Foundation Do's and Don'ts

Please Do..Test  Foundation on...

Testing on your jaw to see if a foundation matches your skin is the most accurate way to know if the color suits you. Another handy tip if you know you are going foundation shopping is to walk with a mirror so you can first check the makeup in natural light before making a purchase. The lighting in department stores can be very deceptive, everything always looks good. Some foundations also change color as soon as it makes contact due to the pH balance composition within your skin. So if if you feel like,shop around and wait awhile and then check the foundation in natural light to see if you have the perfect match.

To see the Don'ts..

Don't

I have determined that it is the most natural thing for us to test products on our hands, especially our wrist. It is the go to place for testing makeup. However it is the worst place if you are trying to select the right foundation,as our wrists tend to be lighter than our faces. I know some of us for hygienic reasons will not dare placing the open foundations at the stores on your face. You could ask the sales clerk to spray alcohol to disinfect the product or see if she has any unused samples that you could try. It never hurts to ask.

Look out for my upcoming video where I will demonstrate how to know if a product matches your skin. Tweet
