How to choose the correct foundation shade according to my skin color?

I would like to know guidelines on picking out the perfect foundation that suits my skin color....thxHow to choose the correct foundation shade according to my skin color?
apply it to your cheekbone and if it blends in with your skin and u cant see it it is the right colourHow to choose the correct foundation shade according to my skin color?
Being a Makeup Artisthat what i can suggest u is:-





check the foundation on ur forehead, cheek bone n on jowline then blends it .


If the colour mergis with ur skin colour dont take it, it ll make u look darker after some time.





go for 1 shade lighter
The best way to choose a correct foundation is to go to the store / boutique with ur naked face (no makeup on) and test it either on ur jaw or on half of ur face (so that u can see the difference better).





U may also wish to try the foundation throughout the day (ie. try the foundation on ur face) and at the end of ur day, judge urself how the foundation fares.
Foundation is gross, natural is way more beautiful
A make-up artist from Smash Box told me that you should try applying the foundation on your jawline. That way, you can see if it would blend seamlessly to your face and to your neck. It would be a shame to use a foundation that would make your face look brighter than your neck--only clowns do that.
make sure that you choose the right undertone whether it be pink or yellow. blend. make sure it looks okay in the sunlight too.
