How can I get a makeup match at home?
Our iconic Bespoke Blending service is only offered at 192 Pavilion Road, but our online Foundation Finder quiz will guide you, in just a few minutes, to your closest ready-to-wear shade and formula for your taste and skin type - from tinted moisturiser to full coverage.
What’s more, all orders from the Finder are sent with a sample to try before opening the full size, for an easy swap if it’s anything less than just right.

Is Rose Dew a primer or a moisturiser?
It’s both! With hydrating Hyaluronic Acid, firming Witch Hazel and soothing Rose Otto, Rose Dew is a light day moisturiser that leaves everything plump and silky smooth, while also priming your skin so that any makeup worn will look flawless and last longer.
For dry skin, apply Skin Treat Moisturiser first, but many customers use Rose Dew as a 2-in-1 moisturiser and primer, especially in the summer.

How should I apply foundation?
After intensive testing at the boutique, we find our hand-made Buffing Brush is the best way to achieve a smooth, even and professional finish.
It’s also easy to keep clean and hygienic over years of regular use. Simply wash in water with your normal shampoo every couple of weeks and allow to dry thoroughly in a warm place.


Is Skin Veil a foundation?
It can be! This lightly tinted mousse is worn by some customers as their main daily base, in place of a tinted moisturiser or BB Crème.
It smooths fine lines, fills pores and controls shine, while hushing high colour. It’s also so convenient to carry on-the-go.
But Skin Veil does not provide much coverage at all, so those looking for a compact foundation should consider instead Weightless Cream Foundation. This can be layered to achieve the desired medium to full coverage.
Use our Foundation Finder to get shade matched.


Which concealer is right for me?
Though our two concealers look alike, they have different effects.
Secret Light is serum-based and brightening, with medium coverage. It’s best for normal to dry skin and is very popular to correct undereye shadows.
Future Flawless is creamy and stretchy with full coverage. It’s best for normal to oily skin, and is best for camouflaging sunspots and blemishes, though some love it under the eyes as well.
To get your best shade and formula match, complete our Foundation Finder and select your complexion concern.
