Finding My PERFECT Foundation Match... Finally
μμ€ μ½λ
- κ²μμΌ 2019. 01. 07.
- HI SISTERS! I've been doing makeup for 3 years now but the one skill I have not mastered is matching my foundation. I've looked white with Flashback Mary, but I've also looked orange. For today's video, I decided to test out every single foundation on the market and see if I could find the perfect shade. Enjoy!

Who wanted to see James blend all the foundations together on his face
YES I WAS THINKING THAT EXACT THING WHILE WATCHING THIS!
I did
Like this sis
Same
I did too!! π
*I think the fenty beauty color was honestly the best match, you can't even see a color difference between the neck and face*
Kat Chartreux yeah I agree
Timestamp?
True
Vyansyah 20:40
Totally agree
The Fenty one was literally a perfect match! Imagine that!
YES IT REALLY WASSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry let me stop yelling!π
β€I agree
moral of the story
βugh thatβs too yellowβ
Haha this actually made me chuckle
Haha
Underrated commennnntttt
Girl, fenty is it. You have pinker undertones than you think. Your face, neck and chest are different, your face sees more sun than your neck and your neck sees more sun than your chest. That is why there is such a drastic difference. The happy medium between all three is your jaw bone. Fenty is the best choice.
the fenty one DEFINITELY matched the best
sunset shine yea ur right
Sunset shine very true
he swears he doesnt have pink undertones, but im a first time watcher and i see it immediately
not him thinking he has a warm undertone this man is a strawberryπ€
literally
Lol yβall watching this in 2021
I know you may not have meant it this way, but if James were to read this it may come off as hate and not constructive criticism, which he is all about.
Gees leave him alone he is trying his best
He said he isn't
"Do I literally not have warm undertones, have I been lying to myself this whole time?" YES. Yes sis you have. You are literally Cool / Pink undertones. You need cool or neutral shades, with a peachy tone.
"It's officially 2019" stay there james don't go ahead just stay there
ya lol NEVER LEAVE
for real haha
ππππ
Ikr but i do be making the 400th like tho...
Run awayyyy james run awayyyyy as far is a sister cannnnnnnn
james: "everyone i convinced im not warm toned"
Also him: trying warm tones and them not matching him
me: your not warm toned your a little darker than pale
Undertones have nothing to do with how dark or pale you are
the problem heβs having is his undertones are pink, and the heβs choosing some foundation that has a yellow undertone. try an ivory shade!
The fact that all the comments are new and weβre all stuck indoors is just proof KRplus is a life saver.
Edit thanks for all the likes
YuP
Exactly
Lol so true π
yo iβm bored asf
Mostly James bc he is sooo entertaining lol
okay the fenty 170 looks like an absolute perfect match
Time stamp plz?
Beeboo Phan yAes SHiSTar
30:22 is the timestamp :3
Clara Rodriguez check my reply
James: *puts on the lightest foundation*
People who remember Flashback Mary:
I remember the flashback Mary and his foundation picking is not that great, he could have just asked someone to give him a foundation match
@@olivia-jayde3766 okay mhm
James: βIt is officially 2019 I hope everyone is having a great start to the brand new year~β
Me: βit is officially 2021 and Iβm slowly dying~β
xd
Hahaπ€£
Sorry
Anyone else here binge watching James during the corona outbreak
Too relatable...
MEEEEE
how did you know
Meeeee!!!
ME
Oh, definitely Dior and Fenty. They were perfect matches. The Too Faced one was a little orange imo, the best foundations were those with pink undertones and not yellow.
Dior spray and milk foundation goes PERFECT for your neck and chest and I love the born this way for your face as well as morphe and fenty but youβd have to see how it matches with your neck using the dior spray or milk foundation! Using two different colors for your face and neck would be better for you since the color looks differently in both areasβ€οΈ
I think James should have mixed all of the colors on his face, to see what foundation color that would have made
I think the Fenty one is the best mach!
Same!
The Dior flash, spray one IS his match!!
βi know tana swears by this which means it is probably terribleβ I LITERALLY DIED but whenever i see that foundation i think of tana
2 faced and fenty looked the best in my opinion!β€
Imagine you work at whatever store he is at and seeing 2 sketchy people in hoodies and then looking closer and realizing itβs james charles and his cameraman/camerawoman
I wish james blended all of the colors together at the end
Plus imagine it was his perfect shade
ikr
omg yea!!!
So everytime he has to do this lol
Same
@@thelifeofimi4214 lmao
love how he's calling out all the brands for not having enough dark shades
Ive been scrolling through the comments for so long and your the first nice comment ive seen
I mean itβs kind of annoying when a foundation doesnβt have enough proper shades
I think he didnβt mean for himself but just in general. Must be really hard to find a foundation for someone with dark skin.
