Colour Finder

Find the Mineral Makeup that best describes your complexion

First determine the level (the lightness or darkness of your skin) of your skin colour, then determine the tone (whether it is cool or warm).

Use the convenient chart.
If printing this chart keep in mind that colours will differ through colour reproduction.

The range of the level and tone will help to determine the colour choice of the foundation.

When choosing your colour level/tone start with the medium colour on the chart and work your way up the chart for darker skin or down the chart for lighter skin. Hold the Colour Finder on the face, starting at the cheek bone and continuing vertically down the face below the jaw line ending on the neck. A more accurate colour match may result from this exercise.

When using the actual product, stripe that powder colour the same way as described above. Colour may vary due to reproduction. The colour will conceal the complexion that will reveal the correct colour match. Do this with at least two to three powder colours to get the best results.
