When you try different foundation tones take a very small amount and rub it into your cheek you will know you have the perfect foundation when you don't notice the foundation after it has dried

Go to a beauty consultant and ask them to match you and wa-la..tons a shades you can go by from that. It's best to talk about your skin issues and what you're looking for to improve. :)

It's hard to go into drugstores and find your perfect swatch because most places don't have any or that shade you're looking or to sample. Just go see someone and get an idea or swatch from them :)

Excellent advice from Jacqueline! I also recommend the L'Oreal True Match line if you're looking for a drugstore product. Hands down best color range available at mass retailers.

The Sephore Pantone method isnt available in all locations check on the website if there's one near your!

You should take the three foundations you think is around your color and put them on your jaw then GO outside and see which one is closes to your skin tone... BTW you dnt have to kno hardly anything about make up to work at Sephora so if you go there and ask someone they might not kno how to determine your color
