Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect from a foundation?
A well-applied foundation should make your skin look healthy and flawless. It can help to cover imperfections, making your skin look smooth, but natural.
How do I choose a foundation?
A foundation should match your skin tone as closely as possible, and – just as important – it should complement your skin’s undertone. Test which shade looks best by applying a small amount on your jaw bone. Not a perfect match? ARTISTRY® foundations are covered by a 180-day money-back Satisfaction Guarantee.

What does a balancing foundation do?
A key feature of ARTISTRY Balancing Foundation is that it controls shine. A perfect choice for oily or combination skin, it will deliver moisture to dry areas while wicking away oil where it isn’t needed.
How do I determine my skin’s undertone?
To find your ideal shade match, you must understand your skin undertone. The undertone is your truest, most natural skin colour. To determine your natural skin undertone, the best place to look is on the inside of your forearm. Most people fall into one of three undertone categories: pink, yellow, or neutral. Assess the undertones on the skin of your forearm in both natural and artificial light for the truest reading. If you notice a yellow or olive cast, you have yellow undertones. If your skin has a pink or blue tint, you have pink undertones. And if your skin has a balance of both, or a beige undertone, you have neutral undertones.
It is generally best to choose a foundation with the same undertones as your skin. However, there are exceptions to this rule. If you have pink undertones, but your facial skin is red and blotchy from too much sun exposure or broken capillaries, it is best to avoid pink-hued foundations because they will emphasize the redness in your skin. In this case, choose a yellow or neutral-based foundation to neutralize the redness.
I am so pale. Should I wear a darker shade foundation to add colour to my skin?
No, a darker foundation will look unnatural. Instead, use a foundation shade that has a subtle yellow undertone. This will warm your skin without looking too obvious or too dark.
My skin tone is medium. What shade should I use?
It is important not to choose a shade that is too light, which can make you look washed out, nor too dark, which will look unnatural. Try to match the shade as close to your skin as possible. Choosing a shade with a yellow undertone is a safe way to ensure your skin will look the most natural and give your complexion a little warmth.
I have an olive complexion. What shade of foundation should I wear?
Stay away from pink or orange-based foundations that will give you a mask-like appearance. Instead, use a yellow-based foundation for a natural look that will add warmth to your skin.
I have a dark complexion. What shade of foundation should I wear?
Red or yellow-based foundations, in the copper and soft gold shade range, are typically a good match for dark complexions.
I look really washed out when I use foundation. What can I do?
First, make sure the shade you’re using isn’t too light for your skin tone. You should also avoid pink-based foundations that can make your skin look pale and washed out. Instead, try a foundation with a yellow base for a warm glow.
How does the weather impact the foundation I should use?
Depending on where you live, spring and summer often bring more humidity, so a lighter formulated foundation would be best. In fall and winter, there is often less humidity and drier air. A moisturizing formula may be best during these months to restore lost moisture. If you live in a region with high humidity, try an oil-free, sheer, or powder foundation. And, if your skin gets darker or lighter with the seasons, be sure you adjust the foundation shade you’re using as well.
Should the age of my skin impact my foundation choice?
Using the correct foundation can reduce the visible signs of aging. Choose a foundation that not only conceals, but also helps prevent future signs of aging. Skin tends to become drier, so moisturizing properties are also important.
What is the difference between SPF and PA?
SPF is, literally, the Sun Protection Factor. An SPF 15 means that the product will provide 15 times your skin’s natural protection from the sun’s USB rays. The PA, Protection Factor A, rating applies to UVA ray protection and includes a + sign to denote the amount of protection. One (+) is low, three (+++) is high. A truly effective sunscreen should include UVA and UVB protection to protect the skin.

What steps should I take to determine the right foundation for my skin tone?
- Know your skin type (oily, combination, normal, dry). ARTISTRY foundations and powders provide ongoing skin care benefits, so it’s important to take your individual skin type into account. If you don’t know yours, see the question below about how to determine your skin type.
- Determine your undertone. It is generally best to chose a foundation with the same undertones as your skin. For instance, if you have yellow undertones, select a foundation with yellow undertones as well for the most natural look. If you don’t know yours, see the question below about determining skin’s undertones.
- Determine the intensity of your skin (fair, medium, dark). Intensity is how light or dark your skin is.
- Choose a foundation based on the finish and coverage your skin requires. More mature skin with discolourations or skin prone to blemishes and uneven tone would benefit from medium coverage. For skin that is more naturally even, sheer may be enough coverage. For the most natural look, select the lowest amount of coverage your skin requires.
How do I determine my skin type?
Choose the description below that best defines your skin.
- Oily skin tends to be shiny in the T-zone (across the forehead and down the nose) and on the chin. Oily skin is prone to breakouts and blackheads and may have larger pores. On a positive note, oily skin typically has more elasticity and moisture making it less prone to wrinkles.
- Combination skin is oily in the T-zone and dry on the cheeks. It may be prone to breakouts around the hairline and perimeter of the face. Oily and dry sections should be treated separately with appropriate products.
- Normal skin has a smooth texture, few breakouts, and even tone.
- Dry skin tends to have flaky patches and feels rough to the touch. Dry skin sometimes feels tight and itchy after cleansing. It is less prone to breakouts and has smaller pores. A benefit is that once moisture is put back into dry skin, it looks beautiful, with a very even texture.
- Sensitive skin is often red and blotchy and is easily irritated. It is more sensitive to products, and capillaries toward the surface of the skin are more visible. Sensitive skin should be protected from sun exposure and should never be scrubbed harshly.
