What are your go to tricks and tips when deciding what to buy?
I make sure I review everything! Even if it's a drugstore product! I make sure to Google it and look at numerous different sites.
I love bb creams but it can be hard to tell which ones have the best coverage, so my trick is to put some black eyeliner on my hand and then take the bb cream or foundation I'm interested in, and seeing how much it takes to cover the eyeliner. By that, I can usually gage how good of coverage it gives.
Lastly, when you can, always swatch using a brush not your fingers!! 99% of the time, swatches with your fingers look so pigmented and amazing. Then when you use a brush, it is much less pigmented. That's why I don't like seeing swatches used with fingers. I've heard so many times "I swatched it in the store and it looked great but when I put it on my eyes it was awful". I know ulta has brushes there you can use. Sephora may also.
