The face is smaller than other parts of the body, and it has more differently-toned areas. Jennifer Charm of Carabella Cosmetics said she likes the jawbone for swatching because of its proximity to the neck and decollete: "The hands and arms won't give as close a match to the face as a region of the face itself. Your hand is not as accurate as your think.
"The foundation goes on the face, so it should be tested on the face to see if it 'disappears' into the skin." "The neck does not get the same amount of sun as the face, it can be a different color completely," warns Lora Alexander of Pretty Your World. Many sources recommend the neck for foundation swatching, but the color discrepancy between the face and the neck proves too drastic for a natural match. According to our experts, the sweet spot for foundation testing is the jawbone. Our panel suggested a region that receives a lesser amount of sun exposure than the cheeks or nose, but enough to allow a seamless color blend throughout the face. INSIDER asked a group of makeup artists to learn the best specific spots for foundation swatching. The best way to avoid the dreaded line of foundation demarcation involves testing the foundation on different areas in order to determine the best color match. But we've all made the mistake of picking a foundation that looks great on our cheeks, only to discover that it's a completely different shade from our necks, making it look like we're wearing a mask. When you're shopping for foundation, a solid color match needs to take top priority.
