swatched
Tried on skin
Swatched means sampled or tested using a swatch—a small piece of fabric or a dab of color.
In knitting, a swatched yarn has been tested for gauge before starting a project: I swatched the wool to check my tension.
In cosmetics, swatched products have been applied to skin to preview color: She swatched every lipstick in the display.
