How do I handle shade matching inquiries online?

As an online beauty retailer, I'm struggling with customer inquiries about shade matching for makeup products. Customers often want personalized recommendations for foundation, concealer, and other complexion products without being able to physically try them in-store. This leads to high return rates, customer frustration, and potential loss of sales. I need a comprehensive strategy to help customers find their perfect shade match remotely, reduce returns, and increase confidence in online purchases.
