Fluorescent lighting can be pretty harsh, but I think that if you have the right foundation shade for your face, that’s what matters most. I would say that if you’re always under fluorescent light, then it might be worth trying out makeup in that light to see what you would like (such as warm-toned makeup rather than pink-toned, and lighter eye shadow colors). However, since it sounds like it’s only certain places like a restroom, then I think you are just fine!

I was wondering if you had any suggestions for foundation (perhaps the kinds you can purchase at the store) that would look decent in fluorescent lighting.lol I don’t know if this is a problem that I alone am having or if this is something everyone experiences. In other types of lighting my skin looks great but when I get under the fluorescent lighting (such as in a restroom) my face looks hideous, every blemish, scar and dry patch is enhanced. It is now to the point that when I go to a restroom that has this type of lighting and when I am standing in front of the mirror washing my hands, I think to myself “don’t look in the mirror”, “don’t look in the mirror” because I know what I will see and that I will feel badly for the remainder of the day. What would you suggest for face makeup that would look better under the evil fluorescent lights?
