If you're not sure what color foundation you need, stop by a makeup store and ask a professional makeup artist to match a product to your skin tone.

Otherwise, you will look like you’re wearing a mask.

If your neck and face are different shades, match your foundation to your neck.

Pay attention to your undertones as well, since you may need a cooler or warmer shade to really match your skin.

Make sure to choose foundation, concealer, and powder that match your skin tone.

For a heavier coverage, use a damp beauty sponge to blend the foundation into your skin. For light coverage, use your fingertips to blend the foundation towards the edges of your face. To apply foundation, dab a small amount on your cheeks, forehead, chin, and the bridge of your nose. Foundation evens out your skin tone and gives you a beautiful glow.
