Shade Matching: Very Light Ochre suits those with a super fair complexions and yellow undertones. Very Light Pink Ivory suits those with super fair complexions and cool undertones, due to its ivory pink-toned base. Ivory suits those with fair complexions and neutral undertones, though it can be used by those with cool undertones to tone down pinkness of skin if preferred. Apricot suits those with medium complexions and warm, apricot/peach undertones. Rose Petal suits those with medium complexions and cool, pink undertones. Neutral suits those with medium complexions and neutral undertones. Cappucino suits those with darker complexions and warm, orange undertones. Chocolate suits those with darker complexions and neutral undertones. Topaz suits those with darker complexions and yellow undertones. Bronze suits those with dark complexions and warm, orange/red undertones. Hazelnut suits those with dark complexions and neutral/cool undertones. Carob suits those with dark complexions and a yellow undertone. Dark Mahogany suits those with very dark complexions and a a warm/red undertone. Mocha suits those with very dark complexions and a neutral/cool undertone. NOTE: If you suit colours like gold, copper, bronze, orange-reds and earthy tones, then your skin is likely to have peach, yellow or golden undertones and so would suit a warm-toned foundation. If you suit colours like magenta, silver, grey, blue-red or jewel tones, then your skin is likely to have cool undertones with pink, red or blue undertones and so would suit a cool-toned or neutral foundation. If you prefer to disguise pink tones to your skin, then a neutral-toned foundation would achieve that. If you look good in any of these colours, then your skin is likely to have neutral/mixed undertones. If unsure, check the veins on your arms, as those with cool-toned complexions have blue or purple veins, whilst those with warm complexions tend to have green veins, and if you cannot decide, then you most likely have neutral undertones.
