Collection: Foundation

Foundation

Liquid, cream, stick and powder foundation in shade ranges that include deep and dark skin tones. Brands include L.A. Girl, Black Opal, Nicka K, Sleek MakeUP, Ruby Kisses, L.A. Colors and Absolute New York.

How to choose

• Liquid: the most versatile, with buildable coverage for most skin types.
• Matte: controls shine on oily and combination skin.
• Cream and BB cream: softer, more hydrating coverage for dry skin.
• Cream to powder and stick: quick to apply and good for touch-ups.
• Undertone: look at the veins on your wrist. Green suggests warm, blue suggests cool, a mix suggests neutral.

Common questions

How do I find my shade online? Match to your jawline and chest, not your hand. If you are between two shades, the darker one usually blends better on deeper skin, and two shades can be mixed.

Why does my foundation look grey? The undertone is probably too cool or the shade too light. Try a warmer shade.

Do I need primer? Not always, but it helps foundation last on oily skin and sit smoothly on dry skin.

Finish with mascara, or visit one of our shops to see shades in person.
