HOW TO MATCH YOUR FOUNDATION SHADE | NINA UBHI

[@naboegrainger1132]

I'm sure I'm not the only one whose bought several wrong shades of foundation over time. I've resorted to mixing different shades together and have managed to find my perfect shade in this way.

[@heidiray2408]

You are my absolute favorite make up artist! I am legally blind and it has been a struggle doing my make up. I found your channel and it is really helped me! Thank you so much for all the beauty advice you give!

[@NinaUbhi1]

I’m so glad my videos are helping you! Thank you so much for your support! ❤️

[@karadeprano9055]

I think so many people have issues trying to find their right shade! The media makes it more complicated than it really is. When I do makeup on my clients I have to have a big range of shades if it’s my first time with that person. With my regulars I know right away! You did a great job explaining this. I love picking other makeup artist’s brains about certain makeup items! ❤️

[@NinaUbhi1]

Totally agree!

[@jocraig]

I totally agree! I just received my foundation order from Dose of Colors and they sent samples of every one of their shades for free with my order. (Complimentary) You make a great point! Thanks for sharing this video 💕

[@rositabekman3363]

Wowzer ! This has always been a hot topic for me trying to find or match a foundation closest to my skin tone great job on how to dwindle the choices down !! I always get so excited after seeing your videos it makes me feel like I’m in my 30’s again !! Thanks 🙏🏼 Nina ❤

[@donnaguin7685]

BEST ever tutorial on matching that I've ever seen! Thank you! I am a young 57 yr old who's worn makeup all my life. After surviving cancer in 2020, i have had the hardest time matching this "indoor skin" I have now. The "W"s i used no longer work and I have a whole drawer full of "N"s and "C"s I cannot use. I know this will help. I have found one "golden" that is perfect, so as the warmer weather comes and I am not confined this year, I know to just go from there.

[@NinaUbhi1]

Thank you so much and I'm so happy that my videos are helping you in some way. Try out the EX1 foundation's they are also very good

[@Pinkzombie67]

Very thorough and lovely explanation... however, I found this simple explanation useful as well.. "as per beauty experts, your foundation must be one or two shades lighter than your skin tone. This is because when you use bronzer or contour then the foundation will blend it all together and give the perfect look to your face." This may not work for everyone, but I found it might be of help. It certainly makes sense!

[@stefaniemorgan8231]

This is so very thorough! Thank you for taking the confusion out of this. You are so generous to share all of your wisdom 💖

[@NinaUbhi1]

Glad it was helpful!

[@marmite999]

@@NinaUbhi1 I know I’m late to the party - but do you find that undertone interpretation differs across brands ? For example, I’m neutral, and in some brands that’s literally ashy beige and done are yellow etc 😢😢😢🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ Thank you xxx

[@theresas2520]

Now that people buy makeup online more I am hoping that more brands will start offering samples. That would be so helpful! I know that I am neutral and I'm between fair and light. But even then some brands will be too yellow so I make sure I have adjusting drops which are super helpful! Also I think its good to be able to adjust your shade. Physicians Formula has a set that comes in white and brown and I use them all the time since my shade can also change depending on the season.

[@lindiwehlatshwayo7584]

Oh yay!!!! I have more than 3 bottles of foundation that I can't use because the shade/undertone is wrong. I'm glad that I'm going to get help 💃

Hi Nina, what would be the best remedy if you use a foundation a bit lighter than your shade. Is a darker setting powder can do the tricks? You are loved🧡🧡🧡

[@NinaUbhi1]

[@victoriaclark1020]

This is such a useful video thank you! That’s funny I’ve wished for so long that make up companies would sell sample packs of foundations so you can test a bunch and find your perfect shade - it would totally make me more likely to buy their brand in the first place! Planning to head to SpaceNK tomorrow to try the Charlotte Tilbury ones and see if I can find a shade for me. I have a question: do you use a different shade in the summer than winter? My face is more tanned at the moment so my current shade makes me look a bit ghostly 👻 so I’ve just been skipping it this week. Miss the smooth finish of foundation though 😬

