Had a total lightbulb moment at Sephora yesterday about undertones

I was helping a friend pick out foundation at Sephora, and she kept grabbing warm toned stuff. The sales girl there showed her how to check her wrist veins in natural light, which is obvious to us but blew her mind. It made me realize how much we assume clients know basic stuff like that. I spent like 20 minutes watching people just grab shades off the shelf with zero testing. Do you guys ever do quick mini lessons on undertones during a full face or just let them pick and fix it later?

Vein-checking is basically the gateway drug to makeup obsession.

Saw something the other day about how the vein trick can actually be wrong for some skin tones, which is interesting. @sean_park8 nailed it though, vein-checking is basically the gateway drug to makeup obsession.
