i always seem to get the wrong shade of foundation for my face. The products I buy are always either too light or too dark. Can someone please tell me what shade to buy and can anyone recommend a good foundation for me? Heres what I look like: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
You just need to try them on before you buy them. Another good thing about department store makeup is that if you don't like it you can return it and get the right shade. You will save a lot of money and time, and the girls working at the counter are trained to match you to the right shade. [ gaffagirl1's advice column | Ask gaffagirl1 A Question ]

It can work out a little expensive because obviously you have to buy both, but it will also last twice as long as one foundation and you will find the perfect shade for your skin.

I've tried just about every brand out there & felt like this type of foundation works the best & is still affordable [about $10-$11 at Walgreens.] I'm somewhat on the fair side [atleast at the moment] & I use Soft Beige. Go to the store & test a shade or two darker [than Soft Beige] on your skin. & I think it might work for you. But like I said, it's hard to say for sure since the picture isn't that bright enough. Hope I helped. :) [ hannahd's advice column | Ask hannahd A Question ]
