Skin Tones:
There are many levels of depth (lightness or darkness) to the skin. The first level being the lightest (very pale or porcelain) and the highest level being the darkest (ebony).
When choosing a foundation, you must first match the depth and then the undertone. Many women will have warm undertones, with only a few having cool undertones. Warm (yellow) shades will complement almost any skin tone. Also, warm shades can actually help to counteract skin conditions, such as Rosacea. Pink shades should be reserved for those who have pink undertones in both the face "and" neck, which is uncommon. Cool (pink) shades on top of a pink face can appear "red", which can make the skin appear unnatural and older. Many times, those with cool undertones will have dark hair with pale skin and eyes.
On the other hand, woman with dark (ebony) skin should try to match their undertones as closely as possible. Gold-Orange tones work best for ebony skin tones.
What is the best way to find the right shade?
One of the best ways to find a color match, is to choose several shades, and then compare them side by side.
In natural lighting, try the following technique:
For those with light skin tones (Ivory - Beige), apply the shades side by side in a line, from just above your "jawline to your neck". Once the powders have mixed with the natural oils in your skin, you can then determine which shade is the closest match to your skin tone. Select the shade that is the closest match to your neck.
For those with darker skin tones (ebony and bronze), apply the shades "mid-face and extend down into the jaw area", following the same rules as above.
