Know your shade first:
⚫Once you know what your skin tone is, finding your skin shade will be easier.
⚫If you’ve got warm undertones (yellow, golden or peach), your foundation should be yellow or peach based. If you’ve got cool undertones (blue or red), your foundation should be neutral or pink-based.
⚫Request samples at the store:
Before you spend a big chunk of money on a product you’ve never used before, ask the store for samples and they’d be happy to give them.
Go without wearing makeup: Brave the world and head to the store without wearing makeup so that you can test out products at the counter.
⚫Testing out of the products in store makes the decision to buy much, much easier. Make sure you’re using separate applicators for everything to avoid bacteria.
⚫Always know where to splurge and where to save: certain drugstore products work as well as high end products so spending a chunk on a high end mascara is just a waste of money when there’s a better drugstore replica.
