Why the same berry looks different on fair, medium and deep skin, and how to pick the one that suits you.

Start with your skin

Look at your skin in daylight, by a window, before you choose a shade or a finish. What looks right under a bathroom bulb rarely does outside.

Build it in thin layers

Sheer layers blend and last; one thick layer sits on top. Tap with a finger or a damp sponge, wait a minute, then add more where you want it.

  • Warm cream products between your fingers first.
  • Blend the edges towards your hairline.
  • Set only where you shine.
Less product, placed well, looks like skin.
