Foundation match

Know your shade in one brand. Find it in the others.

Pick the shade you already wear and get the closest one in every other brand we hold: 1489 shades across 20, ranked by how different they actually look rather than by how similar the names sound.

Free, no account, nothing to install. We are not affiliated with any brand here and earn nothing from these pages.

What this can and cannot tell you

Worth being straight about, because most shade finders are not. The swatch colours here were sampled from product photographs on retailer websites, under that site’s lighting. That is reliable enough to rank candidates and put the right four or five in front of you. It is not a colour measurement of the product in your hand, and it cannot account for how a formula oxidises on your skin over an afternoon.

So: use it to shorten the list, then swatch on your jaw in daylight. The shade list was collected in January 2021, so check a shade is still made before ordering, and that is also why there are no prices or stock levels here.
