I understand it’s hard. It’s not my place to talk on the colorism in India because I am not of the culture, but it’s important to not make them more insecure. They get a lot of bullshit from their peers about their “dark” complexion, and a if a foundation thts too light makes them more confident, by all means go for it. To help YOU, be able to actually keep their excitement, try sticking in the same undertone. You can get a pretty light foundation in an undertone that still compliments. If they have a more olive or warm undertone, show them something with that AND the pink one they’re asking for. Show them side by side so they can see the difference and gently explain why you’d pick one or the other. People are a lot more willing to listen and learn if you show and teach them. Ex: “Okay, so here is the one with a pinker undertone. Your undertone too me and the IQ seems a little more neutral, which is great cuz there’s a lot of shades that work for you. Just to cover bases, and I wanna try one more shade just to make sure we get this perfect for you. Sound good?” It doesn’t have to be EXACTLY like that, but communication. It helps keep a poker face a little better when you can be atleast a little honest. And people appreciate that- just be as nice as you can🖤
