My friend and YL business partner, Vanessa Romero shared with me some great info on how to select the right shade of the new YL mineral makeup. Even with this extensive palette, after experiencing this makeup first hand, I recommend getting two different shades that are close to your skin tone so you have the option of mixing as needed or applying to different areas of the face to create an even and flawless finish. It is just so exciting to have a makeup line that is completely SAFE and natural. Ladies, you do not need to compromise! Without further ado, here is Vanessa's advice: HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT SAVVY MINERALS FOUNDATION FOR YOUR SKIN TONE...

I've been wearing mineral foundation for years. It is very forgiving. You can lighten or darken by layering the product on. And it doesn't get "cakey" or heavy. I have three different shades and use them year round. Lighter in the winter months and darker in the spring and summer months. Here are some tips for selecting the right foundation color for YOU... 1. Check Your Veins Push your sleeves up and look at the veins on the inside of your wrist. Are they blue or green? If they look more blue, you likely have cool undertones. If the veins look greenish, you’re warm. 2. The Jewelry Trick Think about whether you look better in silver or gold jewelry Typically, girls with cool undertones look better in silver and platinum metals, and warm-toned women look better in gold. 3. The Neutral Test Think about what neutral shades flatter you best. Does your skin, eyes, and face look better in bright white and black hues, or ivory, off-whites, and brown/tan shades? The former means you’re probably cool-toned, and the latter, warm. 4. Eye and Hair Color Your natural eye and hair colors can help figure out your coloring. Customarily, cool people have eyes that are blue, gray, or green and have blond, brown, or black hair with blue, silver, violet and ash undertones. Conversely, warm-toned women usually have brown, amber, or hazel eyes with strawberry blond, red, brown, or black hair. Their hair tends to have gold, red, orange, or yellow undertones. 5. The Sun’s Effects When you’re out in the sun, does your skin turn a golden-brown, or does it burn and turn pink first? If you fit into the former category, you’re warm-toned, while cool tones tend to burn.
