Getting foundation just right can require some trial and error, but keep these tips in mind: “Don’t match foundation to the color of your neck because it’s the palest part of your body—instead match it to the color of your decolletage,” says Chanel India make-up artist Xavier Bertrand. “And avoid high-coverage formulas with titanium, which appear too pale in the light.”
Xavier also adds, “If foundation isn’t for you, try an alternative like gel bronzer or bronzing powder,” which will give fairer complexions a subtle tan like Kareena Kapoor's, the star looks sunkissed on the latest cover of HT Brunch.

Heres the deal.. My face is lighter than my arms, which are just too tanned thanks to driving around in the blistering sun here. When I apply foundation, (which is matched to my facial skin tone) It just looks like I'm perhaps trying to go a shade or two lighter, as my arms are more tanned. Help?
Desi Lawyer,
That's normal hun, I'm like that as well. There's nothing weird about that. Your arms are always more exposed to the sun (i.e. driving)
Thanks..although I just feel like those 'aunties' who always slap on a base that's too light for them. Never say never i guess :)
