If you are an ebony woman that has been round and round trying to find your perfect shade of foundation then this is the blog for you. Here is my list of top, looks like skin, foundations for women of color.
Before I begin I must stress that it is important to know your skin undertone. While we as a people like to use terms like "red boned" to describe a lighter skinned woman that is not always accurate. A light skinned person like Jennifer Lopez could be more olive or yellow undertoned while Azealia Banks could be way more red in her undertone.
A good way to tell is to turn your wrist so that your palm is facing the sky. Then look at the veins in your wrist.
If your veins look Blue or Purplish Blue then you have cool undertones.
If they look yellow or Olive/Green then you have warm undertones.
If you see both then you are neutral.