James used to think he was so tanπ
2 years later, Iβm going to say the Fenty one π Born this way was a really good match too.
FENTY WAS THE ONLY SHADE THAT PROPERLY MATCHED HIM AND THE FINISH WAS SO BEAUTIFUL
YASSSSSS SIS
rainbow lollipops rightttt β€οΈ
fenty 170 is definetly your perfect shade
the fenty foundation matching perfectly... not surprised
Too faced and Fenti look amazing! Thanks for the video. I find that I canβt match mine either because, like you, my neck, arm, hand, chest, and face are all different colors. Makeup artists find it incredibly difficult to match me. xo
Fenty actually looks best on you!
Kris the Cat I agree!!
I 100% agree!
Yes
Yeah π
For sure
James: "let's try this one, it's a little more pinky toned. Ooh, it blends right in, it's literally almost a perfect match!"
Also James: "I do NOT have pink undertones"
april his face was a like sooooooo pink
omg i just saw your profile pic and was like βOMG IS LOUISβ
His whole body is pink π look at his hands
Your profileβs pic π€€β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
april lol
I think it would be fun if you all blended all the foundations together and find the perfect match
the morphe one was my fav, but I think you look fab in any shade of foundation. love you.
The too faced really does match you well, but personally I think the fenty brings the warmth you prefer while also withholding your actual color.
YOUR ππΌ BEST ππΌ MATCH ππΌ WAS ππΌ DEFINITELY ππΌ FENTY ππΌ
The morphe matches you so well ( Iβm not good at makeup) but it matches your skin so well!
2 faced in the color nude looks really good! Morphe looks perfect too! Sorry if Iβm late! π
Fenty hands down! you look freaking amazing. Second would be the Dior Flash. I know you said you don't like spraying it but you can spray it on your hand and then pick it up with your blender. Then the Morphe foundation.
Manal Elbarhoumi I love all of those too but the morphe looks a little light and can kinda cause flashbacks
Yes sister that's what I said π
Treall Bartholomew no u didnβt ππΆ
Manal Elbarhoum
i think he's scared of the lighter shades because flashback mary was traumatizing to him or sumn but they're the ones that match him the best
tim i feel like that is true but james tries to match his foundation to his arms because his arms are ran but his chest and face are pale.
hiiii
I love that fenty one! A perfect match, James!
I loved the Too Faced and the Fenty Beauty one but I think no matter what foundation you have on you will always look sister snatched!!!!! And I also thing that the NARS foundation was a good one too I forgot to mention that!!!!
Definitely Fenty 170! Sorry sister James π
I know, right? It literally looks like he doesnβt even have makeup on. Itβs perfect!
Yessss
Yeah, itβs because it matches his body better. I think he sees himself warmer because he has rosacea on the face but his neck and torso are pale he should start matching with his neck and chest tbh!
Diana Cortez definitely
Fenty is the match sister..maybe try mixing it with face mosturiser or something if you think the formula is too dry for you
just another human I feel like one of the Farsali elixir or essence would mix great with the Fenty foundation
My fav on him was the Fenty foundation!! It was perfect
Hi James I love your videos!!!
sis... fenty was the best match, thatβs just the tea
Razberry Pie but it looked good....
Fenty totally killed it. You look slightly orange with most of the other ones.
Agreed
Omg ! Loved the Fenty!
PLEASE JAMES BLEND THEM ALL TOGETHER ITβLL PROBABLY MATCH PERFECTLY
only james would make a 37 minute video finding his correct foundation shade
laniefalls π
laniefalls heβs truly one of a kind ππ
Its Fenty sis period!!
Sabrina Barker yessss
YAAAS
Sabrina Barker love your profile pic
I subbed! To you sabrina
James should blend them all in at the end and add a little pink
The tenth one matched his beautiful face so well
Love ya James x
Fenty looks so perfect ahh
I think the fenty beauty is a fantastic match. Maybe try mixing in oils or like some dewy drops to make it a more dewy foundation versus drying. I do agree with a previous commenter that you lean towards foundations that are too dark because your arms are tanned than the rest of your body and the redness of your face makes it seem darker. You can always darken a foundation with bronzer but you cant lighten a base that is too dark.
Elizabeth Rose , I totally agree the fenty beauty is a fantastic match :)
I think fenty beauty foundation was the best match for you haha π₯°
james i really suggest you to mix some different shade foundations to try get your best shade match
Itβs so weird seeing people without a mask
Iβve never had this many likes what
It's also so crazy seeing people touching the product without problem! I bought a new foundation today and stores are not giving testers so I hope it matches lol
Ikrrr
I Know
omg ikr
I know
Fenty and Morphe for sure, donβt worry about it looking a lil pale bc u can always add bronzer sis
Angela LeΓ³n my thoughts exactly!!!
