Makeup & Skincare - Choosing a Foundation


Expert: Tyla Smith - 8/26/2009

Question
Well, I love to sunbathe. And I'm naturally fair. Thus, my skin tone changes a lot. Sometimes I'm tanned, sometimes I'm fair, and sometimes I'm in between. How do I choose a foundation? Do I need to buy foundations in different shades to match my skin tones?

Answer
The best thing to do is have two different foundations, one for your lightest and one for your darkest and then mix for the in-between times.  Thats the best way and then you are sure to utilize all of your foundation too.  Another route you can go is to get the makeup that you can "dial" your shade in, I think its Cover Girl.  

Hope this helps- good luck!
