How to Select Your Perfect Foundation Color

Oh goodness! Let me help you with this! Don’t feel like you have to figure this out all by yourself Gorgeous!

When I use to work at the make up counter the most common returned item was by far foundation because they had the wrong color. Another challenge was brushes! They needed to HAVE the right tools, but also know HOW to use them. These were my favorite customers because I was able to help them immensely.

Or the gals who used their fingers. They were blown away once I taught them how to use a brush and how it looked on their face.

I recently discovered a new foundation that is a contouring foundation that takes minimal time, less $ from your beauty budget and is the most compact/travel friendly make up I’ve ever seen. I also love it because all you need is a few little tins that can fit your wallet if you want them to!

For me, as a momma, I often put my make up on the go somewhere in my day so this is super convenient. I keep 2 brushes in my diaper bag and have my full face done in a flash!

This is an example of one of the compacts you can choose from. And how about my favorite brushes to date ?!! I love the Detailed HAC brush (above) for contouring. Check them out here.

Another challenge I find when helping ladies is they don’t know how to contour and are afraid of it. I totally get it because honestly, it can be super challenging if you have to get a contouring kit as well as a foundation and other tools to help with it. It used to be an advanced skill until I discovered this 3D Foundation that has been a GAME CHANGER for me as well as many other ladies!

I recently did an in person color match with my friend Nikki and had an another “ahaaaa with this foundation.” I realized that one of the BEST things about it is how versatile it is with all ages and how it’s almost fool proof because it’s a cream and it blends super easy.

It gives a natural gorgeous glow that looks super glam!

The more I use it, the more it has my whole heart! Not just that, but YOU are in charge of the coverage. It’s very buildable and has great coverage. Or if you just want a little, it settles into the face naturally and buffs out flawlessly. It’s also great to let it sit and warm up to the skin for a min after you put the contour on to let it melt into your skin to make it easier to blend.

The first time I used it, it did take me a few weeks to get used to it because my skin was use to using a lot of dry, matte products and this is a cream so I was using way too much and I also was using the wrong color. Once I realized what color work best for my skin and how much to use, it looked and felt fabulous!

This was one of the first videos that drew me in to get more curious so I wanted to share it with you here.

If you want to design your own compact and put everything you need (including for the eyes) submit two photos to me here. One with make up so I can see how you like to wear your make up and one without any make up so I can match you accurately. Take your photos in natural light. Go to a window with natural lighting and stand back. Make sure there are no shadows on your face.

I will look at your skin texture as well as the coloring. We have different colors in our skin so I will choose two different colors which are called highlight colors (the foundation color). I will also help you find a contour color, lip/cheek color and an illuminator to give you that candlelit glow.

If you so desire, I will help you select eyeshadows to fit inside your compact as well.

Or maybe you are just an eyeshadow gal. I’ve got you covered there as well. Check out Vangela’s Eyeshadow School to learn how to duplicate the top 5 looks asked for at the makeup counter.
