To choose a pressed powder foundation shade, test two or three close options along your jawline and check them in natural light. The right shade disappears into both your face and neck without looking lighter, darker, or more orange or pink. Powder can look slightly different once it is on the skin, so testing matters more than judging the pan.
Step-by-step shade matching
- Start with clean, moisturized skin.
- Pick two or three shades that look close to your skin.
- Swipe each on your jawline in a small stripe.
- Check in daylight. Indoor lighting can distort color.
- Choose the stripe that disappears.
Check your undertone
| Undertone | Clues | Shades to look for |
|---|---|---|
| Warm | Skin looks golden or peachy | Yellow or golden-based shades |
| Cool | Skin looks pink or rosy | Pink-based shades |
| Neutral | A mix of both | Balanced shades |
What if you're between two shades?
- Choose the one that matches your neck, so your face and neck look consistent.
- Use the lighter shade on the center of the face and the deeper one around the edges.
- Remember that skin often changes slightly with the seasons.

Common shade mistakes
- Testing on the hand. Hands and faces are often different colors.
- Judging in the bathroom only. Check in daylight too.
- Ignoring the neck. A match on the cheek can still leave a line at the jaw.
