Frequently asked questions

How do I confirm the right shade?

Swatch a stripe along your jawline in natural light — the shade that seems to vanish into your skin is your match.

What if I'm between two depths?

Pick the lighter one for winter and the deeper one for summer, or mix them; skin depth shifts with sun exposure.

Do shade codes match across brands?

Not exactly — use the undertone (W/N/C) and depth as a guide, since every brand names and numbers shades differently.
