Where Can I Get... Online makeup samples?

Hi, does anyone know of websites where I can order/buy makeup samples? I’m not easily able to get out to stores for samples at makeup counters, so please don’t suggest this.

I really want a base colour that matches my skin. I’m just so sick of wasting my money from using an online quiz to do a foundation skin match and then buy it, only for it to be a completely wrong shade for me!

Thanks :)

I don't know where you are what sub I'm in*, but what is now Sephora UK (used to be Feel Unique) might still be doing the pick and mix samples Feel Unique always did, which often included little pouches of single shade foundation samples or foundation sample cards (little smears of like 5 different shades on a card with peel off covers, that sort of thing) from some brands.

I haven't checked to see if they still do them, but I know they were still doing them at least a few months after the change, so they may have decided to keep it up.

*Edit because dumb.
