<h3></h3><h4></h4><h4> </h4>We think it’s safe to say that at one point or another, we’ve all worn a shade of foundation that just wasn’t right for us. Whether you’ve rocked that telltale line across your jawline or the powdered ghost look, we want you to know that we’ve all been there, and you’re not alone.Finding your perfect match when it comes to foundation is sort of like finding The One. You’ll have to go through a lot of trial and error before you get it right, and that’s totally okay because, in the end, you’ll find what works for you. However, we don’t think your daily makeup routine should be as complex as your dating life, so we’ll let you in on a little secret: finding the perfect shade of foundation is all about finding your undertone. Sounds sort of intense—we know. The good news? We’ve got the 411 on all things undertones and how to find a flawless shade of foundation because of them. Ahead, we’re breaking down the basics.What Exactly Is An Undertone?Undertones are simply the colors that exist beneath the surface of the skin. To be clear, these are entirely different from skin tones. Skin tones are influenced by the melanin within our skin as well as outside factors such as an abundance of sun or lack thereof, while undertones remain consistent at all times. There are three different types of undertones: warm, cool, and neutral. Warm undertones make the skin appear well, warm, and are most commonly denoted by shades of yellow, gold, or peach. Cool undertones give the base of the skin a blue, pink, or red tint, while neutral undertones are a mixture of both warm and cool hues. Oftentimes, this means that those who have a neutral undertone have an undertone that appears to be the same color as their skin tone. When it comes to foundations—or makeup in general, for that matter—undertones play a huge role in finding shades that flatter and properly match your skin tone. And this isn’t just about foundations—we’re talking everything from lipstick to eyeshadows to blush. Below, we walk you through the steps to finding your undertone, and eventually, your perfect foundation. How To Find Your UndertoneFinding your undertone is actually quite simple. First, take a look at the veins on the underside of your wrist—these can help you figure out exactly what undertone category you fall into. If you notice that your veins appear green, you likely have a warm undertone. If your veins appear blueish or purple, your undertones are cool. If you’re struggling to locate a vein or find that yours aren’t visible, fret not—there are plenty of other methods for finding your undertones.If you look best in gold jewelry, it’s probably safe to say that you have warm undertones. Look stunning in silver? Your undertones are more than likely cool. If both look amazing on you, neutral is where you fall on the spectrum. Still not sure? Throw on a white t-shirt and head to a space with bright, natural light. If your skin looks pink and rosy against the contrast of a white t-shirt, you’ve got cool undertones. If your skin gives off a golden glow, your undertones are warm. And if you want to make sure that you’ve figured out your undertone once and for all, here’s a list of celebs that fall into each undertone category:Warm: Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Lucy Liu, Jessica Alba, Halle Berry, Blake Lively Cool: Adele, Emma Stone, Iman, Alek Wek, Nicole Kidman, Lupita Nyong’oNeutral: Kerry Washington, Miranda Kerr, Jennifer Aniston, Sandra Bullock, Drew BerrymoreFinding Your Undertone Based On Your Skin ToneRemember, skin tones and undertones are two completely different things. However, your skin tone can serve as a guide to determining your undertone. Skin tones fall into seven categories: fair, light, medium, olive, tan, medium-dark, and deep. Fair skin tones are on the lightest end of the spectrum and most often fall into the neutral or cool undertones category. If you have fair skin, you’ll find that shades that are cool-toned such as oatmeals, taupes, and mild pinks usually complement your skin tone and undertone best. Light skin tones still fall on the fairer end of the spectrum, but they’re not as light as fair skin tones. People with light skin tones often look best in soft, neutral cool-toned shades—think light blue, gray, and deeper nudes.Medium skin tones usually complement both warm and cool tones, and their close cousin olive follows a similar rule. These skin tones look most radiant in bright and vivid shades like warm yellows and rich reds. Tan skin tones are slightly deeper than medium and olive tones—think of them as glowing bronzes. They look best with metallic shades like gold and copper. Medium-dark and deep skin tones are similar to medium and olive skin tones. They work with cool and warm colors alike, and they also look amazing in vivid colors. Their most complementing shades are hot pinks, electric blues, and deep nudes like sable, espresso, and mauve pink. Finding Your Perfect Foundation ShadeNext time you’re in the market for a new foundation, be sure to keep your undertone in mind. Our best advice is to do this in person, if possible. However, if you can’t make it out, there are tons of online tools available from popular makeup retailers that make it easy to find your perfect shade virtually.Start by choosing a few foundations that will work with your unique skin type and provide your preferred amount of coverage. Select formulas in colors that you feel will best complement your undertone. Some brands make this easy by labeling their shades with markers like C for cool, N for neutral, and W for warm. Next, test a bit of the foundation on your skin. The best place to do this is on your neck or cheek, as your hands and wrists tend to differ from the shade of your face due to sun exposure. Look for the shade that perfectly blends and disappears into your skin, and voila—you’ve found your perfect match.SHOP NOW: <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/browse/beauty/cosmetics-makeup/foundation">View our Top 10 foundation lists for every skin type and need</a>WHAT TO READ NEXT:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/stylist/anti-aging-tips">The Skin Experts Guide To Anti-Aging</a>

