Blue foundation??
A friend of mine showed me a “foundation kit” that included blue foundation. Having worked with color cosmetics and foundation I was unfamiliar with blue coloring being used to create tones for facial foundation. Is this a common practice? Does this exists with large make up companies especially ones trying to have 45 shades?

Trendy, isn’t it? For customers experimental experiences, they can create their own semi-professional(ish) foundation.

I think it is a cool idea but the “blue” foundation was something new to me. I not sure what the common practice outside of my own experience with foundations which did not include indigo/blue coloring. Needless to say me and this person went round and round about the use of blue on skin tones.

@Stanley - The use of blue might come from (just my speculation) when painters paint portraits, some will mix a tad bit of blue when paint the skin of the face area to get the colour effect they want. One that I went to his studio use purple.
Never have I ever seen a professional makeup artist using it but it might be really handy on Halloween. My humble opinion, it is too California-ish or Florida-ish, will global brands have it or they had it, I don’t know. -
Crazy, I had never heard of blue foundation before. I do add a very small amount of ultramarine blue pigment to my foundation to match my skin tone.

this is the kit. it is being used to help make different tones. so i assume using blue foundation is still not a common practice.
