Choosing the right shade of foundation
Sometimes it can be difficult to know which shade of foundation to choose, especially when shopping online. That's why we've created a shade-guide to help you along the way when you are choosing which foundation suits your skin tone the best.
Undertones.
We have developed a medium-coverage foundation that has a slightly transparent formula and a neutral color scale that neither goes more towards the warm nor the cold direction. This means that your own undertone shines through and you can easily choose a shade based on how light/deep your skin tone is, regardless of whether your undertone is cool, warm, neutral or olive.
Because of this, each shade has a range, where two people with slightly different skin tones can use the same foundation shade with equally great results. Below, you can see examples of two people with different undertones, who are both wearing foundation shade Shade 30:
Our foundation is buildable, so you can easily build up the degree of coverage on desired areas. At the same time, the medium coverage formula also allows freckles to shine through.
