Finding a foundation

Question:

I don’t wear make-up on a regular basis and need to find something simple that I can wear every day. I can’t seem to find a foundation that suits my extremely pale skin — any ideas?

Answer:

For starters, go shopping armed with a mirror. Go to one of the make-up counters of your choice and ask them to colour match you, then go outside and check in natural light if the colour is suitable. It’s best to wait 10 minutes to allow your skin’s natural tone to come through. Make sure that the foundation is applied to your face, not your chin or hands.
