L'Oréal Paris Honey Beige (True Match): the closest match in every other brand
True Match's naming is friendlier than most, but it still doesn't tell you what other brands call their closest colour. Here's the real answer.
The short version
- These are the shades in other brands closest in measured colour to L'Oréal Paris Honey Beige, ranked closest first, across every brand in our catalogue.
- Matched by measured colour, not by name, number, or a guess from a photo.
- Honey Beige is already at a drugstore price, so this list is mostly about finding a different finish or formula in a close colour.
True Match earned a loyal following partly because “Honey Beige” is at least a description you can picture, instead of a code. That doesn’t help once you’re standing in a different aisle wondering what the equivalent is two shelves over, and a quick quiz on a display stand won’t settle it either. Here’s what actually measures the same.
What Honey Beige measures as
In our catalogue, L'Oréal Paris Honey Beige in True Match Super-Blendable Foundation Makeup measures tan 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 L'Oréal Paris Honey Beige
Ranked by how close the measured colour is. “Identical” and “near-identical” are as close as our measurements can tell apart; “very close” and “close” have a little more difference. A colour match doesn’t promise the same finish or coverage.
How to use this list
If you already wear L'Oréal Paris Honey Beige 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 L'Oréal Paris Honey Beige 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.
