How do you find the right foundation shade for your skin tone?

Choosing the right foundation shade can be a bit daunting with so many options out there. If you have a light golden undertone, it can be especially challenging to differentiate between warm, cool, and neutral shades. Swatching products in-store might help, but sometimes the lighting can deceive you when making your final decision.

One technique I recommend is applying a small amount of foundation on your jawline. This way, you can see how it blends in with both your skin tone and undertone throughout the day. Have you ever picked a shade that looked perfect in the store but didn’t match at home? What strategies do you use to avoid that disappointment when selecting a foundation?
