KVD Beauty 42 (Lock-It): the closest match in every other brand
Lock-It is a full-coverage, long-wear pick. Here's every brand that measures as shade 42's exact colour.
The short version
- These are the shades in other brands closest in measured colour to KVD Beauty 42, ranked closest first, across every brand in our catalogue.
- Matched by measured colour, not by name, number, or a guess from a photo.
- Lock-It sits mid-range, so this list runs both cheaper and pricier for a close colour.
Lock-It earned its name honestly: it’s built to sit through a long day without moving, though a heavy full-coverage formula can also go cakey if the shade isn’t quite right. If shade 42 is the number that stopped your shade hunt, this is what else, across every brand, comes closest in colour, whether you’re after that same staying power or something lighter.
What 42 measures as
In our catalogue, KVD Beauty 42 in Lock-It Foundation measures fair in depth, with a neutral undertone (estimated from its colour). Depth is read from the colour of the shade’s swatch, so treat it as a guide rather than a guarantee.
The closest matches to KVD Beauty 42

How to use this list
If you already wear KVD Beauty 42 and it works for you, the identical and near-identical rows above are the closest switches, whether you’re after a lower price, a different formula, or a shade that’s in stock. Check formula and finish separately (see what a dupe does and doesn’t guarantee), and swatch along your jaw before you commit.
If KVD Beauty 42 isn’t quite your shade to begin with, don’t start here. Scan your skin or name the shade you actually wear to get your own starting point.
This list updates as our catalogue does
New shades get added and existing ones get recalibrated over time, so the exact ranking here can shift slightly. The method behind it doesn’t: measured colour, not a name or a guess.
