Beauty myth #3: "The best place to try on a foundation shade is on the inner part of my wrist"
The inside of your wrist is fair, and the facial skin is commonly fairer than the skin of the rest of your body - that's why it might seem to be a good idea to try out a foundation shade on the inside of your wrist. The truth, however, is that most people don't have the same skintone in the face as on the rest of their body. Myself, I have yellow undertones on the skin on my body, and pink undertones on the skin in my face, so don't trust the shade of your body skintone when choosing your foundation shade! The best place to try a foundation shade is on the jaw bone, and it should be neither too dark or too light but blend into your own skintone.
