- Enter as many shades as possible that you’ve used before. The more shades you enter, the better your recommendations will be.
- Only tell us colours that are a good match for your skin. Would you buy that same colour again? If not, don’t enter it.
- Don’t guess, if you can’t remember exactly which colour you used. Go check the packaging just to make sure!
