I'm a previous user of your Pressed Mineral Foundation. What shade of your new Natural Finish Pressed Foundation should I use?Updated 5 months ago

We spent countless hours reformulating our shades to create neutral shades that will be a fit for more skin tones while simplifying the choice down to fewer options so that you are more likely to get the right shade on the first try. One significant change is that all of our shades are now neutral, while our previous shades incorporated either cool or warm undertones.

Shade Recommendations Based on Usage of Other Colorescience Products

If you already use our Sunforgettable® Total Protection Face Shield Flex, Tint du Soleil Whipped Mineral Foundation or Sunforgettable ® Total Protection Brush-On Shield SPF 50, it’s easy to find your match, since you already know if you’re Light, Medium, Tan or Deep. If you’re new to Colorescience, first decide which of the four shades you fall under, and then read on.

Light will match with our Light Ivory shade. Deep will match with our Deep Mocha shade. Medium skin tones simply need to decide if they are on the lighter or darker side of medium: Medium Bisque is lighter; Medium Sand is darker. Tan skin tones also choose between two shades: Tan Natural as a lighter tan, and Tan Golden as a darker shade of tan. Since all shades are neutral, they blend seamlessly into the skin, matching a wide range of skin tones.
