FAQ

Questions about Hourglass shades.

How do I find my Hourglass foundation shade?

Start from a foundation you already wear, in any brand, and type its shade into the finder above. We compare its measured colour with every Hourglass shade we've measured and show the closest one in each Hourglass line. Shade names and numbers don't carry over between brands, so matching by colour is more reliable than matching by name. If you don't wear a foundation now, the camera finder can start you off from your skin.

Does Hourglass make foundation for deep skin?

Yes. 4 of the 30 Hourglass shades we've measured are deep or very deep, judged by the colour of each shade's swatch.

Does Hourglass make foundation for very fair skin?

Yes. 3 of the 30 Hourglass shades we've measured are fair, judged by the colour of each shade's swatch.

I wear Hourglass. How do I find my shade in another brand?

Search your Hourglass shade in the main shade finder. It shows the closest shade in every other brand we've measured, and where it costs less.
