Enter your current foundation shade to get your Colour IQ.

Re: skintone numbers

@yakuraharoro - Your Color IQ is a four-digit ID.  For example, mine is 1R05.  The first two digits, 1R, tell you how red/pink or yellow your undertone is.  The second two digits, 05, tell you how light or dark your skin tone is.  To find this out for yourself, you need to go into Sephora.  The SA will use a handheld device placed against your face in three different places.  This will result in your Color IQ.

 

Use the Color IQ as guidance.  It is not perfect, but it is a great place to start.  For example, my undertone is neutral, not pink/red.  The handheld device and Color IQ does not recognize neutral so it only comes back with pink/red or yellow.  I didn't like the color "matches" I was getting in foundations, so I had my Color IQ done at two different stores on back-to-back days.  My results were 1Y05 and 1R05.  This is how I determined I was neutral.  In addition, through trial and error, I found that I'm closer to 03 in depth of color than 05.
