Finding the right shade of foundation can be easy if you follow this guide.
There are foundation samples and sample sets that are sold on eBay so if you are unsure about what shade to buy this is the best way to go. Samples are great because the foundation sells at retail for $25.00. You can get samples for a fraction of that price!
Most foundation samples will give you many applications depending on how much you use each time.
Remember less is always more with Bare Minerals!
Here is a run down on the colors. Please note that Bare Escentuals is now doing away with the numbers after the color name. Most sellers will still list the numbers in their ads on eBay.
