Is there a way to test the color of foundation or concealer before picking one out

When picking out a foundation or concealer, always test the color on the inside of your wrist. The skin there is the most unblemished and will give you a good idea of how it will look on your face.

Don't be afraid to go outside and check it in the daylight as well...

Yup! that is so true. You should always do that.

Btw, vogueboy, you are much welcome to this place As you are a makeup artist (I just checked your profile ), we hope to learn a lot from you

hi michelle. I believe testing ur foundation on wrist is not the correct way. U should always try it on ur jaw line and as vogueboy says check it in day light.
I think this will help u in selecting the right one.

If you go to a cosmetics counter and ask them for help they will generally help you to test for the right shade and also provide information on which foundation will best suit your skin type.
