Always match your foundation to your neck/chest! You face usually is naturally lighter or darker in some cases than the rest of your body! You wanna look like one color all over! Hope this helps you a bit!

What Holly said.
you need to match the foundation with either your neck or your chest by applying a small amount & blending it in. if you can't tell the difference between the patch with foundation & the rest of your skin, you've found the right shade. if you can, test it in natural lighting as well. it's the best kind of lighting when trying to match foundation.

When choosing my foundation I usually rub a little on the back of my hand and blend it out. You could try that :) :)

Exactly what others posted, but also a lot of foundations will for example say, w123, the w stands for warm skin tones; c=cool and n=neutral, I have also even seen p=pink but not very often... But it just depends on the brand. Personally though I would not purchase any of the foundations you mentioned mainly because I believe in splurging on foundations and then just buying drugstore for everything else, just because most of higher end are usually better quality and they can match your skin tone at the store vs. trying to look through a glass bottle for drugstore brands...

And also by the time you purchase all of those foundations you will have spent the same amount as buying a good quality brand. You can go into sephora and find different foundations you're thinking about and ask for a sample, instead of wasting money on something you might not like. I recommend makeup forever hd, nars sheer glow (or sheer matte), smashbox, or too faced