What To Know About Your Skin's Undertone And How It Can Help You Find The Perfect Foundation Shade

Not to be dramatic, but finding your signature scent is almost like becoming the person you were meant to be. Cheesy—we know—but there’s something enviably sophisticated about a personal scent. It’s almost like a sign of unwavering commitment that can’t be broken by the changing trends, and frankly, that level of dedication is quite impressive. Our sense of smell is incredibly powerful, and when we get a whiff of a scent that reminds us of a certain someone, it can bring back memories and overwhelm us with nostalgia. And personally, that’s an effect we’d like to have on people because… who wouldn’t? The gratification that comes with finding your <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-hair-fragrances">signature scent</a> is one to be desired, but the journey can be difficult. On the bright side, finding The One no longer requires you to spend your precious time alternating between different fragrances and coffee beans at the perfume counter. In fact, you can discover your signature scent from the comfort of your own home. Whether you’re shopping for your very first perfume or have outgrown what you once thought was your go-to, we’re here to help. Ahead, we get into the nitty-gritty details of finding your perfect fragrance.THE STEPS:1. Figure out what scents you like (and don’t).&nbsp;First things first—learn what you like and don’t like. If there’s a certain scent you absolutely hate to get a whiff of, it’s probably wise to avoid that particular smell when looking for a fragrance. It’s also helpful to be able to recognize the names of different types of scents, as doing so will make it easy to filter through fragrances when you’re searching online. The most common scents are floral, spice, wood, musk, citrus, and smoky, and we’re breaking them down for you below.Floral: This all-encompassing scent smells like the freshest petals from a bouquet.Spice: Spice is almost always characterized by the scent of cloves or other strong fragrances like cinnamon.Wood: When it comes to wood, think anything and everything from nuts to patchouli.Musk: Not to be confused with must, this scent is typically a clean smell—think freshly washed sheets.Citrus: Like the smell of lemons, limes, and oranges, this scent is refreshing and light.Smoky: This scent is most often associated with tobacco, a freshly blown-out candle, or burning firewood.2. Purchase a discovery set first. When searching for your signature scent, it’s important to keep in mind that fragrances are not one-size-fits-all. In other words, the same perfume can smell one way on you and totally different on someone else, which is mostly due to differing pH balances. Our advice? Buy a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-perfume-discovery-sets">discovery set</a>. It’ll allow you to try a variety of scents without making the full investment.3. Go slow. Finding your signature scent is a marathon, not a race. It’s totally okay to take your time when searching for a favorite. Test out the scents from your discovery set or a few samples one by one. See how they wear on your body for a week, and then decide.&nbsp;4. Give it time. As we said, these things take time, and trust us—you’ll want to make sure the scent you go with is one you can stick with. While you’re testing out fragrances, pay close attention to how they smell throughout the day. It’s totally normal if you notice a change. This is typically due to your body’s pH balance, along with the top and heart notes in your perfume.5. Like what you like. The most important aspect of choosing a perfume is making sure that you like it. Don’t be disappointed if a cult classic isn’t your favorite or feel that you have to like it because everyone else does. Most importantly, make sure that your experience wearing your signature scent is a pleasant one. Watch out for headaches or nausea related to your fragrance.6. Factor in your go-to hair and body products. Ensure that your bath and body products don’t steal the show, or worse, clash with your perfume.7. Don’t be afraid to invest. Last but not least, don’t be afraid to splurge. Perfumes are an investment, and a little bit will go a long way in terms of both wear and use.Ready to start your scent journey?

