Test Foundation On Your Wrist
We all struggle to find the correct foundation match for our skin tones, but it makes little to zero sense in testing the foundation by swatching it on your wrist because the skin tone of your wrist and face varies.

This way, you will never go wrong with finding the perfect foundation shade for your skin tone.
Whether you’re a bride-to-be who loves to go with extravagant and bold bridal looks or if you’re someone who wants to keep it subtle and minimal, don’t forget to feel like yourself and be confident in whatever type of bridal look you opt for.
