Hourglass Vanish Foundation Stick Shade?

[Barus]

Hi, I'm shade 200 Shortbread in Huda Beauty foundation, 150 in Fenty Beauty and light 45 neutral in KVD. What shade in Hourglass foundation stick should I get? 

Thank you,

B 🙂

Hi, @Barus. I'd recommend using Sephora's Color IQ to help find shade matches.

Here's the link: https://www.sephora.com/color-iq

If you do not have a Color IQ number yet, don't worry. You can search the brand you currently wear, select your foundation formula & shade, and then click "match me." You'll then see a list of foundations that have the same Color IQ as the one you already use. You also have the option to adjust the shade (lighter or darker) and/or filter the results further.

Findation DOT com and Temptalia's Foundation Matrix are two other sites that work in a similar fashion. These are also good places to go if a particular match or brand isn't listed in the Color IQ system.

I went ahead and plugged your information into the sites mentioned above, and this is what I found:

• Huda Shortbread 200B (Color IQ #2Y03) was the only one of your foundations that listed a Hourglass Vanish Foundation Stick match. The match was to the shade Shell.  
• Findation DOT com suggested the shade Shell as well.
• Temptalia listed the shades Shell and Ivory as possible matches. 

I'd recommend picking the shade whose description fits you the best. If you feel that you're a true neutral, pick Shell. If you think your undertone is a little more on the cool side, go with Ivory. 

Lastly, I'd highly recommend swatching the Hourglass foundation shades in-store. That would honestly be the best way to find a match.

I hope this helps!
