Choosing the right cosmetic product, such as lipstick or foundation, can be a challenge in itself. Beauty content creator Farra Jaidi shares useful tips so that we can choose products that match our skin skin skin skin and undertones.

Here are some important guidelines that need to be considered, as revealed by Farra Jaidi when met at the inauguration of the new concept and appearance of the Guardian outlet at Grand Indonesia Mall, Jakarta on Wednesday, January 22, 2025.

Farra Jaidi suggests choosing lipstick with a color that suits our skinnation. For example, for nude colors, choose colors such as the city, cinnamon, or nude pepach.

As for red lipstick, Farra recommends colors like burgundy or maroon to provide a more elegant and blended look with the skin.

"For example, your nude lipstick, you use the city, Chinese colors, nudepeace. If it's red, you try burgundy, or maroon," said Farra Jaidi

Farra explained it is important to differentiate between skintone and undertone. Skintone refers to the skin color that appears from the outside, while undertone is the basic skin color that can be seen from the veins on the wrist. Skintone is divided into three categories, namely light (bright), medium (medium), and natural. For cooked palm skin, usually suitable skintone is a medium category.

Meanwhile, the undertone can be a warm (warm), cool (cold), or neutral (neutral). Understanding the undertone will help us choose cosmetic colors that not only match the skin, but also with the natural colors of our bodies.

"Well, to choose a skin tone, there are two skin tones, there are skintone and undertone. If you see skin skin from the outside, if it's undertone, it's like your skin color, which you can see from the veins," he said.

Farra also provides advice on how to test cosmetic products, especially foundation. In addition to using a cheek or neck, it's a good idea to try a product in the jaw area. This is because jaw is a transition area between face and neck, thus providing a more accurate picture of how the product will blend with the skin.

"Besides you already know what your skintone and undertone are, you usually can try the product. But on average you are usually on your cheeks, neck, but try to use it in the jaw. Because this is a transition between your face and neck," said Farra Jaidi.

Finally, Farra reminds us to choose something that matches our overall body color. This will ensure that the color gradation on the face and neck remains integrated and looks natural. Avoid choosing a color that is too bright compared to the skin color of the body so that the final result is more balanced and not in contrast.

By understanding skintone, undertone, and how to properly test products, we can get more perfect and natural makeup results. So, before choosing a product, make sure you know your skin characteristics first.

"It's better to choose a circle according to the body color. So the gradation is more integrated. So the color is not brighter. Now usually people's faces are brighter than the neck." said Farra Jaidi.
