Have you tried many shades in the past but haven\u2019t found your perfect match yet? Worry not! Read this little guide and our suggestions for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The first step is finding your skin tone and undertone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, what are they?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skin tone is the surface color of your skin, while your undertone is the permanent, subtle hue beneath the surface. Skin tone typically falls into fair, light, medium, or deep categories. Look at your clean, makeup\u2011free face in natural light usually to see where you land. Meanwhile, undertones are divided in cool, warm and neutral and you can use these 2 methods to find out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Look at your veins: Check the inside of your wrist, blue or purple veins suggest cool, green veins mean warm, and a mix often reads neutral.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try the paper test: Hold a white sheet near your face; a pink or blue cast signals cool, a yellow cast signals warm, and a grayish cast can indicate neutral undertones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After understanding your skin tones and undertones, make your way to your preferred shop to try out the foundation shades! Make sure to test it on your jawline so you can see the perfect shade for your face and neck. If your face and body have different tones, test on the center of your upper chest. Also, test the shades in different lightning and consider the season. For example, if it is summer, you may want to buy a shade one to two steps deeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you would like to try on shades without having to visit a counter, then you can try a virtual foundation finder or take a foundation shade quiz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking into account your skin type is also crucial, as you don\u2019t want your foundation to clog your pores or dehydrate your face. Take a look at our top recommendations and why not, try them out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For oily skin:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"215\" height=\"215\" src=\"https:\/\/www.selenisco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/blog-12-prod1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.selenisco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/blog-12-prod1.jpg 215w, https:\/\/www.selenisco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/blog-12-prod1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.selenisco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/blog-12-prod1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.selenisco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/blog-12-prod1-80x80.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 215px) 100vw, 215px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Milani Conceal + Perfect Blur Out Skin Tint Stick<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4xfCeTQ\">SHOP NOW<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Under $20, this foundation offers a natural-looking coverage that wears comfortably and maintains a balanced finish throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For dry skin:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"212\" height=\"212\" src=\"https:\/\/www.selenisco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/blog-12-prod2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.selenisco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/blog-12-prod2.jpg 212w, https:\/\/www.selenisco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/blog-12-prod2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.selenisco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/blog-12-prod2-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.selenisco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/blog-12-prod2-80x80.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Make Up For Ever Super Boost Lightweight Moisturizing Skin Tint<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4bX7iiN\">SHOP NOW<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A guaranteed dewy, radiant base that stays put.
