Product Information

The No7 Match Made Service launched on the 29 August 2012 and is available in 668 Boots stores across the UK. The range of unique No7 foundation shades were developed after Boots scientists measured the exact skin colour of over 2,000 British women. A No7 advisor will advise on the range of texture, benefits and finishes available from the No7 foundation collection.

Shade: For undereye circles, opt for a color that's a shade or two lighter than your natural skin tone, which "will brighten up the under eye area and disguise the dark circles," says Whelan. For dark spots, look for peach undertones to neutralize the dark brown cast. To cover acne, try and match your skin tone exactly or grab a green- or yellow-tinted formula to help neutralize the redness of the spot. It’s important to avoid concealer that clashes with your natural skin or undertone. A cool concealer on a warm undertone can make skin look pale and chalky, while a warm concealer on a cool undertone can make skin look orange. Concealer to cover imperfections Finish: For dark circles and under eye discoloration, "look for concealers that have radiant or luminizing formulas," says Whelan. For acne and dark spots, look for long-lasting matte finish that will stay in place all day. For mature skin, steer away from anything shimmery or too heavy, which "will look unnatural," cautions Whelan. Instead, choose a medium coverage liquid concealer and apply sparingly. Skin tone refers to the amount of melanin (the pigment that gives skin its colour) in the top layer of your skin. While your natural skin tone is genetic, exposure to the sun can increase melanin production and alter your skin tone temporarily. Your undertone refers to the subtler hue that comes through your skin tone. Unlike skin tone, though, the undertone isn’t affected by sun exposure or skin conditions. It can be warm, neutral or cool.

Ensure application is smooth and even using our beauty tools, including brow, contour and face brushes. Once you’re done and dusted, why not spot clean your brush using our No7 brush cleaner? Product can cake and dry in the bristles, so it’s really important to keep on top of your cleaning routine. In natural light, look at the appearance of your veins beneath the skin. Green or greenish-blue veins suggest a warm undertone, whereas blue or purple veins suggest a cool undertone. If you can’t tell whether your veins are green or blue, you likely have a neutral undertone. The jewellery test The trained No7 advisor places the unique device on the jaw-line and takes two readings. Using a series of coloured and ultraviolet lights the device assesses the colour values of facial skin and matches them to one of the 17 skin-true foundation shades, available across the range of No7 foundations and now concealers. When choosing a concealer shade, first determine whether your skin tone is fair, light, medium, or dark. Cleanse your skin of all products, find a room with natural light, then use a mirror to examine your jawline and determine your surface skin colour. What is my undertone? If you’re still unsure about your undertone and want some reassurance before purchasing concealer, visit a beauty counter and request a skin tone test.
