CoverGirl Department Store Shade Matcher

Check out CoverGirl’s new Department Store Shade Matcher. It currently features 15 department store brands and a few of their products then helps you find its CoverGirl counterpart. Great idea for the drugstore diva! Not all of the brand’s products have matches, but I’m sure they’ll update that as they update their product line.

    i’m a 51 year old African American women who’s trying to find a shade in the Queen Collection. Right now I’m wearing the golden honey shade, which I think is too light for my skine tone, because it leaves me looking dead. I’m afraid to use a darker shade fearing that it maybe too dark. I was wearing Imani’s Earth 4,which was okay, but it didn’t cover well. My chin is my problem area with dark spots from breakouts do to stress. I thought, at my age,this would be over. Can you help me?

      Hi Emma!

      With women of color we sometimes need to use two different shades of foundation to get a more natural look since often times we’re not all one uniform color on our faces. If you’re in love with the Queen Collection, but can’t quite get your shade, you can get the darker shade and mix it in with the lighter shade you own to create your perfect shade. You can also try using Iman Foundation Stick in two shades to match the tones in your skin (usually the outer perimeter of the face is darker than the inner). The foundation stick can also help cover the dark spots on your chin.

      If you need more help, feel free to contact me :)
