Which Foundation will match my skin?

In Modest Makeup 0 comment
Salam aleikum everyone! 
 
In this blog, I want to try my best to help you find a foundation match from my line, which I know is hard since we are doing this online,
but, have no fear, because it is not impossible!
Whenever I have spoken with a customer that wants to find their match, we usually do a few things like: 
* Send a picture
*Talk about your skin color
* Tell me which celebrity you look like
 
And as fun as all of those are, I find that the best way to find a match is by comparing which foundations from different brands you have worn and match it against mine. And since I have had quite a few of these conversations by now, I have been able to make a list of some of these matches so you can make a more informed decision and find your perfect foundation, and the best thing is that once you find a match somewhere (foundation, concealer, Mineral skin tint) then we can easily deduct any other product you might need in the future, so this, in sha Allah is a list you might only have to reference once.
 
But first let's understand 2 things:
 
Shade range and Undertone
 halal foundation match wudhu friendly
 Shade range is how fair/light/medium/tan/dark your skin is, and then there is the undertone, meaning does your skin have a more yellow tint to it (warm), or is your undertone cool or neutral? 
I will try to break down the foundations so you have a better idea of the shade range and undertone:
