Your best bet, if you can’t do a test application, is to hold the swatch or bottle up to your neck. After all, this is where the foundation will end. If it can’t blend seamlessly into your neck, it’s not right for you.

There are a lot of foundations out there that don’t give us the skin-like finish we’re looking for. Besides, the new emphasis on skin care hasn’t made thick coverage as necessary. And even if you do have imperfections, heavy makeup tends to highlight every flake, pore, scar, and line.