Ok so this question is only going to be relevant to maybe 1% of your subscribers, but I was wondering how you lift and brighten skin going through chemo? My skin now has grey undertones with pink splotches, and is also very dry. Struggling to give it a lift! Grateful for any advice ❤️

[@NinaUbhi1]

I’ll be covering this topic soon and sending lots of love and light ❤️❤️

[@Thunderbird68-i2f]

Love the detail of your presentations! Not just a great make-up artist but an excellent teacher! Unlike today, I recall how decades ago it was virtually impossible to find a foundation suitable for skin with light olive complexion or undertone since most were variations of unsuitable pinks. In those days, the swatch variations you show were unavailable or non-existent. Fast foreward many years later; I'm glad to see that foundation has become inclusive and has come a long way.

It was a gift so I have no idea where it’s from :(

[@vivianduane5167]

Thank you

[@dizzinese]

Wow this is hard. As you went through the first step and you saw orange, I saw yellow. And the one on the middle, the 3rd from the top, you said was also orange from Charlotte Tilbury, started to disappear on your skin compared to all of them. So I’m wondering if it’s like a computer and the tv color is off because I typically have a good eye for color as I was a hairdresser and nail tech and I make cards which deals with color. The 2 you got down to look so yellow compared to your skin on my tv. When you put it on it looks perfect. I noticed you’re using a new brush too instead of the beauty blender.

[@NinaUbhi1]

Yes I noticed the color looked different on tv! But in the mirror the mentioned shades looked orange

[@dizzinese]

@@NinaUbhi1 good to know! I thought it was my tv or me! GlD to know it isn’t me or I’d never get a shade to match! LOL thanks Mina! Great job you’re doing. You should be pleased with your hard work!

Amazing! ❤

[@crittersintheyard3993]

I'm 55 and have always been told to match foundation to the back of your hand, but most make up tik tokkers don't do that, and the lady at the makeup counter at a local store thought that was strange to match it to your hand. So I was beginning to doubt what I had always known, then I come across this video and you're saying what I have always believed. The samples on your hand, from lightest to darkest, my humble opinion, #3 the middle one looks closest to your complexion. 1 and 2 are way too light but that's what I see on a lot of videos.... that they use a colour that looks 5 shades too light for them. I have always thought that foundation is supposed to match your skin colour, and as you rub it in, it essentially "disappears" and makes your skin tone look even and uniform. I have never heard that foundation should match your neck colour but that's what a lot of people seem to say, but I think it makes their face look all washed out and ghostly. The colour you picked made more sense when it was narrowed down to 2. The one you picked "disappeared" into your skin and just evened everything out without looking like you're wearing anything. That's how I was taught to do foundation many many years ago

[@rashedahh6641]

I need a new match to spicy brown by Maybelline that still affordable it you can help I want to find a different brand

[@salmakhan6498]

Does the foundation has to match skin tone or 1 shade lighter and concealer should it be lighter or darker or same color

My dear what is the colour of your dye it is so how should i say complimentary

[@dsham5971]

It’s not that easy when people Of color are stuck with Orange or a deeper orange. 😡 I’m a neutral/ pink so I have to waste money being a chemist trying to get the right shade. The only brand that matched me EXACTLY was Too Face Peach foundation Collection and Of course it’s been discontinued. 😡 I had to buy the last three I could find.

[@rashedahh6641]

Yes😫you have to mix them however I love Maybelline they have more colors and the show deep warm and cool with the foundation colors that helps a lot or you can find a foundation closer to your color and use a better powdered foundation to set the foundation.

[@rashedahh6641]

Sometimes you can't tell if it close to your skin tone if you do a full face beat like contouring and highlighting and blending perfectly

[@rosamar8132]

I thought I was the only one with that issue
