How to pick between them
- Neutral undertone: you can wear N shades and lean either way by one step; test both a slightly warm and slightly cool option.
- Medium depth: if a shade is right in undertone but a touch off in depth, choose the lighter of two and warm it with bronzer - it reads more natural than going darker.
Not sure of your own undertone or depth? Run the free undertone test or the skin tone finder - it reads them from a selfie in your browser (nothing is uploaded) - then come back to the matching shades.
How this works: shade colours are the brands' published swatches, converted to CIE Lab and compared with ΔE (colour distance). Swatches are approximations - lighting, formula finish, oxidation and skin chemistry all shift how a foundation reads. Use these as a shortlist and verify on your jawline in daylight.
Let the free AI analyzer read your undertone and depth from a selfie - in your browser, never uploaded.
