I have a stupid question.

I never know how to tell if my foundation actually matches my skin color. I just bought a new brand and I think it looks okay but I'm not sure. I've looked in the mirror a million times and still can't tell. Is there an easy way to figure this out, I hate to be walking around wearing a mask, lol. Thanks ladies!

I would take your mirror out into the natural light and check your jaw line and so on :)

When you go shopping for foundation, buy the one that disappears into the skin on your chest or neck, since your face tends to be a lighter shade than your neck and chest.

I agree with Sabrina. I use a mirror in natural lighting and look to see if my face matches my neck.

Put on the foundation and take a few selfies in different angles and lighting. That should help.