Agreed!
Angela LeΓ³n yeah and even Dior but the packaging in so annoyed
Pro tip: if you donβt like how the Fenty looks more matte, it will look Perfect and a lil dewy with some setting spray trust me
i know it has been 3 years but the milk fenty and the morphe look really good on you
james needs to do this again BUT BLEND THE SHADES ππππ foundation can oxidise and shades can look different after blending ππ
The fenty foundation looks the absolute best and looks like youβre not wearing anything. Otherwise the dior looked fairly close
Fenty is literally a perfect match
The match for you James that I would know that will be a perfect matchup and that is the Fenti Beauty Filter Foundation in the shade 170.
I love this vid I canβt stop watching this
No joke fenty is really good and morphe
Youβre definitely more cool toned than warm. The fenty foundation is the best match
the spray... I kept on staring at it on ur forhead. Its PERFECT
FENTI!!! YASS its the best
I really wanted you to blend out all of the swatches just to see which shade came from all of the swatches lol. the FENTY and the MORPHE looked the best I think. This was a cool video
Was thinking he was going to do that
Time for safiya nygard to step in π
Yas! Couldnβt he have like mixed multiple foundations together to find the perfect one. Imagine if he mixed all the final ones together!!! It probably could have made a perfect match!!!
I know same
Honestly I'm always so self conscious of my foundation color even tho I try to get as close as possible, but this video made me feel a lot better π
I think the Fenty looks the best. It didn't even look like you were wearing makeup
Azuree Nikole thatβs what I was thinking
Shyohbi Xxx same
it looks orange
@@kivamama3454 you're orange. There was no reason you had to reply to my comment if you thought it was orange like for real? Bruh
I agree
Too faced, fenty, and morphe look the best too faced is my personal fav and I think its the best out of the three
Iβve always liked Aveeda foundation, it helps with redness too and itβs long lasting. I would like to see you review Vegan make up.
Fenty is LITERALLY perfect on you!!!
Alanah Fulop I like that, Dior and Too Faced. I think Morphe and Milk are too pale and I think makeup forever is too orange
Amen sis fenty
Let's scream together...FENTY! That definitely matched flawlessly. Then too faced and finally makeup forever. Such a great video. The struggle is real. I hate playing the matching game with foundation. Does fenty make a dewy foundation? Xoxo
Fenty isn't dewy unfortunately. It dries down fast so you don't have to use powder much. It works well with oily skin or if you are in an area which has high humidity. If you are in a dry area, use a sticky primer or a primer that doesn't mattify your face because it will be super dry on your skin especially for combi skin.
I love you and your channel so much and so much love and support to the channelπ€π€
The Fenty was a perfect match!
The Fenty was the best shade match in my opinion. Second would be the Dior AirFlash Spray.
I vote Fenty shade 170. Also your hair is really cool James!
edit: thanks for all the likes. lets see if we can get to 1K likes
Also what does highlighted comment mean?
Dior backstage, illamasqua skin base and Bobbi brown skin are the only ones who have my actual shade. But luckily I love them all.
Love the pre-mask days
you should do a β3 different makeup stores match my foundationβ type video
alex slack smart
so trueeee
not gonna lie- the fenty one looked the best haha
The Fenty beauty is the perfect match for you sister β€
Does anyone else love James FREAKIN ADORABLE FRECKLES EEEEEE π
Fenty and too faced is the perfect match
FENTY LOOKS SO GOODDDDD
F Rhianna
James: I need the perfect foundation
Also James *picks one shade too dark in all of them*
(Minus the fenty, looks perfect)
The fenty one looks bomb :)
I think the fenty one was the best (sorry sister James π )
Nethara Fernando same
same
Nethara Fernando the Fenty was good but the two lighter matchsticks I think would have been perfect if he blended them together!
Yes definitly the fenty one
Fentyπx
FENTY 170 LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL ON YOU SISTER!
Two frace and fenty are the best arch you James. Love you!
james i understand u color matching is really hard its not ur fault for putting it aside but im glad ur trying to find the perfect shade for you
Fenty was the best color match, but Too Faced was also very close! You could try mixing them maybe?
Madison & Her trashy art That is EXACTLY what I was thinking!!!
I think the Fenty looks closest to the skin tone but Too Faced is a very close match as well. He honestly could go either way
I think fenty pulled you together. Your chest, arm and face seemed to blend together better and got consistent in color. A life Lesson for makeup I've discovered is that I'm far more light then I thought I'd be. I think you lowkey felt the same because you got a lot of light mediums and the few light you tried were the best matches.
The dior IS LITERALLY PERFECTION
I LOVE THE RESULTS
