How can I shade match? Which complexion product should I choose?Updated 13 hours ago

Are you unsure of your shade match?
 
Contact us to identify at least 3-5 shade names of complexion products you normally use from other brands as references. If you already use one of our complexion products (such as the Yummy Skin Serum Foundation), refer to the shade conversion chart on our website as a guide.

Please make sure to also specify which of our complexion products you want to be shade matched in when you contact us. For the best accuracy, we highly encourage visiting Sephora's website to see which of their stores carry our products in person to test out. Sephora has beauty experts online and in their stores to help with shade matching.
