IS THE VIRAL SHEGLAM FOUNDATION INCLUSIVE?!

[poxidog]

I think the problem is your a warm tone and the foundations a cool tone. Definitely something to feedback because it might not be something they've considered when trying to just make it darker, that there's different tones to consider within that depth of colour

[HeyItsBatouli]

Ain’t no way they definitely did not test that foundation it’s literally looks like face paint and it looks like what you got is not the same thing as a model

You have pink/red undertones. The most common for women is green or gold. These nations also coincidentally have the darkest skin on average.

It’s not that they’re not being tested, it’s that everyone has different skin. For your tones try to avoid the words “deep”, “warm” and “bronze”

Honestly your skin is beautiful and you don't even need foundation.

Me as an artist that knows about color theory and that your own skin undertones play a huge part in how the foundation appears! This foundations seems to be for people with more yellow undertoned dark skin, meanwhile you have more of a red. The foundation looks greenish because of the contrast of your own natural undertones. Everyone has different undertones. My older sister has yellow undertones while I have more pink/red undertones. Because of this her skin looks more “dead” sometimes especially in her feet. For a dark skinned beauty that doesn’t have the same undertones as you, it will be more of a match. Unfortunately not a match for you, doesn’t mean it wont match for others! Does this company own more dark foundations with other undertones? One more on the red tone spectrum

I notice this issue. The beauty industry feels that a lighter shade is always pink undertone, and darkest shades are always neutral (green) undertone.

Why can't they understand every shade needs an option in yellow, red, green, and blue undertones. That would be peak inclusive.

That foundation is, I think, for dark skin girls with neutral olive undertone. that's why its grey-green. Those with olive undertone have a hint of green and yellow on them and those with neutrals usually find warm and cool undertones too orange and pink respectively. In makeup or eyeshadows, the colors tend to turn ashy or grey on them if they don't use muted colors or palettes with grey/ashy undertone.

It's obvious that this wasn't tested because there are deep olive complexions, but this shade claims to be COOL! Olive features tones of green, yellow, or appear like a warm leaning neutral. Foundations with cool tones, pink/red undertones appear grey on olive skin. I have a medium olive complexion and it's very rare to see TRUE olive toned foundations. Brands don't create any past the light/tan category. I will say that olive toned/yellow foundations will look grey on true neutral complexions so they didn't formulate this well. *EDIT:* Please read my comments on this thread explaining how color is categorized in the beauty world. *2nd EDIT:* I use they/them pronouns

How hard is it to use a warm undertone for dark women’s foundation 🤦‍♀️ darker skin does not always mean cool undertone

[ravenaliform]

Your skin looks smooth and holographic like and I’m here for it, it’s so pretty!

[AliyaDabkes]

For the record there are Olive undertone black women and, yeah, they're gorgeous too. And considering how hard it is for fair olive undertone girls to find decent foundation options- and double hard if you've got dry skin! I hope the girls who are on the darker side of the spectrum and still olive toned get something to wear too!

[browngirl]

Constructive criticism: Let’s also include undertones in your reviews. Having cool or warm undertone will impact the look.

[muffindaddy]

This is the shade my friend uses and it matches I think you just have different undertones

[WalkWithGraceNFaith]

*girl, your skin is so beautiful. The light literally reflects purples and pinks and it’s so pretty!*

[TeachMeLordGod]

She has a rich red undertones. She is a warm toned skin color. Bless their heart, I hope that company gets it right after seeing this. It must be hard to match for them?

[tlaoltjenbruns]

While there are some peeps out there with that skintone, I do notice they seem to forget that there's a lot of lovely mahogany and cocoa tones out there. The brown users out there just get hit with the tan, tan, and more tan. C'mon, undertones exist.

On the plus side, I am thrilled that beauty products for darker skin and curly/coiled hair are becoming more accessible. It's a step that should have come a long time ago, but better late than never.

Your skin is prettier than any foundation 💯 #facts
