Buying Foundation Online



So You Wanna Buy A Foundation Online 
But You Have No Idea What Shade To Pick????


Here is what I do....

Let's say I want to get the "NYX HD Studio Photogenic Foundation"
and I need to work out the right shade for me,

Step 1:
Look for Swatches online -



Here is a swatch of the NYX foundation in Sand Beige (Thanks to Nina's page)


Step 2:

Search for a foundation swatch you already use - 

Here is a swatch of an ELF foundation I already own, 
I use shade "Sand" 


Step 3:

Compare foundation swatches

You can see how the Elf "Sand" and NYX "Sand Beige" swatches are similar.


DONE!!

  1. Yes, google is our friend! :) Although it is easy for me: if I want to buy a foundation online then I just pick the lightest shade and pray that it will be light enough lol I'm always pale :/

    By the way I love your new foundation related videos, they are really useful! :)

    2. But what if you have never owned foundation and trying samples in stores are just no good? Its hard to find a foundation of my skin tone and for my skin type. I am a mid pale-yellow coloured asian but I have naturally oily skin and it is also easy for my skin to break out. Could you give me some advice?
