It's better than not being able to try it at all, but there are a few other ingenious ways to try before you buy. If you tend to go for high-end makeup, then check out KarlaSugar.net before you buy. Karla tests myriad products and posts pictures of her marked-up arms so that you can see the color represented on skin before you buy. You'll find MAC, Stila, Nars, Chanel, OPI and so many more brands on the site, which is searchable by brand or type of product. Some companies will actually mail you a swatch of their product so you can check it out before committing. Zoya nail polish, a favorite of the stars, has created their "spoons" just for that purpose. A nail-shaped piece is attached to a clear stick and painted with the polish of your choice so that you can hold it up to your fingertip to see how it looks. Each spoon costs 50 cents, and that money is applied to any future orders you place. So if you buy six spoons, then you'll have a $3 credit to spend on the nail polish you choose. Visiting Web sites that sell cosmetics and other products and getting on their mailing lists can enable you to get samples and coupons as well, and when you order from Sephora.com, you can choose three free samples from dozens of choices. - << Prev
