How to test 20 shades
We highly recommend using your camera in daylight conditions to capture the shade differences more easily. Here’s our step by step guide:
- Swatch 5 shades on your lower cheek using your finger on clean skin increasing in shade number from your ear to your lips.
- Take a photo of your cheek straight on. Make a note of the lighting conditions and each shade in the picture set for reference later.
Brighter Shots
Understanding and finding your real undertones is important to get a naturally flawless finish and radiate under the spotlight!
The Foundation Samples & Gift Packs product comes with a pamphlet that includes a shade observation tracker and shade chart to see how shades are organized. We’ve added the shade chart below for your reference:
Light vs Pigments
When creating a foundation, it starts with a neutral base and we add pigments to produce golden and rosy undertones. As pigments are added the formula naturally becomes darker. However, a warm undertone may appear brighter under more intense yellow light since it reflects golden hues better.
