There are absolutely tons of foundations out there and knowing which colour you should be using is difficult. Many girls will use the wrong foundation colour for years !!!

What Season Are You ?

The first step to selecting your foundation is to honestly determine your complexion. A good way to do this is to use the seasons method.

1. Look at the inside of your arm in natural daylight.

2. Next decide which season most accurately describes your complexion from the list below.

Winter (Cool Tone)

You are a winter tone if the inside of your arm has blue or pink/rosy undertones:

* Skin can be pale and porcelain white, yellowish-olive, or dark.

* Has a lot of depth to their coloring and a lot of contrast between their hair color, eye color and skin tone.

* Generally brunettes with deeply colored eyes.

* Many are Asians and African Americans and Natural white-blondes.

Summer (Cool Tone)

You are a summer tone if the inside of your arm has blue or pink undertones with very pale and pink skin:

* Generally occurs in natural blondes, and pale-skinned brunettes with pale eyes.

Autumn (Warm Tone)

You are a autumn tone if the inside of your arm has golden undertones like a pale peach, golden beige or golden brown:

* Generally redheads and brunettes with golden brown eyes and golden blonde and black hair coloring.

* Tend to have dark eyes

Spring (Warm Tone)

You are a spring tone if the inside of your arm has subtle golden undertones, and are usually creamy white or peach with extremely light, ivory skin color:

* Generally natural golden blondes, auburn, or strawberry blond redheads
