When buying foundation, do you get a color slightly darker or lighter than your skin tone?

assuming you can't find the exact shade as your skin, are you supposed to get a shade lighter or a shade darker?When buying foundation, do you get a color slightly darker or lighter than your skin tone?
No. Match your skin EXACTLY. When your foundation is too dark or too light, you can see it sitting on your skin, and that's never a good look.





It's sometimes hard to match your skin yourself, especially in different lights in different stores. So get a pro to do it - someone at the cosmetics counter (if the specific brand has one) or an employee in a cosmetics store. They're all trained to do this.When buying foundation, do you get a color slightly darker or lighter than your skin tone?

Stores will always have a colour that matches your skin tone. If one store doesn't go to another one. If you absolutly could find NONE that matched than go a shade lighter.
