Make sure you check your foundation in daylight to prevent choosing a shade that is too grey, too pink or too orange, depending on your skin undertones.
Match your face to your body! We cleanse, exfoliate and use SPF on our faces, so it's no wonder that we can sometimes have a lighter face than body. Others may find that they have a darker face than their body, especially if they have spent lots of time in the sun.
When applying foundation, never forget your neck. You don’t want to end up with the dreaded tidemark. Blend thoroughly with a foundation brush to avoid a line of makeup.
Think about the foundation coverage you would like. If you love long-wear foundation to take you from day to night, then go for a fuller coverage. Or if you prefer a natural makeup look, a light coverage foundation will be perfect for you.
