Your foundation colour in summer and winter: complete guide

  • See all the colours below in one handy overview.

Why does your foundation colour change per season?

Your skin gets more sunlight in summer, even if you protect it well. As a result, your skin often becomes a bit darker or deeper in tone, while in winter your natural colour becomes lighter again.

The undertone of your skin remains the same, but the coverage or warmth of your foundation often needs to change to maintain a natural result. A summer shade can suddenly look too warm or dark in winter, while a winter shade can seem dull in summer.

Did you know many customers combine two colours to perfectly handle the transition between seasons?

What do you do in the transitional seasons (spring & autumn)?

Most people have a skin tone for the majority of the year that lies somewhere between their summer and winter colour. Not extremely tan, not super light, but somewhere in between. During these periods, there are a few smart options:

✅ Mix your summer and winter colours: The mineral powders are easy to blend together in a jar. Or, mix liquid foundation on a handy palette to get the right colour.

✅ Use the winter colour as a base, and the summer colour to warm up or contour.

✅ Use your winter colour as a base and lightly apply your summer colour over it – Apply the summer colour with a fluffy brush in a thin, airy layer over your entire face. This subtly adds warmth to your complexion without looking heavy or too dark.

Which foundation formula suits your skin type?

We offer different formulas, each with their own advantages:

Mineral powder foundation – Light, breathable, and suitable for daily use. Easy to build up in layers and provides a natural result in one layer.
Compact foundation – High coverage and convenient for on the go. Thanks to the 2 in 1 formula, it covers unwanted spots in a single layer, often making a concealer unnecessary.
Liquid hydrating foundation – Beautiful coverage with a dewy finish. Suitable for every skin, but especially for mature skin with (fine) lines.
