Green foundation? Foundation shades aren't limited to the usual ivory and pale yellow. Opting for a standout color can often create a better makeup effect. For instance, green and purple base shades are more effective than skin-tone foundations at concealing skin imperfections.
Green Foundation
Benefit: Creates a translucent, porcelain complexion. Mixing a small amount of green foundation into your regular foundation can make skin appear smoother, fairer, and more natural. It also helps neutralize redness on the face.
If your face is prone to sensitivity or redness, gently dusting green loose powder can add dimensional brightness while minimizing blemishes. Remember, use sparingly—too much will turn your face bright green.
Suitable for: Darker or reddish skin tones.
Best applied to: The most noticeable redness around the sides of the nose.
Yellow Foundation
Blending Effect: Minimizes contrast between bare skin and makeup. Its yellow undertone complements Asian skin tones, creating a seamless, natural finish that avoids the stark difference seen before and after makeup removal.
Suitable for: Darker Asian skin tones or those with a bronze complexion.
