Lol, the pink one was literally perfect for her and 100% matching her skin tone

Yeah it was matching her skin tone, not her undertone. Don't you understand how this all works lol our skin tones (surface tones) can change but our undertones don't so neutral is the best match because it matches her undertone perfectly.

Just the tone, not the undertone. In the hole face you would see

I thought it was the pink tone as well cause the foundation disappeared!!! The lighting they have also agreed and to think they use bright lights. I'm firm believer that pictures will be the best determinant
We need a David in every Sephora ☺️. I never get color matched correctly 😔
Wow. I learned a lot from an actual demo like this. I've been struggling for days
Each time I have been "color matched" at Sephora, I've come away with foundation that is WAY too warm for me.

I have done this too and they get my color match wrong 😢
Dang it, I really thought the cool one just melts into the skin, but when David started blending the neutral one, that’s when I saw the cool was ashy. Ughh so hard
Hope you could do a demo on Light Olive toned women as well

Hey there, search our channel for olive skin and medium skin tone videos, and we'll keep this in mind for future videos. We definitely see olive skin tone content as a popular request.
What about warm olive undertone? Neutrals look ashy and warms look orangish on us. We need more brands to incorporate Olive undertone foundations independently

I have the worse time finding a foundation for oily skin with tan skin olive undertone. I decided to buy color mixers in blue and yellow, a green color corrector and a light yellow corrector plus a white one. These I got from la girl for $4 to $12 la girl foundation color mixers they have 4. I'm still waiting to test out.

I thought I was going crazy. I got match at Sephora and got 24n and once I brought it home it looks like I have a blob of gray foundation all over my face 😢
I'm light neutral but I see slight greenish tinge on my neck which points to light olive. I've been looking for a correct foundation match for years, done all those tests. I've even gotten color matched at Sephora and when I got outside it was totally off. I'd still like to find the right shade but have pretty much given up.. lol
What's the best way to deal with foundations that tend to oxidize?
David, love you! I've learned so much from you!
This is great! Thank you for posting.
As always David is the best. Very informative and helpful. He explains make up so well. Thank you!
More undertones videos please! Great class🎉
Thanks David! I work at Sephora and I’m learning to color match and this was awesome. I learned a lot! Have a fabulous day!
Isn’t he lovely 😊 so detailed and gentle in his manner and easy to listen to . Thank you for this this 😇
You have taught me so much about foundation that i never knew about. I'm doing a makeover series and you're video came up while I was researching. Thank you so much. I now have more research to do haha. Many thanks 😊
Thanks to videos like this, I now know how to find a good shade match for me. Please do one for concealers, bronzers, blushes, etc.
I liked the pink one 💜
Very helpful. Thank you!
i can't decide which video is more life changing, how to apply concealer/corrector/brightener or this one! since watching your video on how to apply corrector, concealer and brightener my eyes look perfect! i have even received compliments not on how good my make-up looks (because i am a minimalist) but how "refreshed" i look, as if i have been on vacation !! for years people have said "look at your veins to see your undertone" and that did nothing for me. why? because i am a neutral! now i know!!! thank you so much for your incredibly entertaining and informative videos!
So many people needed this!! Foundation can be very close but no cigar, that undertone makes all the difference 👏🏾

Thank you for sharing the basic and critical tips to choose the right shade of foundation, Dave! I still get confused and am not quite sure of my own skin tone. (I guess it is somewhat warm, but slightly cool....🧐🙄) I look ok with gold, but prefer white gold or silver jewelry, too. 😁😁 BTW, this model has such beautiful skin and a lovely face!!!😍

Sounds like you might be in the neutral undertone category. Feel free to stop by a store to get shade matched.

