Q: Do all Asian women need yellow based foundation?

Technically, not all Asians need yellow-based foundation to look good, because Asian skin has the widest pigment range. Some are even paler than most Whites, but generally most Asians look more natural in yellow-based foundation, as do women of all race.

Most companies claim to have yellow based foundation formulas, but some are more natural looking than others.

Right shade of foundation tend to look darker in its bottle than its true color upon application. Trial-and-error is the only way to find the right shade for you. But for everyday use, tinted moisturizer may be all that you need. The color of tinted moisturizer need not be exact because their spread is so sheer, and it’s good for your skin too.

Apply the tinted moisturizer with a sponge for a sheer, even coverage. Then lightly dust on powder with a large brush for a naturally flawless look.

I personally use a pink base foundation.

For best coverage I mix my foundation with my concealer. I give tips on how to on my blog www.asianmakeupdiaries.com

I can achieve high coverage with a light foundation. Doesn’t feel heavy and my age spots are covered!
