How to Match Foundation to Your Skin

Step 1: Visit a salon or department store without any makeup on. Ask for assistance in picking out the foundation. Request to have small dot of different foundations applied to your skin.

Step 2: Go outside and check the foundations in natural sunlight. Purchase two or three shades of liquid foundation that closely match your skin tone under natural sunlight.

Step 3: Cleanse and moisturize your face when you are ready to apply your makeup.

Step 4: Blend all of the foundation samples together and apply a bit of the blended mixture on your face with a sponge.

Step 5: Examine the results and determine if you need more or less of a specific foundation color. Experiment with the different foundation colors by blending different amounts of foundation together and applying them to your skin until you get the perfect color match.

Step 6: Mix the right amounts of foundation together each time you apply makeup.

Other Tips:
-Choose a concealer at least a shade lighter than your foundation.
-Avoid buying makeup at drugstores; may not be as fresh.
-Buy different foundation for the summer and winter since, the skin tones change from season to season.
