Color Me Beautiful ...and SMART!

By CountryDutchess.com

Okay, let's see a show of hands : How many have squeeled with ecstatic delight on finding the PERFECT shade of make-up....only to come home and discover it makes us look like Morticia from the Adam's Family ( and no, you didn't really want to !) ? Uh huh...we thought so. That's because EVERYBODY makes this mistake!

The reason? Our make up experts tell us we are all caught up in the "pink vs yellow" corundum - a debate that, at least according to our favorite make up guru Daniel Chinchilla,
shouldn't really exist!

" Your foundation should always be yellow based. It is what looks most natural on the skin. Nobody is PINK, and when you wear a pink-based foundation, it looks too rosy or it makes you look sick instead of giving you a healthy ," says Chinchilla, creator of Beauty Perfecting Mineral Fluid one of our super fav foundations.

While you may have some pink in your skin, says Chinchilla, your undertones will always be yellow.

What you should do, however, is look for the shade of yellow that works best on you.

"Some yellows are are a little warmer than others so they are right for those people that have some pink in their skin, " says Chinchilla.

To find the best match for your complexion, Chinchilla says always look to try foundation on your jawline and not the back of your hand!

"
It is best to choose a color that matches your jawline perfectly, or is a tad bit darker if you are planning on getting some sun," he says.

BEST COLOR TIP: DO NOT rely on bronzer to darken up your foundation, it will make your makeup look “muddy”.

Put The Pow in Powder!

When it comes to buying powder, however, the color rules change just a bit. If you have combination/oily skin go for a powder that is slightly lighter than your complexion. Why?

"As the powder absorbs your oils throughout the day, it will get darker and you will have your perfect match, " says Chinchilla.

If it's powder over foundation, choose a translucent shade with no color so you don't change the shading of your foundation. Remember, whatever color you put on your face last will be the color that people see first.

BEST TOUCH UP TIP: " Never use a foundation powder (dual powder) to touch up your makeup throughout the day. They are intended to be put on once and re-applying will result in your makeup looking dry and heavy," says Chinchilla. Instead, try a light dusting of translucent powder to refresh your look.

Finding The Perfect Concealer: Look For This:

When choosing a concealer, Chinchilla says look for peach tones to cancel out darkness under the eyes. Pink and yellow concealers can make the skin look ashy and unnatural. If you're looking to hide a few of those smile lines around your eyes, try liquid concealer instead of cream. Chinchilla says they blend better, look more natural, and are less likely to go into the fine lines and make them more prominent!
