Wear your foundation/concealer on another day as practice
If you’re getting married in the summer, then try out your foundation before your big day to see how it wears in that kind of weather. You may notice it fades, gets cakey, or oxidizes throughout the day - in which case, you may want to find a different foundation to wear.
Let your skin tone and undertone guide your makeup color choices.
Whilethere are specific skin types (identified from 1-6) for dermatological purposes, makeup companies use their own terminology to describe their makeup colors along the continuum of skin tone. And they aren’t particularly consistent at that. For example, one company might call its lightest foundation “ivory” while another calls the same color “fair.” Thus, in thinking about colors that match your skin tone, it’s best to first think broadly in terms of the range from "fair" to "medium" to "deep."
