Loreal have a new foundation called True Match. Just test a small amount on the top of your hand and if it blends good there it will look great on your face.I have a hard time picking out makeup foundation. How to you find the ';right'; color for you?
Put it on the inside of your wrist.
Well I am a makeup artist and I get this question alot so her you go:
To even out your skin's appearance and create the illusion of flawless skin, head to the cosmetics counter. The right foundation can do wonders.
Steps:
1. Consider your skin type. If you have oily skin, stick with an oil-free formula. If you have drier skin, select a creamier formula that offers moisturizing benefits.
2. Decide what type of look you'd like to achieve. Foundations can offer sheer to heavy coverage and finishes that range from satiny to matte.
3. Test the colors of your preferred formula on your jawline, which offers the truest facial coloring. Any foundation will look slightly darker in the bottle, so keep this in mind when assessing your options.
4. Blend in the foundation gently with a makeup sponge. The foundation should disappear into your skin. If you find you're between shades, blend two colors together, or keep looking for a brand that offers the perfect shade.
5. Bring a hand mirror along so you can view your options in natural light.
6. Look for yellow-toned foundation or tinted moisturizer if you're Caucasian or Asian; Hispanics should opt for foundation or tinted moisturizers with yellow-orange undertones. If you are African-American, it's a good idea to use light, medium and dark shades of foundation to allow for different gradations of color on different parts of your face.
7. Remember that you have plenty of options to choose from, so if you don't find a good color match, keep looking.
Tips:
For sheer, no-nonsense coverage, consider using a tinted moisturizer.
Look for the many extras some foundation formulas offer, such as sunscreen or ingredients that hide fine lines.
Most skin colors, african, caucasian, or asian, have some yellow undertones in them. The darker the skin, the darker the shade of yellow. So choose a foundation with yellow undertones in them so that it will blend in nicely and not look painted on when applied.
Hope that helps you. Let me know.

Have a professional at the department store match it for you. I always had a horrible time trying to do it myself and now I have a perfect foundation from Estee lauder.
You can go to a make-up counter at a department store and they can mix shades together to make one that's perfect for you.
well when u go to the store take at least 3 samples...put them on your jawline, after a few min. check and look which one disappears into your skin, once u find it...THAT ONE IS THE ONE FOR U!
Well, first off, never test foundation on your hand unless that's where you plan on wearing it. Go to a department store (with a clean face) and have them test different shades on you. Don't just look in the mirror in the store (the lighting in dept. stores is terrible). Take a mirror and go outside or by a window so that you can see how it looks in natural light. This is the only way to truly match your tone. Sometimes two different shades have to be mixed but it's not a big deal. I do it for myself and my clients all of the time. Hope this helps!
Go to one of the makeup counters and ask someone. Alot of them will be very helpful and you can tell them that you don't want to spend the money unless your sure your getting your money's worth.
At the wal-mart near me, they have a Cover Girl staion where you put ur hand under a film of plastic that has different color samples...which ever color disappears the most is the right color for you!
