I can never match foundation right!

Lynzee • Mommy 💗 Business Student 📈 Christian ✝

Does anybody have tips on how to buy the right shade of foundation? I usually buy mine at Walmart or Target.

My sister suggested I go to Ulta or Sephora and let them match me with foundation that is the right shade, but I can't afford high end makeup. 😔 I always go to Walmart and find the shade I think is me, and the next day I'm either to pale or too dark.

I try the forearm method but apparently I'm not doing it right. Help?
