How to choose the right foundation
- For the right shade, test the foundation on your face, not your hand.
- The right shade will disappear on your face and blend with your skin tone. If you get a greyish look after applying the foundation, then it is not the right shade.
- If you have oily skin, go for a matte foundation. But if you have dry skin, go for a liquid or cream foundation.
