Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my foundation undertone?

Check your wrist veins — green veins indicate warm undertone, blue/purple indicate cool, mix of both indicates neutral. Also: gold jewelry flatters warm, silver flatters cool. Our quiz uses 5 methods for accurate undertone detection.

What is the difference between warm, cool, and neutral undertones?

Warm undertones have yellow, peachy, or golden hues. Cool undertones have pink, red, or bluish hues. Neutral is a balance of both. Your undertone stays constant regardless of how tan or light your skin gets.

How do I find my MAC foundation shade?

Use our quiz to determine your undertone (NC for warm, NW for cool) and depth (15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 from lightest to darkest). We show equivalent shades across all major brands.

What color corrector should I use?

Green corrects redness and acne marks. Peach/orange corrects dark circles on medium-deep skin. Lavender corrects sallowness. Yellow corrects purple bruises. Pink corrects dark circles on fair skin.

How do I know what lipstick suits me?

Warm undertones: terracotta, coral, warm red, nude-peach. Cool undertones: berry, mauve, cool red, pink-nude. Neutral undertones: most shades work. Our lipstick guide recommends specific shade families for your undertone.

Should I test foundation in store or at home?

Always test on your jawline in natural light, not under store fluorescent lighting which skews yellow. A correct shade disappears into your skin with no visible line. Our quiz narrows you to 2-3 shades before you go.
