First, Pick Your Hue Shifter

According to White, Hue Shifters are a secret weapon to perfectly matched foundation. “Warm and cool hue shifters will adjust the undertone of your foundation, while the dark and light hue shifters are used to sculpt and brighten features to contour.”

Mix Your Hue Shifter and Foundation Together

After choosing which hue shifter you want to work with, shake the bottle three times and mix it with your closest shade match of Total Control Pro Drop Foundation. “Use a mixing palette or the back of your hand for blending,” she says. “I recommend starting with two drops of the Hue Shifter at first.” You can add more drops as needed if you want more impact. 


To apply, use the NYX Professional Makeup Total Control Drop Foundation Brush and finish off the look by blending in the foundation with a damp blending sponge. Set it with the NYX Professional Makeup Matte Setting Spray.

Adjust As Needed

The best part about the Hue Shifters is that they allow you to mix, match and experiment with different colors for the perfect contour or addition of a cool or warm undertone.
