The shade finder
Find your shade.
Three questions: your undertone, your depth and the finish you want. We map them onto one of six shades and tell you why. Nothing is saved against your name.
Currently showing 104 · Warm golden — the whole page is tinted with it.
1. What is your undertone?
Look at the veins on the inside of your wrist in daylight, and at which jewellery flatters you most.
2. How deep is your skin?
Compare the back of your hand with the swatches on the shade chart below.
3. What finish do you want?
This changes how you wear it, not which shade you need.
Your shade is 104.
Warm golden
Our most worn shade. For medium skin with a golden base.
The full chart.
Six shades, each one named for the skin it was made for rather than for a mood. Pick any row to tint this page with it.
Colour on a screen is not colour on a face. These values were sampled from the printed chart, but the light in your room changes what you see. If two shades look equally close on you, take the warmer one.
Work out your undertone at home.
Undertone is the colour under your skin, and it does not change with the seasons the way depth does. Three checks, done in daylight, are usually enough.
The veins on your wrist
Turn your forearm over in daylight. Veins that read blue or purple point to a cool undertone. Veins that read green point to a warm one. If you genuinely cannot decide, you are probably neutral.
Which metal flatters you
If gold makes your skin look brighter, you are warm. If silver does, you are cool. If both work, neutral.
What the sun does
Skin that burns and does not tan tends towards cool. Skin that tans easily and rarely burns tends towards warm. This check is about depth as much as undertone, so use it together with the other two.
Then match it to a shade
- Cool undertone, very light to light skin — shade 102.
- Cool undertone, light to medium skin — shade 103.
- Warm or neutral undertone, very light to light skin — shade 101.
- Warm undertone, medium skin — shade 104.
- Cool or neutral undertone, medium-deep skin — shade 105.
- Warm undertone, deep skin — shade 106.
