[quote=Anonymous]Regarding color matching it isn't that hard.

As a teen girl, I would go to a big Target-sized drugstore section and look at all the makeup lines until I found the less-scented "clean" lines.  I used to use Neutrogena, Cover Girl, Revlon, and Almay.  Then I would hold up the bottles against the inside of my wrist.  Apparently the color of your skin plus how visible your veins are and what color they are (wrist is good for showing veins) gives an idea of whether you have  a warm or cool toned complexion.

There are usually only a few colors in any product line that will be close to your natural shade.  That's true for foundation and concealer both.

Now for concealer, the next decisions relate to what you are concealing.  If it's redness from pimples you need a different tone to cancel out redness (the concealer color adds a color which blocks/blends with the red to reach the illusion of the basic skin tone).  If it's dark eye circles, I think you pick a lighter color.  It would be easy to get the details on the web if you specify the purpose.

I recommend drugstore cosmetics for experimentation.  There truly isn't much difference in ingredients between cheap and expensive makeup.  It's reasonable to try a few different shades and have them not work out.

I have never heard of CVS taking back opened makeup.  Nor would I try that.[/quote]
