Afternoon beauty fix: The trick to finding the perfect foundation for darker skin tones

I have dark skin and have a tough time finding foundation for my complexion, especially because it changes slightly depending on the season. Got any tips?
No matter your skin tone, finding the perfect foundation to match can be a challenge, to say the least. The simplest solution is to buy two shades, one slightly lighter than the other, and mix them together until you create a hue that matches, no matter the season. In terms of foundations that are easy to blend, we like Vasanti Liquid Cover Up Oil-Free Foundation ($23, vasanticosmetics.com) because it is water-based and highly malleable, and available in a wide range of colour options. Cover Girl True Blend foundation ($13 at drug stores) also offers a good range of rich hues that are oil-free and non-comedogenic—which will assist in the protection of complexions that are prone to break-outs. Grab your favourite foundation brush, start blending, and good luck!
