One of the most obvious mistakes people make when playing make up games is selecting the wrong base. Wearing make up doesn’t actually require wearing base to look good, but a sheer foundation under the rest of your make up can help your skin tone look more even and help to cover red spots that might be lurking.
Get Help
If you’re clueless about how to pick a base, get help from a sales representative. What she’ll likely do is pull over a card of shades or even hold up the bottles. Test a small portion of the base (when available) on the back of your hand. The one that fades away completely is the one you want. If you can see a color difference between your skin and your base, it’s not the right shade.
Use Your Hand
Unless you want to try various shades of base on your face, you should always use your hand to test the colors. This is because the backs of your hands get about as much sun as your face does and have a similar tone. If a base looks good on the back of your hand, it will likely be just as good on your face.
