What Is My Skin's Tone Undertone? Lancôme's products are organized by both intensity (I, II, III, IV, V) and by undertone (C, N, W.)

Intensity:

• The intensity of a Lancôme product is organized by surface skin color.
• Hues are organized by Intensity I, Intensity II, Intensity III, Intensity IV and Intensity V.

Undertones:

• Cool (C) undertones foundations and powders look slightly pinkish. Bare skin has a rosy undertone and usually burns easily in the sun. Veins appear blue.
• Neutral (N) undertones bare skin is a bit more even toned, not too pink or too golden. These usually work best for olive skin olive undertones ("green"), but it is still best to test out first on skin for the perfect match! Veins appear a mix of green and blue.
• Warm (W) undertones bare skin appears golden yellow and tans easily in the sun. Olive skin can sometimes skew warm as well for those with a slightly more gold hue. Veins appear green.

How-To Find The Best Powder And Foundation For You:

• Example 1: If surface skin tone is Intensity III (3) - this is usually a medium tan surface skin tone - and at the Lancôme counter 335W, 340N and 350C are all a match, then use the W, N and C as a guide to find the perfect match. Meaning, if 340N in this scenario blends in perfectly, but a more deeper shade is preferred, then go a shade deeper in the 355(C) or 370 III (C).
• Example 2: If surface skin tone is Intensity I (1) - this is usually a light fair surface skin tone - and at the Lancôme counter 110C, 130N and 140N are all a match, using the W, N, and C can guide to the perfect match. This means, if 130N in this scenario blends in perfectly, but it feels too pink, then go a shade deeper and warmer (W).

Lancôme is diverse for all women, of all ethnic backgrounds, nationalities and skin types.
