Which foundation suits you? Find your shade in 3 steps.

With mineral foundation, a good match comes down to the right shade depth and the right undertone. The most beautiful foundation should barely be visible on your skin; it should look natural. With the Colour Match you first make a smart selection and then test it on your own skin.

01 · SHADE DEPTH

First determine your shade depth

Start with how light or dark your skin naturally is. The quiz then helps you further with undertone and nuance.

01 · Shade depth

First determine your skin's shade depth

By shade depth we mean how light or dark your skin naturally is. This is separate from your undertone. Look mainly at your jawline, neck and areas of your face with little redness.

Does your skin fit best under very light, light, medium or deep? Based on that, choose two or three foundation shades that are close in depth. You can then compare further on undertone and test the best match on your jawline.

Find your foundation shade

Answer a few short questions and discover three foundation shades most likely to suit your skin.

Stap 1 van 3

Jouw kleurmatch

Vind drie foundationkleuren die bij jouw huid kunnen passen.

Beantwoord een paar korte vragen. Je krijgt drie kansrijke tinten om thuis op je kaaklijn te vergelijken.

Stap 1

Welke foundationvorm wil je gebruiken?

Kies de vorm die jij het liefst gebruikt. Los mineraal poeder biedt de meeste kleuropties. Bij geperst krijg je een advies uit onze geperste tinten.

Stap 2

Welke huiddiepte komt het dichtst bij jouw huid?

Kijk naar je kaaklijn en hals in natuurlijk daglicht. Kies niet op basis van de binnenkant van je pols. Twijfel je tussen twee dieptes? Kies dan de tussenstap.

Stap 3

Wat herken je het meest in de ondertoon van je huid?

Kijk vooral naar je kaaklijn en hals en probeer tijdelijke roodheid buiten beschouwing te laten.

Extra hulp

Ondertoon is soms lastig te zien.

Gebruik sieraden, zonreactie en de kleur van je aders alleen als aanwijzingen. Geen van deze kenmerken bepaalt op zichzelf je ondertoon.

Zilver versus goud
Zilver oogt vaak rustiger bij koel; goud vaker bij warm. Beide kunnen passen bij neutraal.

Zon
Snel rood worden kan richting koel wijzen; gemakkelijker goudbruin worden vaker richting warm of olijf.

Aders
Blauw/paars kan richting koel wijzen, groener richting warm of olijf.

Nog één verfijning

Welke nuance herken je het meest?

Kies wat het dichtst in de buurt komt. Twijfel je? Dan houden we de resultaten bewust wat breder.

Snelle route

Welke Creative Cosmetics-kleur gebruik je nu?

We gebruiken jouw huidige kleur als uitgangspunt en vertalen die naar de gewenste foundationvorm.

Jouw kleurmatch

Deze kleuren zouden het beste bij je kunnen passen.

Laat je kaaklijn beslissen

Een kleur kan op je huid anders uitpakken dan op de foto. Ga dus niet alleen af op de fotokleur, maar test de tinten naast elkaar op je kaaklijn in natuurlijk daglicht. De kleur die het rustigst in je huid verdwijnt, is meestal de beste match. Is je gezicht duidelijk donkerder door zon of zelfbruiner? Vergelijk dan extra goed met je hals.

02 · UNDERTONE & TESTING

Then refine your match further

Want to better understand why a shade works? Check your undertone and then test your selection on the jawline in natural daylight.

02 · Undertone

Find your undertone

Your undertone is the subtle colour beneath your skin tone. It determines whether a foundation blends naturally with your skin, even when the shade depth already seems right.

Cool often has a rosy, reddish or slightly bluer glow.
Neutral sits nicely balanced between cool and warm.
Warm more often has a golden, yellow or peachy glow.
Olive has a subtle green-gold undertone and often looks less pink or orange.

Look mainly at your jawline and neck, not just at redness in your face. Then compare a few shades within the same depth to see which disappears into your skin most naturally.

03 · Skin test

Let your jawline decide

Apply small stripes side by side where face and neck meet. Look at them in daylight and choose the shade that blends most calmly with your own skin tone.

03 · TESTING

How to test foundation at home

The right shade does not stand out as a makeup colour. It blends calmly into your neck and still looks believable in natural light.

TRY IT AT HOME AT YOUR OWN PACE

Test at least two promising shades

Place two or three small stripes side by side on your jawline. Give the product a moment to settle on the skin and then assess again in daylight.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN COVERAGE

Build up your coverage in layers

Wait a moment between layers so the mineral powder can blend beautifully with your skin through warmth and natural skin oils. This keeps the result natural and prevents you from using too much product. You decide how much coverage you want.

Choosing foundation: frequently asked questions

Start with your shade depth and then compare different undertones. Test two or three promising shades on the jawline and choose the one that stands out least.

A warm undertone often looks golden or peachy, a cool one rather pink, and a neutral one sits in between. Look not only at redness in the face, but also at the neck and jawline.

On the jawline, where face and neck meet. Your hand or wrist can differ noticeably from the colour of your face.

Test both shades side by side. Choose the one that matches most calmly at that moment, or combine two shades when your skin tone changes between seasons.

Yes. With foundation samples and sets you can compare several shades side by side at home before choosing a full-size product.

Yes. Sunlight and seasons can change your shade depth. Check your match again when your current shade suddenly looks too light or too dark.
