Foundation
Your foundation color must match your skin tone perfectly. It is especially crucial if you are planning to wear your hair up in an updo. Consider to color-match under natural daylight, not artificial lighting. Since, department store lighting can be deceptive. In some a way your makeup may appear to match your skin tone perfectly, but once you step out into natural light, that may not be the case. Selecting a foundation shade may take some time, since there are so many colors to choose from.

  Yellow undertones have most skin tones; even if you think you have a pink undertone, you still have yellow in your skin. With little exceptions, pale skinned women need to select more neutral yellow shades than makeup companies would have you think.

Try colors alongside your jaw, not on the inside of your wrist, for the best match. Consider your foundation should blend invisibly into your skin in the daylight.

If you purchase cosmetics at department stores, you can easily experiment with colors and get a hands-on experience with the products, and it is the really good advantage. You rarely can try on products at drug stores, making it difficult to make a decision. Also the good news for buyers is that if they aren't happy with their purchase, most drug stores nowadays offer money-back guarantees.
