Foundation Undertones

In order to properly color match glominerals foundation, a basic understanding of the undertone of an individual’s skin is necessary. Use the chart below to help decide which color family to use in a foundation application.

Golden -Yellow or olive undertone golden fair- golden light- golden medium-golden dark

Beige-pink or peach undertone beige light-beige medium-beige dark

Natural-peach or yellow undertone natural fair-natural light-natural medium-natural dark

Honey-yellow or olive undertone honey light-honey medium-honey dark

Tawny-deep peach undertone tawny light - tawny medium

Chestnut-deep yellow or olive undertone chestnut light – chestnut medium

When surface tones are excessive, incorporate the surface tone into the foundation selection:

Yellow / Olive undertones with red surface tones = peach foundation natural or beige
Yellow / Olive undertone with red and golden surface tones = golden / yellow foundation golden or honey collection
Yellow / Olive undertone with red and golden surface tones = warm peach foundation natural or golden collection

Hyperpigmentation and Foundation Selection:

1. Select a slightly darker foundation color if difference between skin tone and hyperpigmentation is minimal.

2. If difference is severe, choose a foundation color that is in-between the hyperpigmentation color and skin color.

3. If hyperpigmentation appears in isolated areas only, conceal with a color that most closely matches skin tone.

4. Bronzers can help balance color tones.

Special Tips: A fair complexion with both dark eyes and hair OR a dark complexion with dark eyes needs intense color application to add contrast. In this situation, colors deeper than the eye color are preferred.

For dark brown eyes (solid color with no flecks), choose colors to complement the individual’s skin color. In this instance, color theory does not apply to the eye color.
