Here is a guide to help you better understand the undertones of our EGS Foundation, Concealers, Tinted SPF and Superluminous Products.
Like many competitors, each brand will have their own creative way of determining the undertone of a product. With our products, we recommend first identifying your personal undertone. Here are 2 ways of identifying this below:
- Jewellery Test: Are you more into gold jewellery and all its yellowy warmth? Or are you a cool, crisp silver kind of person? If the answer is gold, you most likely have yellow undertones. If it is silver, your skin is inclined to have pink undertones.
- White Cloth Test: Put a white cloth next to your bare face and observe what cast your skin takes on. Skin with golden undertones will appear yellowish, while skin with rosey undertones will seem blueish or pinkish.
Our Shades will be determined by the colour wheel. You can either choose a foundation shade with the same undertone as your natural skin, or if you want to cancel out any unwanted undertone in your skin you can choose the opposite undertone. For example: if you naturally have a pink undertone, instead of choosing a warm (pink undertone) foundation, we'd recommend a more yellow undertone foundation to help neutralise.
Foundation/Superluminous Undertones:
Warm- this shade is for anyone with pink/peachy/rosy undertones.
Cool- this shade is for anyone with a golden or yellow undertone.
Neutral- this shade will be for anyone with an equal balance of cool/warm undertones.
