Choosing the Right Foundation

Q: What's a fail-proof way to pick the perfect shade of foundation?

A: Selecting an exact skin-tone-matching makeup shade can be tricky. Foundation needs to be sampled in natural light, but most stores have fluorescent bulbs, which distort the color of the foundation, says makeup artist Leslie Lopez, whose celebrity clients include Catherine Zeta-Jones and Cameron Diaz. The trick is to dab on a touch of what seems to be your makeup match at the cosmetics counter, then head outside to check out your reflection in broad daylight. (If you're a drugstore shopper, look for makeup samples in magazines.)
