Answer 2

I wouldn't recommend this because if you aren't happy, chances are high that you will not be allowed to return the product.  Prescriptives offers a custom blended foundation where they match your skin EXACTLY, so I would suggest going that route.

Answer 3

It's really not a good idea.  It could be costly if you can't send it back or have to pay for shipping to exchange it for a different color or kind.  Go to a high end department store like Macy's and get a FREE make over.  That way you can go on eBay and put a bid on the product and get it cheaper then the department store.  That way you'll not waste your money and you'll be getting excatly what you want.  Department stores have TONS of free samples from EVERY company.. I love Estee Lader's foundations.  There are several kinds for every type of skin..  Hope this helps, good luck.......
