Foundation guide
Why choosing the right foundation is essential for dark and mixed-race skin
Finding a foundation that perfectly matches your skin tone is key to a natural and radiant makeup look. Unfortunately, many brands don't offer enough shades suitable for dark or mixed-race skin, which can lead to a mask-like effect, harsh lines, or a dull complexion.
At FencyGrace, we understand this reality. Our Perfect Match range has been developed specifically to enhance all skin tones, particularly black and mixed-race skin, with vegan formulas that are kind to both skin and the environment.
Understanding your skin's undertones: warm, neutral, or cool
To choose the right shade, it's important to know your undertone, that is, the color hidden beneath the surface of your skin. There are three main types of undertones:
- Warm undertone: skin with golden, yellow, or peach undertones. Veins often appear greenish.
- Cool undertone: skin with pink, red, or bluish undertones. Veins appear blue or purple.
- Neutral undertone: a balanced mix of warm and cool tones.
How to find your perfect shade at FencyGrace
- Test the color on your jawline: apply a small amount of foundation to your jawline and observe if the color blends naturally with your skin.
- Compare to natural light: artificial light can distort the perception of colors.
- Use our Perfect Match guide: we offer a wide range of shades with suitable undertones to guarantee an ideal match.
