How to choose mineral powder

Makeup artists distinguish between two basic skin tones: warm and cold, and there are a few more obvious combinations of these basic tones. Peach skin tones come from an equal mix of fairly vibrant shades of pink and gold. Olive skin arises when tones of gray-green are added to pink-peach tones. When none of the colors outweighs, then we can say that this is skin of a neutral tone. For further details, go here: best colors for neutral skin tones

Below are some simple steps to help you determine your skin tone.

1. Vein test.

In natural light, look at the inside of your wrist, if your veins are slightly greenish, this indicates the presence of yellow, warm tones in your skin, and therefore you have a warm or peachy skin tone! Veins that look bluish or purple indicate a cold skin tone. If you can't tell what color your veins are on your wrist, then your skin is neutral. Olive tones may also work for you.

2.Test - Ponytail.

Again, in natural light, remove all hair back from the face in a ponytail, thoroughly cleanse the face. Now, either wrap a white cloth around your neck and shoulders, or bring a thick white sheet of paper to your forehead or chin. Take a close look, or even better, call your husband or girlfriend to help you, and determine which shade of color prevails in your skin in comparison with white. If it is yellow, then you have a warm skin tone. If the shade is bluish - cold skin tone. If, in addition to the clearly yellow, greenish shades also appear, then you should try olive mineral powders.

3. Silver / gold test.

What suits you best out of jewelry? White metals like silver or platinum, or you are a fan of yellow gold. Apply a sheet of gold foil to your face, as in the previous test. Does your complexion look healthy or has an ashy complexion? Now apply silver foil, which shade prevails in your face, yellow or blue?

If, after completing all of the above tests, you still cannot determine your skin tone, you most likely have a neutral skin tone.

Congratulations! This is the most comfortable skin tone! Powder manufacturers make the largest number of shades for him, the easiest way is for you to choose a powder! Almost all shades from warm to cold can suit you.

Determining the color gradation from light to dark in your skin is usually much easier. Moreover, it can change, with tanning, for example. But the good thing about mineral makeup is that you can experiment with it. If you bought yourself too light powder, just add a little bronzer to it when using - and that's it! If you bought a powder a little darker than you would like, you can dilute it with a small amount or the lightest foundation or white eyeshadow, and you will also achieve the desired effect.
