I'm currently a "nude" color for one of my drugstore brand foundations, and recently I wanted to try out another foundation brand however the colors are different. How do I test what color suits my face best?
Any recommendations for drugstore foundations would be helpful too! :p thanks!

You put a few different colors on your neck, chest, decollete area. Which one looks closest to invisible is your color.

I have naturally flushed cheeks, so I try to match to my neck.

Ask a person at the drugstore for help. or try to match your old foundation to a new foundation

You should put it on your wrist and look at it outside the store with a compact. This really helped me.

@toribeth most people wrists don't match their neck/body.

For Stila I'm "deep" but in actuality I'm "warm"

No don't put it on your wrist! your wrist is a different color then your face. you want to take the 3 colors think you r nd put a lil bit on your jaw bone go outside nd see which one matches the best.

Always match the the color of your chest! Choose a color, swatch it onto your face and look at it in the sunlight.

Match the foundation to your jawline and neck - test it out on the area next to your ear.

Firstly make sure you know what undertones your skin has - pink or yellow/cold or warm, and then test it out on your neck and see which one blends in the best.

Bring your foundation with you to the store and buy the one that is most similar to it.
