How to Find Your Foundation Color Match with E-Shade Finder
Step 1: First and foremost, it’s important to position yourself in an evenly lit area when looking to find your foundation color match. Avoid areas where there is a lot of artificial light, low light, or an over exposed area. If possible, try to stand near a window as natural light will give the most accurate representation of your skin tone
Step 2: Start the 360° video – a unique selfie video technology. Once you’ve loaded up the video allow the advanced technology to analyze the skin tone and under tone on your face so you can find your foundation shade match. For best results Position your face within the frame and slowly spin in a circle while the tool captures your skin tone in every light angle.
Step 3: Once the technology has analyzed your skin tone you will be presented with three recommended foundation shades. The tool makes it easy to see your best foundation shade match and provides two alternative shade recommendations which can be especially helpful if you tend to be a lighter foundation shade in the winter and a darker shade in the summer.
