The right foundation looks like your skin, only smoother. Here is how to find it without buying three wrong bottles first.
1. Find your undertone
Look at the veins on your wrist in daylight: green means warm, blue or purple means cool, a mix means neutral. Most South Asian skin tones are warm or neutral.
2. Match the depth on your jawline
Swatch two or three shades on the jawline — not the hand — and check them in daylight. The one that disappears is your match.
3. Choose the finish
- Oily skin: satin or matte, oil-free.
- Dry skin: dewy, with hyaluronic acid.
- In between: a buildable skin tint.
