Have you bought foundation & powder online without seeing it in person to match it to your skin color?

Answer 1

Nope, and will never ever buy, You have to buy this from store, apply it on your hand, look at it, touch it, feel it on your skin and then decide which one is the best.

Answer 2

I don't suggest to my clients to buy without seeing the color for yourself first. Computers display colors very differently so they may look one color but in real life they are another.
I sell Mary Kay and one thing I can tell customers who can't try it first is that Mary Kay have a number system to their foundations, perhaps the brand you are looking at does as well. Our system works like this:
100 is very light with no undertone
102 is very light with yellow undertone
104 is very light with pink undertone
200 is light with no undertone
202 is light with yellow undertone
all the way up to
708 is dark brow with pink undertone
Some of the things that I love about Mary Kay foundations are that they come in a choice of powder, liquid, liquid to powder, loose, etc and they have great color choices for ALL races where most cosmetic companies make ten colors in ivory and one color in brown. They are also oil free and very light so that it does not affect women prone to acne to break outs!

I hope that helps!

Answer 3

Probably not a good idea. It would be much more practical for you to go to the store and at least check the color next to your skin first, and then buy it online if it is really that great of a deal.

Answer 4

Yes, and with great results. I use Bare Escentuals, go to qvc.com to the Beauty section, and click on Bare Escentuals brand over on the left. You can look at the foundations on models of different skin tones to compare them to your own, AND qvc has a 30 day no questions asked return or exchange policy if you do pick the wrong one. I've been really happy with mine, and I suggest you buy the foundation/brush combo to start with.

Answer 5

No, but I don't think it's a good idea unless you've tried it before in the store-like the others said above.

I'd go to the store and find the right shade first, and then get it online if it was cheaper there

Answer 6

in case you particularly need help, the two pick a clean foundation so your genuine colour can practice by using. OR visit a dept. shop makeup counter and ask for help. you do no longer could desire to purchase instant, merely get their propose and tell them you will think of roughly it. you ought to objective some diverse shops and notice in the event that all of them propose the comparable propose. additionally, you ought to ask while they could have any distributors (makeup reps) traveling to coach their products to purchasers and return while the seller is their.

Answer 7

Answer 9

Answer 10
