Choose Your Colour



When it comes to foundation. Choose your color wisely. This is how:
  • Choose the 3 colours closest to your skin
  • Apply a swap of each colour on one side of your cheeks all the way to your jawline and blend
  • The colour that disappears with the colour of your skin is the right one!
  • The face is a better option to try the foundation colour on than your hands as you will often have different colour skins on each
  • Depending on the texture and coverage of your foundation, set it in with translucent powder that weighs a lot lighter than your foundation to avoid a cakey look
  • Finally, choose a concealer that is only 1 shade lighter than your foundation

A Coral Base


We naturally lean towards the color pink when choosing a subtle color for the bride’s cheeks and lips. But I am here to tell you not to be afraid to diversify and go for corals.

Corals offer a nice sunset-like base that is very romantic and chic. You can mix coral iridescent powder or cream with your foundation, or just add some coral cream highlighter onto your temples, or simply apply coral color on your cheeks and lips. Remember your blush and lipstick color must be of the same family.

For longer wear ability, use cream based product and set in with translucent or coral color powder.
