We so often say that when it comes to makeup anything goes. We can have fun. Play to our heart's content. Do our own thing. Yet within this lawless makeup land there are some 'rules' that are repeated over and over to the point they feel like actual law. Rules like...
'When doing your eye makeup, crease work should be done using matte shadows.'
'When blushing or bronzing be sure to blend!'
And of course...
'When finding a foundation you should match the shade to the colour of your jaw line.'
EXCEPT... Beauty YouTuber Chloe Morello just broke that last rule in one of her more recent videos... and her justification for it has us nodding our heads like a dashboard doggy.
Her foundation rule?
'Never match to your face if your body and your face are different colours.'
She pointed out that her body - especially when self-tanned - is considerably darker than her face and that it just doesn't look right to apply foundation that leaves your face shades lighter than your body.
So what does Chloe do to ensure an even match?
Quite simply, she uses the colour of her shoulder or the back of her hand to find a foundation shade that will look right on her face and give her a uniform look for her skin.
As the down with the lastest lingo kids would say - We are shooketh. And we absolutely understand the logic in it.
I'm tanned but not evenly, so I have a dilemma where I don't know what I'm supposed to match because my face, neck chest, shoulders and arms are all slightly different shades...
