Foundation Too Yellow? Overcome with Blue Makeup

Dream - Foundations sold in the market mostly have warm or yellow undertones to match the skin tone of local women.

However, there are also many local women with cool or bluish undertones. As a result, choosing foundation is not always easy, but Sahabat Dream can overcome this by adding other makeup products.

Here's an easy way to change the undertone of warm base makeup to cool, according to Makeup Artist (MUA) @ymliamakeupartist.

Step 1

Prepare the base makeup you want to use and blue-colored makeup products. You can use cream eyeshadow, color corrector, or lipstick.

Apply the base makeup to the entire face with a brush, then add a little blue color in some areas.

Step 2

Blend the blue eyeshadow, color corrector, or lipstick with a brush all over the face until the undertone changes and the base makeup looks more natural.

Sahabat Dream can mix the eyeshadow, color corrector, or lipstick with concealer or foundation first if they want the color to be easier to blend before applying it to the face.

Continue the makeup process by using contour, blush, and highlighter to perfect the base makeup after the undertone matches the skin color.

Setting Powder Brush: This brush has a round tip and can be used to blend powder all over the face gently.

Face Contour Brush: A brush with a round and wider tip on the sides can be used to apply contour or bronzer under the cheekbones and other areas of the face for a more natural result.

Angled Cheek Brush: As the name suggests, the tip of this brush is angled to apply blush or highlighter more neatly.

Brighten & Bake Brush: Use this flat brush to apply powder when doing the baking technique under the eyes, along the nose bone, and on the lower cheeks.

Eye & Nose Contour Brush: This brush has a similar shape to the brighten & bake brush, but it is smaller in size, so it can be used on the eyelids and nose to apply contour.

All Over Face Precision: This brush has a slimmer size and is similar to the face contour brush. You can use it to blend blush, contour, or highlighter for a softer and more natural color.
