    Some of them made me look like a corpse.

    Hey guys! Nina here. I'm a pretty big fan of makeup. One of the hardest things for me, as a woman of color in particular, is finding the right shade of foundation.

    It can be really disheartening and difficult to find the correct shade, especially if the selection is limited. So I decided to visit four beauty counters to see if they could help me get the best shade!

    I started at Sephora, where I found an excellent match with a Make Up For Ever foundation.

    Next, I went to a Chanel counter, where I wasn't too happy with the Vitalumière Aqua foundation shades.

    I went to Ulta next, where I was hooked up with an excellent Smashbox foundation.

    My last stop was Target, where I was recommended this L'Oréal foundation that I didn't totally love.

    Ultimately, I'm glad I got two foundations that worked well for me. For reference, here's what all the foundation shades looked like:
