    Great content! I have a yellow/golden undertone. What bothers me most is when companies make formulations that are literally orange-but they call it golden. 😔

    Loved this! I appreciate you pointing out that matching the color of your face to the color of your chest should be an end goal rather than a starting point. I hadn't thought of that before.

    I love your content! One slight suggestion. I believe it important to always recommend light skincare, even if your oily. It will help to balance that ph.

    I have a neutral undertone with golden tones. I learned that from wearing Fenty Beauty which I’m 385 in. I also have dry skin now but used to have combo skin. I’m loving Fenty Beauty’s Hydrating Foundation! I love medium coverage but might try a full coverage too. I want a vegan drugstore foundation too, and I might be Maple in e.l.f. Cosmetics, since Brûlée was too dark for me.

      I already posted the concealer tutorial. When selecting the shade go 2-3 shades lighter than you skin and use the same undertone

    Hey Ale Jay I’m neutral with a yellow golden tone. I’m noticing a lot of drugstore foundation has red tones.. thankfully I’ve found a lot of foundation that works for me. Trial & Error
    Achne Free
    My t zone gets a little oily
    I love matte and oil free foundations
    I love my matte setting spray by NYX
    I prep my skin really well now ( that’s the key )
    Great informative video. ❤️❤️❤️
    I’m hoping to start investing in name brand foundation

    • @AleJay

    Please I have a oily skin and when I apply my makeup it pops out.
    So please kindly list the oil free Foundation, moisturizer, setting powder, primer and finishing spray I can use to prevent the oil from popping after applying my makeup.
