I bought a foundation with a shade that matches my skin, but the quality isn’t very good, so now I’m looking for a new foundation from a different brand. I’m thinking of applying my old foundation to my hands and a new foundation next to them to see if they match. Is this how I should go about doing it without involving my face?

    Your skin on your hands are different from your face. It’s better to swatch on your face.

    I’m pale and the only way for me to match is on my face. My hands are pale but trying to match that way doesn’t work.

    I’ve done this before and I think it works great! The shade match was pretty good as long as I have the shade of the old foundation to compare to side by side!
