How can I choose the right foundation for my skin colour?

Choosing the right foundation for your skin is harder than it seems. You should probably stock up on different coloured foundations as the seasons go by, or as your skin changes. One day you might wake up prim and perfect and the next you might look like you caught some fatal disease overnight.


Yellow-based foundations will look more natural on all of our skin, whether you're fair or dark. Pink is good for the cheeks and the lips, but it doesn't look quite as natural.


Sometimes to get the right foundation, you have to mix two or three together. That's absolutely fine, and don't be shy to experiment with it. If your foundation is too dark, try mixing it with a foundation that's about 2 shades lighter than it, and if your foundation is too light, then maybe try putting on some bronzer with it. Some foundations come packaged with more than one colour which is useful.


Also, when searching for your foundation, find one that comes with an SPF rating, moisturiser, alpha-hydroxy acids, and copper. This is like everything packed into one.


Also, try to make sure that you're able to test the foundation before you purchase it.How can I choose the right foundation for my skin colour?

umm, maybeline has this foundation thing, one for every skin type. fair tan and even dark. i think u would be able to find one to suit your skin type becuase i know i have found so many to suit people i know.
I would say that you should go into a shop like The Body Shop, or somewhere where there's a person on hand to talk you through the foundations. They can then help you decide what colour is best suited for your skin. I done it and my foundation looks great! Hope that helps .
either try it on or get somebody at a makeup color to pick your shade.. you should have 2 shades one for summer/spring and one for fall/winter..
