9 Common Makeup Mistakes 90% Of Women Make

7. Testing your foundations in the wrong spots. 

Testing your foundations in the wrong spots

Why it’s wrong: When on a mission to find the perfect foundation match, many smear a little on their hands or wrists for a quick test before buying. More often than not, however, doing this can cause you to buy a shade that’s too dark on your face and/or doesn’t match your pigment.

Quick Fix: Dab a little on your neck and on the outside of your cheek. Your neck color is usually a lighter hue, which means you’ll be less likely to buy a formula that’s too dark for your face (remember, it’s easier to brush a little more bronzer on your face than to try and lighten a darker formula). Strozzi also recommends sampling a bit on your décolletage for even more accurate results. Compare the color on each of the three spots and pick the formula that disappears into your skin.
