How to pick the right foundation

I know a lot of woman don't know how to pick the right foundation, and many woman are wearing the wrong foundation. There are many different types of foundation: liquid, powder, and mineral powder. When you go to purchase your own foundation, you need to make sure you pick a foundation that blends in with the color of your natural skin. Anything off from your natural skin color won't work well on your skin. One great trick, I use when buying a new kind of foundation is that I take one of the disposable swabs and I lightly rub the foundation into the top of my hand, and if the foundation blends in with my natural skin, then I know this is my right foundation. But I would also recommend talking to a professional make-up artist or salesperson, if you're really serious about buying the right facial foundation for yourself. Also, there are many different brands who make foundations, so make sure you do your homework and look around. The foundation I use personally and like is mineral foundation from Mac. When I first bought it, I wanted something that you couldn't tell I had on, and that blended well with my skin. I talked with a Mac representative when I was in the process of deciding which foundation to get and we both came to the decision that the mineral make-up would be the best foundation to go with. I also found a good website that talks a little more about choosing foundation and gives you great tips on using it. http://www.covergirl.com/makeup-tips/face-makeup-tips/how-to-apply-foundation
