KVD Beauty 42 (Lock-It): every foundation that's the exact same shade
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 foundations that measure as the same colour as KVD Beauty 42, ranked closest first, across every brand in our catalogue.
- Matched by measured colour, the same way paint and printing colours are verified, not by name, number, or a guess from a photo.
- Lock-It sits mid-range, so this list runs both cheaper and pricier for the exact same 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, measures the same colour, whether you’re after that same staying power or something lighter.
The closest matches to KVD Beauty 42
Ranked by how close the measured colour actually is. “Identical” and “near-identical” mean the difference is smaller than a person could ever notice in person. “Very close” and “close” are real options, just with a touch more gap.
How to actually use this list
If you already wear KVD Beauty 42 and it works for you, any “identical” or “near-identical” row above is a safe, verified switch, whether you’re chasing a lower price, a different formula, or a shade that’s in stock right now. Formula and finish are still worth checking separately (see what a real dupe actually guarantees and what it doesn’t), since a colour match doesn’t promise identical coverage or wear time.
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 real 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.
