According to beauty specialists, everyone should use a tad lighter foundation than their skin tone. The ideal situation is applying a foundation one tone lighter than your skin. That advice is vital because we mix the foundation's shade with other makeup products, such as contouring items, concealers, powder, and bronzers. Picking a lighter foundation is essential when it comes to self-adjusting makeup products because their color changes (usually gets a little darker) when blended on your face.
