How to find the correct shade of foundation just for you.
The area to test is on the jaw line. Find two or three foundation shades that match your skin tone and are closest in colour. Apply the foundation product in small short smudges on the jaw line.
The key fact to this test is to leave the applied foundation smudges on for 1-3 minutes, do not spread into skin with a sponge/buffing brush. Then decide which shade is correct to your skin tone, (key: the border between the foundation and the skin should be invisible). This will guide you to the correct selection of foundation product.
To further confirm your choice, extend the stroke of that shade into the temple of your forehead from the jaw line, you will see if this shade works with the rest of the face and can ensure it does not stand out from the skin colour of the neck.
If the foundation shade remains invisible after the application test, this means you have found the correct shade for full face application, giving the desired flawless finish seen in glossy magazines.
