 Welcome to the Global Goddess Shade Guide
Follow Shalini's Tips Below to Finding the Perfect Makeup Colors For Your Skin Tone!
To Find Your Correct Shade of Complexion Perfection Duo: The color of your foundation should match your skin tone as closely as possible. Remember that foundation should not be obvious, but should match your skin to create a flawless look. Also, don't forget to change your foundation according to the time of year (as your skin becomes tanned - I use the 2.5 color in the winter and the 3.0 in the summer).
I always recommend buying two shades of the same foundation, a darker summer shade and a lighter one for winter. You can also mix the two together to create the perfect shade as your skin tone changes throughout the year.
1. Determine your undertones. Do you have more pink, yellow, olive or blue undertones in your skin? Look at the veins on the back of your wrist. Are they green? Then you have warmer undertones. Are they blue? Then you have cooler undertones.
Follow the Color Guide to Find Your Shade:
1.0 - Porcelain to fair skin tones (our lightest Goddesses in the UK use this shade)
1.5 – Porcelain to fair skin tones with olive undertones
2.0 – Light skin tones with a golden undertone (Our best selling shade which matches 80% of the lighter skin tones)
2.5 - Light to neutral skin tones with olive undertones (Perfect color for hard to match mid-skintones and my color)
3.0 - Neutral to medium skin tones (A warm color with a slight red undertone - great for when you're tan)
4.0 - Medium to dark skin tones (Perfect on darker ethnic skin tones and light African Americans)
4.5 - Medium to dark skin tones with olive undertones (I use this shade on islander women and darker skin tones that don't have a red undertone)
5.0 – Dark skin tones (More red undertones - great for dark skintones with warmth)
5.5 - Dark to darkest skin tones with olive undertones
6.0 - Deep to deepest skin tones (Our darkest shade with the 5.0 shade as the concealor - great if you have two different shades on your skin)
***Please note that all shades ending in .5 are formulated to match mid/multi cultural skin tones – For example - S. Asian, Asian, Latina, Middle Eastern, and Mixed Ethnicities and any olive undertoned skin tones.
