Choosing your perfect shade shouldn’t feel overwhelming—here’s gentle guidance to help you feel confident as you shop.

If you’re between two shades

Many people sit between tones. If you’re unsure, choose the slightly deeper shade—your natural warmth will allow it to blend effortlessly.

Understanding our undertones

We crafted our complexion range for the undertones most common in medium to deep skin—rich, warm, balanced, and multidimensional.

• Warm/Golden: A golden warmth that brings light and radiance to the skin.
• Warm/Red: A rich warmth that leans slightly red, giving depth and vibrancy.
• Neutral: A balanced undertone that doesn’t lean strongly golden or red.
• Cool: A subtle blue undertone that brings clarity and refinement to the skin, creating a fresh, luminous finish.

If you’re unsure, our Shade Match Quiz is a great starting point.

How to swatch

Apply a thin stripe along your jawline, blending toward your neck. The right shade will:

• melt seamlessly into your skin,
• remain true in natural light, and
• match your face, neck, and chest in harmony.

Start with clean, moisturized skin, and apply foundation or concealer as usual.

Tap a small amount of powder into the lid, then use a velour puff or damp sponge to pick it up. Tap off excess and press onto shine-prone areas—like the T-zone—to set makeup and control oil.

Apply in light layers, pressing rather than sweeping, for a smooth, long-lasting finish.
