Same shade. Two lights.

A white base can turn a shade chalky. Swatch pale ones by a window first.

Careful with

  • milky
  • powdery
  • soft matte pastel
Why, and how solid

White pigment scatters light and adds a pale veil. On lighter skin that reads as a soft pearl, and on deep skin it can read as chalk. A pastel that goes ashy on you is often the formula and not you. Tradition

Lips

Start with brick. Warm burgundy is the deeper step, deep terracotta the earthy one.

Look for in the shade name

  • brick
  • burgundy
  • terracotta
Why, and how solid

Deep, warm color matches your deep, warm coloring. Pale pastels sit far from it and tend to read faint. Tradition

Cheeks

Choose deep terracotta or burnt rose and check it by a window.

Look for in the shade name

  • warm deep terracotta
  • burnt rose
Why, and how solid

Blush shows your palette fastest. Deep, warm shades look like a flush, while a pale pastel can sit on top of deeper coloring. Tradition

Eyes

Wear bronze on the lid and dark olive to define. Copper adds warmth.

Look for in the shade name

  • bronze
  • copper
  • dark olive
Why, and how solid

Deep, warm shades echo your palette, so your eyes read as part of one picture and not a separate decision. Tradition

Foundation

Match depth first, then undertone words. On deep skin, scan the ingredients for black pigment.

A deep shade made mostly with black pigment tends to read gray. Shade names change by brand, so test in daylight. Moderate
