QuestionHow do you chose the right foundation to put on your skin?Melanie SepulevedaCommunity AnswerAll of these factors determine the right foundation for your skin: Your general skin tone (fair, medium, or deep), your skin’s undertone (warm, neutral, or cool) I recommend looking up how to determine your undertone, and the amount of coverage you want (matte for full coverage and a concealed look, dewy for mostly full coverage and a natural look). Because of this, always test foundation when you can to make sure it matches. Use wikiHows on finding the correct foundation if you need to.
