- Access the virtual try-on tool on our website.
- Upload a photo of yourself or use your device’s camera for a live preview.
- Try different foundation shades to see which one suits you best.
- Save your favourite shades for easy reference.
In Person:
- My favourite place to check colour is to apply a thin layer of the foundation to the side of the face above and just lightly below the chin line - this give me an idea of the match on the face but also how close it is for the neck as sometimes necks will be much paler and so you will want to know how big the difference is and how low you may need to bring down your foundation onto the neck.
- Remember to try and go outside as sometimes the fluorescent lighting in stores can skew how a color reads
Seasonal Changes :
- It is highly unusual that one colour of foundation will match your skin tone especially if you are spend extra time in the sun during summer - most people have 2 shades - one for summer - one for winter and they mix the two for fall and spring
- As a makeup artist it was so rare to use just one colour of foundation out of a bottle and so mixing comes easily to me however each tone we have has quite a range and so we do our best so that mixing is not strictly needed for at least the season you have purchased it for. If you don't go out into the sun the having 2 shades is not necessary!
Pro Tip: Try a foundation with a slight yellow undertone. This can help in neutralizing redness and providing a flawless, porcelain-like finish.
