! Learned warm, cool & neutral undertones. Thank you!💟
Great info, and the visual demo helped so much! Love this kind of teaching video. Matching foundation colors and choosing complimentary color cosmetics does not come naturally to most of us. Thank you!💋
Kelly should be a model...she is GORGEOUS...a striking smile.
This is so helpful. Do you have any tips for picking the best lipstick color to match and complement your face makeup?
Hands down the best video I have watched to explain undertones and how to find your shade and I loved seeing how L'Oréal infallible foundation worked..... Thank you soooooo much for doing this!!!!
Love this video, was not sure about my undertone but I got it now!
Your friends are awesome by the way, it was very nice of them to help people like me figure out what foundation looks the best.
Thank you!❤️
Once again-you are the best-I sound like a broken record but you truly make videos that are not frequent on YT!!! You are almost at 100K subscribers---NO SURPRISE!!!!! xoxo
Awww thank you Jill!! :)
Thank you for these types of videos. I have learned something from each one. Also, do another video with Kelly. She is so much fun to watch!
Yay! Thank you Sue!
Went back to watch this older video. This was so informative! Love it
Lisa, THANK YOU for sharing another OUTSTANDING video/tutorial with us! This was the MOST well done video I've ever seen on this topic! I truly APPRECIATE you sharing your precious time, talent, knowledge, & skills with us all so we may learn! Hugs & Blessings 2U
Yes, love this kind of video and I loved that you took the time to bring your 4 friends on, they’re so lovely! 💜
Yay! Thank you so much Jess!
This was so helpful! I've always chosen cooler tones when I really need to opt for something more neutral in tone.
Great! Let me know if the neutrals work better! Thank you!
Awesome video! My first time watching a video of yours. I loved how thorough your explanations of all the shades and the fact that you used a more affordable drugstore brand of makeup was impressive. So, thank you!! 😍😎
I love how nice you are to your beautiful friends ! You made me smile ! Great video!
For anyone on their own shopping for foundation( due to COVID) a great one to try is L’Oréal True Match!! I wear it and I cannot find Any other foundation that matches my skin exactly like this one does!! They have so many shades you can’t go wrong!!❤️ L’Oréal!! I am a N3 which means I am neutral toned. They have cool and warm tones too!
Yaass!! I have been using foundation Maybelline 35 Nude Beige for years and powder L’Oréal True Match powder in W4 The last couple months I noticed it wasn’t looking good on my skin. Maybe due to suntan or my eye bags getting darker. Greenish/Blue color. I ran out and was going to buy again in a darker shade but out of stock. I took a chance on L’Oréal True Match foundation in shade N3 and also got the powder in N3 and omg!!! Perfect match!!! Im glad I switched!! I had the power W4 in my basket but noticed it was all cracked and it was the last one so that is why I also got powder in N3. Best choice!!!
When I was using the Nude Beige foundation from Maybelline and L’Oréal Powder in W4, you could see the dark greenish/blue bags under my eye and made them look worse like I was trying to cover up a black eye. Well let me tell you using N3 blends so perfectly and you cannot see my bags 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I agree. True Match is amazing. The best match I ever found for my skin is their cool 2.5, but it’s hard to find, unfortunately. Most stores do not have it. They only have 2 and 3.
Love this content. Kamal and Kelly have gorgeous skin! Your friends are beautiful and definitely helped me understand the differences in tone.
Kelly's energy isssssssa mood! Love it! Love her!
As helpful and easy to follow as I've come to expect and enjoy. You are so kind, so calm and almost nurturing to your audience, and I really appreciate it.
Yay! Thank you so much Kate! :)
I’m so glad you talked about Mac being opposite on how to pick undertone!! Why do they identify pinks as warm and yellow as cool? What’s the thought process on that? Great tutorial sweet Lisa!!😘😘😘
Agreed!
I had always believed it was NC = Needs Cool and NW = Needs Warm, which would explain the opposite tones. Too much to think about for makeup! ; )
I always thought it was not cool and not warm but you’re right that it doesn’t mean anything that makes sense.
Beauty and the Boat that's how I remember their system lol. I'm warn toned and I'm a NC, so "not cool" is how I remember 🤗
OMG exactly my thought. I went on and bought my first mac foundation, believing W was meant for my warm undertone, only to realize the opposite when I played with Sephora app recently. Explains why my foundation has always looked off urghh
This was a very cool video! Thank you to you and your beautiful friends for coming on and doing this with you!
I have not seen more detailed and so well explained video anywhere else. Thank you for such an informative video.
Very informative. I always have trouble buying foundation so I skip it all together and get tinted moisturizer... can you please make a video of your eye makeup with Kelly?
You have such beautiful friends with kind hearts! Thank you for this video...so much information.
Aww that is so sweet! Thank you!
This was very helpful! I do like the educational videos the very best. Thank you!
Lisa Id love to see you do more model demos like this!!! Super helpful and Fun!!!
This was so interesting. I honestly thought when you swatched, that the classic tan was too yellow for her, but it blended really well on her skin. Thanks for the tips!
So happy to hear that! Thanks Kathy! :)
yeah i still think it was a tiny bit too yellow... but doesnt look bad
