Le Maquillage

Three questions to your shade.

The method makeup artists use — depth first, undertone second, coverage last — with twenty true-to-skin shades at the end of it. Two minutes, no camera, no guessing. Prefer the long version? Read the matching guide.

It sorts six depths — fair, light, light-medium, medium, tan and deep — and splits each one by undertone, warm through cool. Twenty shades in the foundation, twenty-one in the concealer, every one a real name you can order rather than a swatch on a chart.
