okay..when i get foundation, in pics, i always come out pale. is this because it's not my skin tone? or it happens b/c i have foundation on? and how do you know if it's the right skin tone..since there's no samples! =(

The color of your foundation should always be one shade lighter than your skin. Also, don't just wear plain foundation. Lightly brush powder over it.

^^^ really? i would get extacly my tone or a shade darker... but you can get one darker and lighter from your tone and mix them.

for foundation u should go to one of those department stores and ask for samples in ur shade. they'll help you find it, and if its too expensive to buy a tube of foundation from the department store just as for a sample so you can browse the drug stores like cvs and find it yourself.

^^that`s a good idea. i don`t use make-up, so i don`t know.

I don't were foundation

I don't wear foundation... =X
Maybe it's the lighting or something?

dept. stores like hikarutakekawa said. ask for them theyr. &wear a shade darker.

lol ok i'm def a foundation expert. I know some ppl tell you to wear a shade lighter or darker, but you need to wear YOUR skin tone, to make it look more natural, same thing when you buy concealor, it needs to be the same skin tone. And you can also get powder to go over the foundation to set it, i do that, and try to get around your coloring too. Go to a department store to the makeup counter and ask for help on figuring out your skin tone and type. Because some makeup will make you break out or somethan like that. So go shopping!

Also, don't CAKE on your foundation! some ppl make a mask of foundation and it totally covers up their natural beauty, just use it sparingly to cover up imperfections and even up your skin tone.

the shade of foundation you choose is toolight, next time get a darker tone

I know what you mean. I think it happens to me because my foundation has a pink base