This was a very helpful video. It is still difficult for me to determine if my foundation choice looks ashy or has an orange cast. Please continue to make more videos on selecting foundations.
I love it your videos
So you basically go with what matches the neck and chest because for my I wear a lot of t-shirts and pants so my arms are dark and my legs are not so I'm just making sure because I really have a hard time
I want more videos on undertones. Also make to matching with clothing and colors
I m a warm undertone with dry skin ....i use Mac sculpt foundation in shade NC 44....can u suggest my shade in sephora best skin foundation....nearest shade ....though i will do a patch test at store ....thanks ....this was a very well explained video
Noted!
I still can't figure out my undertone 30 years later, and I'm always buying shades that are either too dark or too light. It's so frustrating. Back in the day I used to wear extremely warm foundations, but nowadays they make my skin look too yellow. Then for a while I thought I was olive, but now olive foundations are way too gold/green on me. When I decided to give neutral tones a try, my skin would always look grey and dull. Nowadays I have to apply a shade adjuster (blue, yellow, red, white and black) to every foundation I buy to get the shade just right.
More videos on undertones, please!!!

Gloria We'll keep that in mind.
I was at one of the shop but still find it difficult in getting a shade match for my brown skin
Love the video.. I personally have such a hard time with foundation. I have mutchure skin and as I get older it seem to change. I'm I crazy to think this? The summer I get super tanned so I feel like I need different foundation for different seasons. Is this possible?
I only figured out recently that I’m a pink cool undertone. Now that I know, it makes finding the right foundation shade somewhat easier. Especially when the brand has info about their foundations undertones… in particular Estée Lauder. For years I wondered what the numbers and letter meant next to their shade names lol.
@awesomesauce754
Жыл бұрын
In Estée Lauder, the first number is the shade intensity, light med dark… the letter is undertone. The next number is like a volum switch turning up and down the undertone. So you are warm, but are you slightly, like a 1, or very warm like a 5.

Pink undertones usually get categorized also as "cool" for a lot of foundation shades, so some brands will have W, N, or C next to a shade number to denote undertone.
Lol, Im searching for the latest methods for identifying your undertone and I stumbled here, I realized that undertone's essence is very varying, from clothing to makeup etc. I was just trying to find the right colors for me but this kept my attention span, quick question what if I see blue-green almost turquoise, blue and purple veins what does that mean, I definitely can't wear some colors.
But what online how many times I bought and the product was dark for my skin or light
Excellent

Who has tried this Sephora foundation? And did you like it or no?
Can any body tell me best skin ever P30 by sephora best for which skin
I have a high pink OVERTONE to my skin ( my capillaries are very close to the surface if my skin all over my body) but pink foundation looks off as well as warm looking too orange. Neutral is ashy. 😢
I WISH YOU WERE AT EVERY SEPHORA! Or at least you were the one to train ALL Sephora employees in regards to color matching. I’m 32 years old, have been “color matched” numerous times at Sephora, handful of times at Ulta, and a few times inside of Nordstrom. Every single time I am told something different. I spend THOUSANDS every year at Sephora, Ulta and Nordstrom beauty counters and I STILL HAVE NEVER FOUND ANYTHING TO MATCH ME! Sooooooo much money down the drain😫😫😩 To anyone reading this- Please comment if you have any suggestions on what to do about this! Should I possibly go to a derm and get a skin analysis that way? ❤

I feel you! I have been to Sephora, and color matched thousands of times, and still have the wrong foundation shade. I need help as well
I make my own (or have been trying to for YEARS) foundation and I will tell you, as a home formulator, this is the hardest thing I have ever attempted to do. Too red, too yellow, too brown, too dark, too light, too cakey, too translucent. I just cannot get it right!

Need a lemon or keylime undertones. Cause I’m olive but even olive shades don’t match me. Be to grey. The warmer shades be to peachy or orange. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars trying different makeup brands and shades. 😩🌸🤦🏻♀️😅

Riham ELGAMAL We've got you: kzread.info/dash/bejne/X6OZ0ZWxd7y-gJM.html
Why don't companies have samples of makeup, from foundation to lipstick. At least then you can try different colours until you find the right one and not waste money paying for full sizes.
Well I prefer going 1 shade lighter coz if you take your undertone matched you'll end up looking darker than your actual color
Papi you can try with Latin women?
Can someone please confirm me my undertone, I think I'm warm :) I don't have a Sephora anywhere near me.
would be more helpful if he did full face of each shade- instead of saying this would be too ashy, this would be too pink... show us each result so we can see what you mean
The model is just as confused as I am. 😂😅😂
Omg why does make up seem so difficult 😮😅
Sephora: making blackface overly complicated since 1994
I tgought cool undertones have blue😒🤷♀️
