A to Z Foundation Category and Shade List

Alphabetised Table for Easy Look-up

If you know your foundation by category and shade name, this table is for you to find your skin's colour code or suggested concealer and powder products.

 

Refining your choice

This step is only applicable if you have a choice between 2 or more concealers.
Consider the texture and benefits. In some cases, a similar shade may be available in a creamy formula or moulded into a stick. For anti-ageing benefits choose the Dual Action Concealer. For best coverage, choose the Concealer Stick or Crème Stick.

TIPS

• If concealer is used to disguise blemishes/redness on pale to tanned Caucasian skins, you generally select a shade lighter than the skin shade.
• Peach-coloured concealers works best over dark rings on light to medium-light skin tones, e.g. Caucasian with blue/purple dark rings.
• Dark skins, e.g. Africans, generally dull with a concealer that is lighter, so choose a concealer almost idenitical to your skin colour.
• Creme-textured foundations with good coverage can be used as concealer.
