How to test foundation colour

As FM Group introduces its cosmetics range

If in the past, you had to apply Foundation on the back of the hand before selecting the right colour to buy, then you’ve been going about it the wrong way. The back of the hand does not have the same complexion as the face or the neck. So to help your customers to select the right shade for their skin colour, all you have to do are:

1. Look at the customer’s face; is she light skinned or dark complexioned? Many African women fall within different foundation shades so determine her complexion.

2. Select three shades that look a match for the skin and apply them with foundation sponge on the cheek and close to the neck. The reason for applying the foundation colours on the cheek is so you can select a shade that is uniform with the cheek and the neck.

3. Watch and see that one will disappear into the skin. The one which does this is the right shade for the customer. The right shade looks like a second skin and easy to pick out among the three tested.

4. If you want to add value to your services, you might as well learn how to apply makeup properly. Below are some useful tips.

4, Remember to tender to the eyebrows – if you follow the natural arch, you will be able fill them up with eyebrow liners. Please, do not scrape off your eyebrows.
