Anyone who wears foundation will know how much of a laborious task it is to find your perfect shade, especially when you're on the hunt for new make-up.Normally, choosing a new foundation can take hours of trawling around the beauty aisles in search of something that doesn&rsquo;t make you look washed out, or orange, and finding a shade that actually matches your skin tone when you walk outside is seldom. And how about when you're stretched for time - which is daily - so you have to head online to purchase a new foundation?If you're anything like us, when it comes to buying make-up online - especially if you want to try a new range - it's a bit of a guessing game which normally involves you trying to match your skin colour to a tiny patch on the screen.<img alt class="ci-image ci-hero" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/makeup-products-tools__hero_GL?scl=1">Wouldn't it be great if there was an invention to get rid of all this hassle?
