Where should you test foundation to ensure a match?

Forehead
Cheek
Jawline
Nose

The correct answer is: Jawline

Foundation is best tested along the jawline, as this area is often where the foundation is placed and can help determine the most natural and seamless blend into the skin. While the cheek and forehead can also be common application areas, the texture and color of these areas can differ from the jawline, making it difficult to accurately match the foundation. The nose, while a common area for foundation application, may have more prominent pores and oil glands, affecting the appearance of the foundation and making it less ideal for testing.
