The right foundation can do wonders. Consider your skin type. If you have oily skin, stick with an oil-free formula. If you have drier skin, select a creamier formula that offers moisturizing benefits. Decide what type of look you d like to achieve.
Foundations can offer sheer to heavy coverage and finishes that range from satiny to matte.
Test the colors of your preferred formula on your jawline, which offers the truest facial coloring. Any foundation will look slightly darker in the bottle, so keep this in mind when assessing your options. Blend in the foundation gently with a makeup sponge. The foundation should disappear into your skin. If you find you re between shades, blend two colors together, or keep looking for a brand that offers the perfect shade.
