Urban Decay Naked vs. Too Faced Born This Way

[AmyIris]

Hello! If I’m a 1.5 shade in Urban Decay’s Naked foundation, what shade would I be in Too Faced’ Born This Way Foundation?

Hi, @AmyIris. 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 number as the one you already use. 

I went ahead & plugged your information in using your Urban Decay Naked 1.5 shade (Color IQ #2R06), and Too Faced Born This Way Vanilla is listed as a match.

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, shade, or brand isn't listed in the Color IQ system. You can head over to those sites to see if they suggest any shade matches.

Lastly, I'd highly recommend swatching foundation shades in-store. That would honestly be the best way to find a match. After all, these shade finder sites are not perfect.

I hope this helps!

Thank you!

I know it's better to go in, but it's hard for me to get to the store.

I appreciate your time!
