How We Match Shades

Our shade matching system works by comparing two key properties of each foundation shade:

📊

Shade Depth

Each shade is mapped to a universal depth scale from 1 (very fair) to 12 (very deep). Shades with the same depth number are the closest match.

🎨

Undertone

We match warm, cool, neutral, and olive undertones. An exact undertone match plus same depth gives the highest confidence rating.

Confidence Ratings

exactSame depth and undertone — closest possible match
closeWithin 1 shade depth, same undertone
approximateSimilar range, different undertone or 2+ depth difference

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sugar Cosmetics a good alternative to Maybelline?

Sugar Cosmetics (Ace Of Face Foundation) offers comparable shade coverage to Maybelline (Fit Me Matte + Poreless). Both brands provide shades across a wide range of depths and undertones. The best match depends on your specific shade — check the table above for your conversion.

Why doesn't my Maybelline shade have an exact match in Sugar Cosmetics?

Not all brands use the same depth/undertone combinations. If your shade shows "close" or "approximate", it means Sugar Cosmetics doesn't have a shade with the exact same depth + undertone, but the suggested match is the nearest available option.

Should I go lighter or darker if the match is approximate?

If the match is approximate, we recommend testing the suggested shade in natural daylight. If it looks slightly off, try one shade lighter for a more natural look or one shade darker for more coverage. Many stores in India (like Nykaa, Sephora) offer testers.

How accurate is this shade matching?

Our matching system uses a universal depth (1-12) and undertone (warm/cool/neutral) scale to map shades across brands. "Exact" matches are typically very accurate. "Close" matches are good starting points. Always test on your jawline in natural light for the best result.
