Why Picking the Right Foundation Shade Really Matters
We’ve all been there — you buy a foundation that looks perfect in the store, but the moment you apply it, your face looks too white, too orange, or totally off. That’s because choosing the right foundation shade goes beyond just guessing a “fair” or “medium” tone. It’s about understanding your skin tone, undertone, and skin type.
When you use the right foundation, your face looks natural, healthy, and glowing. With Ferrarucci Foundation, we make it easier for you to find your match with a wide shade range that suits Indian and UAE skin tones beautifully.

Steps to find your perfect foundation
shade and achieve a flawless look
1: Understand Your Skin Tone and Undertone
Your skin tone is the surface color of your skin — it can be fair, medium, deep, etc. But your undertone is the subtle hue beneath your skin — cool, warm, or neutral — and that’s what makes all the difference in how the foundation appears on your skin.
Here’s a quick reference table to help:
🔸 Foundation Shade Matching Table
| Skin Tone | Undertone | Recommended Shade Example (Ferrarucci) |
|---|---|---|
| Fair | Cool | Ivory Glow |
| Light | Neutral | Soft Beige |
| Medium | Warm | Golden Honey |
| Tan | Neutral | Natural Tan |
| Deep | Warm/Cool | Caramel Bronze / Mocha Magic |
👉 Pro Tip: Check your veins under natural light: blue veins typically indicate a cool undertone, green veins suggest a warm undertone, and a mix of both usually means you’re neutral.
2: Swatch Test Like a Pro
Don’t test foundation on your hand — your hand is usually darker or lighter than your face. Instead, apply a little bit of foundation on your jawline and gently blend it. The shade that disappears into your skin without much effort is the one.
Also, observe your skin in natural light, not just indoor lighting. Foundations can oxidize and look different after a few minutes, so wait a bit before deciding.
3: Know Your Skin Type Before Choosing a Formula
Understanding your skin type plays a key role in selecting the right foundation. If you have oily skin, look for a matte or oil-control formula to keep shine in check. On the other hand, if your skin tends to be dry, a hydrating foundation formula will keep your skin moisturized and smooth. Ferrarucci Foundation offers multiple finishes — matte, dewy, and semi-matte — to match your unique needs.
4: Decide on Coverage Level
Are you someone who prefers a natural look? Or do you like a full glam base? Choose your foundation based on the coverage you want.
Ferrarucci Foundation is buildable, which means you can start with a light layer and add more for fuller coverage. It gives you flexibility for both everyday use and special occasions.
5: Adjust with Seasons
Here’s something most people forget: your skin tone changes slightly with the seasons. You might get tanned in summer or lighten up during winter. It’s totally normal to have two different foundation shades for different times of the year.
Luckily, Ferrarucci Foundation blends well and can even be mixed to create a custom shade just for you.
