Swatch your skin. In natural light, make a stripe of
the founda on from your cheek to your jaw line,
and gently blend it into your skin. Now do the same
with another founda on that's one shade lighter
and another that's one shade darker. The shade
that's impercep ble should be your pick, but double
-check it against your forehead, since some women
tend to be darker here. If it works in both areas,
you've picked a winner.
Keep up with the seasons. I recommend having two
founda ons on hand—one for the winter months,
when your skin is naturally paler, and one for the
summer months, when your skin is slightly darker.
For those in-between months, blend the two to develop your own custom shade. And year-round, mix
the two to address any areas where your skin is
