Choosing The Best Makeup For Your Skin Tone

Having flawless makeup is as simple as applying the correct shade of foundation; however, choosing one that matches your skin tone isn’t as simple as it sounds.

In a quest to find out how it is done, EOA Daily invited Zandi Khumalo, a makeup expert from Black/Opal to help some of our team members learn how to go about choosing the right foundation shade. We learnt that getting the right colour isn’t just about going into a beauty store and picking the one that you think best matches your skin. There are a few basics you need to take into account such as the following three steps:

Knowing your skin type to help you find the right formula.

Choosing the foundation. You will need help from the makeup experts at the store and then test it before you purchase the product.

Learn how to apply makeup like a pro. If you feel you have found the perfect shade, ask for some lessons on how to apply it. Some beauty brands will charge you a certain fee as it is regarded as a tutorial.

We asked Zandi if there is a difference between winter and summer foundation and she says that the same rule still applies: choose the colour that matches your skin. She also advised each of us how to get a healthy looking skin and provided personalised makeup tips.