How To Find Your Signature Scent

7 Easy Steps To Help You Find A Fragrance You Love Without Leaving Your Home

When it comes to footwear, we’re big believers in investing—and we’re not just saying this because we’re a team almost entirely comprised of shoe-obsessed women. A high-quality pair of shoes can carry you through multiple seasons and events, getting better with age and offering an unmatched level of comfort. But with today’s designer styles costing upwards of $500 or more, we know that splurging isn’t always an option. Enter M.Gemi: a first-of-its-kind footwear brand making Italian luxury attainable.While you could argue that women’s footwear is one of the most saturated markets out there, M.Gemi’s founder, born-and-bred Italian entrepreneur Maria Gangemi, managed to find its one true white space. The brand cuts through the supply chain to combine the costs and quick turn-around times of fast-fashion shoes with the quality and construction of designer ones. By working closely and personally with Italy’s small, family-owned workshops and selling products directly through its website, M.Gemi avoids traditional retail markups and delivers beautiful, high-quality shoes at a cadence and price point that have never been seen before.Take the <a href="https://www.pjatr.com/t/TUJGR0lGTkJGRkhJSEtCR0VLSk5I?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmgemi.com%2Fpages%2Fmost-loved-moccasin">Felize</a>, for example, M.Gemi’s most-loved moccasin and one of Maria’s personal favorites (she’s also partial to the <a href="https://www.pntrs.com/t/TUJGR0lGTkJGRkhJSEtCR0VLSk5I?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmgemi.com%2Fcollections%2Fthe-esatto-90mm-point-toe-pump">Esatto</a>, <a href="https://www.gopjn.com/t/TUJGR0lGTkJGRkhJSEtCR0VLSk5I?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmgemi.com%2Fcollections%2Fthe-palestra-due-sneaker%3Fproduct%3D5077177729083">Palestra</a>, and <a href="https://www.pntrs.com/t/TUJGR0lGTkJGRkhJSEtCR0VLSk5I?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmgemi.com%2Fcollections%2Fthe-ilaria-25mm-mixed-media-sandal%3Fproduct%3D5106500403259">Ilaria</a>). While the shoe retails for $198, a similar style from another Italian-made brand could set you back anywhere from $500 to $2,000. The same goes for the rest of M.Gemi’s designs, which consist of everything from classic pumps and sneakers to mock-croc booties and chic fur slides.But according to Maria, M.Gemi isn’t just about the jaw-dropping shoes they churn out—it’s also about the hard work that goes into making them. In fact, the brand itself was inspired by Maria’s unending love for Italian craftsmanship.“M.Gemi was born out of a simple and true concept: A platform to showcase and help preserve the skills of small Italian artisans while providing customers with unfettered access to the highest-quality Italian-crafted leather goods at attainable prices,” she said. “On my frequent trips back home to Italy, I would often meet these craftspeople and admire their beautiful work. I wanted to ensure that their craft would stand the test of time and be available for generations to come, and so M.Gemi came to be.”Today, M.Gemi’s inventory consists of more than 200 styles and has expanded to include handbags and men’s shoes. To keep things feeling fresh, Maria says listening to customers is key.“[We incorporate] feedback from our customers where possible and work very collaboratively with our artisans in the production process,” Maria said. “Before the pandemic hit, we had planned to roll out a considerable assortment of women’s high-heeled pumps and sandals. Once stay-at-home orders were enacted, we knew we had to move quickly to change our assortment to be more relevant to what the customer would need in 2020 and beyond.”Thanks to M.Gemi’s close partnerships with its Italian artisans, the brand can release new styles with turnaround times that are much shorter than those of traditional luxury brands. While this means that designs can come and go quickly, there are a few iconic styles—think the <a href="https://mgemi.com/collections/the-corsa-boot">Corsa</a> ankle boot and the ever-so-classic Felize driver—that remain constant.“We listen to our customers. There are certain styles that are just timeless and evergreen, and our customers have let us know how much they love and enjoy those styles both through our sell-outs and our season-after-season performance of those shoes. We really do listen to the data, and we make decisions based on the feedback we receive in real-time,” Maria said.Since M.Gemi’s launch in 2015, the brand has earned itself a huge following—and an impressive one, at that. From Gwenyth Paltrow to Shay Mitchell, some of the world’s most stylish women turn to M.Gemi for its on-trend designs and exceptional quality.Lucky for us, Maria says M.Gemi has lots of exciting plans for the future, including new product lines and even more in-depth work with its Italian artisans and factories. But until then, it’s a brand you’ll want to keep on your radar, whether you're in the market for a pair of wear-forever shoes or simply want to treat yourself to something beautiful.“In our lives, there are things that we buy for beauty and pleasure, and things that we buy for function. At M.Gemi, we marry the two so you never have to pick.”This article is brought to you by our friends at M.Gemi.
