How to Find the Best Foundation For You

Finding your perfect foundation or tinted moisturizer match can be as quick as it is simple. You will need: a few different shades to try (samples work well) and natural light. Swatching a few shades on your cheek or upper chest will give you the best sense of which shades truly match your skin. The right one for you should start to disappear. If your skin tone is uneven, match your foundation to the tone in the center of your face. Finally, make sure you blend so there are no harsh lines.
