How to Choose Your Shades (Quick Guide)

When you’re shopping on Amazon, these quick checks help you choose the best match on the first try:

Match to your neck/chest (not the redness in your cheeks) so your face blends naturally.

Find your undertone: cool (pink/rosy), warm (golden/peach), or neutral (a mix).

Use Amazon photo reviews: look for someone with a similar depth/undertone and compare photos in natural light.

For Balance-n-Brighten, start with a light layer and build. Thin layers look the most skin-like.

Concealer: under-eye = 1 shade lighter than foundation (brightening). Blemishes/redness = match your foundation (blends in).

Blush/bronze/highlight are forgiving: warm undertones usually love peach/coral/gold; cool undertones usually love rose/berry/silver-pink.

If you’re between two foundation shades, choose the slightly lighter one and warm it up with blush/bronze.




What you do: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry (don’t rub).

Quick tip: If your skin is dry, use lukewarm water and avoid harsh scrubs before makeup.





What you do: Apply moisturizer and let it sink in for 1–2 minutes.

Quick tip: Even oily skin needs hydration—light moisturizer helps makeup look smoother.




What you do: Apply a pea-sized amount of Spackle Primer. Smooth it over your face, then wait 60 seconds before foundation.

Quick tip: Focus on the center of your face (nose/cheeks/forehead) where texture shows most.

What you do: Use a fluffy brush and apply the baked powder foundation in light layers. Buff in gentle circles and build only where you need it.

Quick tip: Start in the center of your face and blend outward for the most natural finish.

What you do: Tap concealer under eyes and on any redness/blemishes. Blend gently with your finger or a small sponge.

Quick tip: Use a tiny amount—build slowly to avoid creasing under the eyes.

What you do: Optional: Set the T-zone (or under eyes) with a light dusting of setting powder.

Quick tip: Because Balance-n-Brighten is already a powder foundation, many people only set the oily areas.

What you do: Sweep blush/bronze where the sun naturally hits—cheeks, temples, and lightly along the hairline.

Quick tip: Use a light hand and build gradually—baked formulas look best in thin layers.

What you do: Optional: Add a soft glow to cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and cupid’s bow.

Quick tip: For a natural look, keep highlight higher on the cheekbone and away from textured areas.

What you do: Choose one neutral shade for the crease and one shimmer for the lid. Blend edges softly.

Quick tip: A simple two-shade eye look is the fastest way to look polished.

What you do: Optional: Line the upper lash line (tightline or a soft smudge).

Quick tip: For a softer look, apply along the lashes and gently smudge with a small brush.

What you do: Apply mascara from the roots to the tips using a slight wiggle motion.

Quick tip: One coat for everyday, two coats for more drama—let the first coat set for a few seconds.
