Hello ladies :) I've always had a hard time picking out the right foundation. It's either too light, too dark or just makes my face look matte and dry. I have oily skin and I live in a small twin so we unfortunately don't have Mac, sephora etc. I'm looking for something warm and will give me somewhat of a glow. Any tips on how to pick out the right foundation will be appreciated!! Thank you ladies.

You would need to know your undertone. For this, you need to observe the colour of the veins on the underside of your arms in natural or white light. If you see blue veins, you are a cool undertone, if green veins, you are a warm toned person, if you see both green and blue veins you're a neutral. When you go picking a foundation, try samples if you can.
