To pick your matching shade or foundation, you must test the foundation on your neck or cheeks. The skin tone of your hands and face is never the same. The best way to find if a particular foundation oxide or not is to do some research. You can watch YouTube reviews or ask from professionals. If the foundation oxidizes, then it is better to buy one shade lighter than your skin color. This will prevent your makeup from turning grey even after several hours of application.
Even after taking many precautions while buying foundation, sometimes we still end up buying the wrong shade of foundation. A wrong shade of foundation means your foundation would not look good after oxidation or will make your face look dull and grey.
Usually, your face looks grey when you use a foundation that is three to four shades lighter than your skin tone. The best way to utilize your wrong shade of foundation is to mix it with another foundation. If your foundation is way too light, then mixing one or two drops of darker foundation can make it according to your skin tone. If your foundation is a bit darker than your skin tone, then you can add a few drops of lighter foundation to make it match your skin tone.
For lightening the foundation, you can add any white-colored lotion or cream as well. Sometimes, you use the right shade of foundation but still get grey-looking skin, especially around the mouth and under the eyes. One of many reasons for getting grey skin under the eyes and around the mount is that you might be using a lighter shade of concealer. Concealer is used to spot target areas of imperfections.
Choosing the right shade of concealer is essential. To entirely hide dark circles and the pigmented area around the mouth, use a shade of concealer that is tones darker than your skin tone. This way, the darker areas will be neutralized.
Now, when you apply foundation, the places where you have used a darker shade of concealer will be hidden entirely. After applying the foundation, use a lighter shade of concealer to highlight under the eyes.
Use a sponge or your fingers to blend the concealer. Otherwise, the concealer might move from its place. The best method is to dap your fingers to spread the concealer evenly gently. Color correctors are new magic formulae that can help you achieve your dream coverage without the fear of getting foundation turning to grey. Red or orange color corrector neutralizes the dark pigments on the skin. After priming your face, apply an orange color corrector on areas where you have dark spots.
Gently absorb the concealer into the skin by dabbing it with your fingers or with a beauty blender. Apply a very thin layer of color corrector so that you do not have to apply a thick layer of foundation on the skin.
If you feel that the color corrector would show up even after foundation, you can apply a darker shade of concealer over the color corrector. Top the concealer with your favorite foundation. This technique will not make your foundation look grey even after oxidation. Also, your makeup will last for longer than the usual time. Another reason why your makeup may look grey is because you may have applied your makeup in the wrong lighting.
If the lighting is too bright or even too dull this can have an impact on how your overall makeup look will appear. I personally have applied makeup in fluorescent lighting thinking my makeup looked fine but only to find out later on in natural lighting that it was not right. The best way to avoid this mistake is by always testing your makeup out in natural lighting.
When purchasing makeup in the store make sure your able to test it in natural lighting if possible. The lighting in the stores can really be misleading and be a bit too bright which can make you choose the wrong foundation shade. When purchasing foundation try to ask for samples of the suggested color and one shade darker and test out the makeup in natural lighting once you get home. This could prevent a costly mistake of purchasing the wrong foundation in the wrong lighting.

If there is any discoloration to the skin this will affect the way the makeup will look.

Lastly, always make sure that makeup is applied in the correct lighting so that it compliments in the skin to avoid a grey complexion.
