How to use
- Choose your best guess and its neighbor: the same depth in another undertone, or the same undertone one depth lighter or deeper.
- Wear the first mini for a full day. Look at it in daylight, indoors in the evening, and in one photo with flash.
- Wear the second mini the next day and look at it in the same three places.
- Judge the match on your jawline, where the face meets the neck, not on your wrist.
- Order the full size in the shade that disappeared. The $14 comes back as a one-time code toward it.
- Store below 30 °C, away from direct sunlight and out of a hot car
- Keep caps and compacts closed, and never share lip or eye products
- Replace mascara and liquid liners three months after opening, everything else within twelve months
- Patch test a new complexion or lip product on the inner wrist a day before first use

Questions
Asked about Shade Match Duo
Which two shades should I pick?
Your best guess and the one you would be torn about. If you are unsure of your undertone, take the same depth in two undertones, for example 230N and 230W. If you are unsure of your depth, take two depths in the same undertone, for example 110C and 130C.
How does the $14 come back?
As a one-time code toward a full-size Lanternlight Skin Foundation. It is a discount code with its own terms, not store credit, and it counts as the order's one code.
Is the formula the same as the full size?
Identical. The minis are filled from the same batches, so what you see on your skin is what the bottle will give you.
How long does a mini last?
About ten days of daily wear each, which is more than enough to see a shade in every kind of light.
Can I use it to check a shade for a gift?
Yes, and it is the kindest way to gift a foundation: two adjacent shades, and the full size chosen by the person who will wear it.
What if the full size still turns out wrong?
Then the Shade Promise covers one free exchange on that order within 45 days, even if the bottle has been worn.

Leilani T.
Verified buyer
Shade 250O · Medium to tan skin, olive undertone
Settled a two-year argument with myself
I have never known whether I am warm or olive. One day in 250W, one day in 250O, and it was obvious by lunch: the W went orange and the O vanished. Fourteen dollars well spent, and I got it back on the bottle.

Shade 100N · Very fair skin, neutral undertone
Honest way to buy foundation online
Took 100C and 100N. The N was the one. I would have guessed C and been wrong.

Shade 430O · Rich skin, olive undertone
Minis last longer than I thought
Each one gave me more than a week. I wore both depths on alternating days and took flash photos like the page suggests. 430O it is.

Shade 150C · Light skin, cool undertone
Wish there were three
Great idea and the code worked on the full bottle. I was between three shades, not two, so I had to buy a second duo. A trio option would be nice.

Shade 210N · Gift
Bought it for my sister
She would not tell me her shade so I sent her two guesses. She picked one, I ordered the full size, and the duo price came off it.

Verified buyer
Shade 230N · Medium skin, neutral undertone
Summer and winter sorted
I change shade with the seasons. The duo let me find both of mine in one order: 230N for winter, 250N by August.

Shade 110C · Fair skin, cool undertone
Tiny bottles, a little fiddly
The formula is exactly the same as the big one, which is the point. The mini has a dropper tip rather than a pump, so I got a bit too much the first time.

Shade 210W · Light to medium skin, warm undertone
It did what it promised
Two shades, two days, one answer. The code arrived as described and I used it the same week.
