Find Your Melanin Match Before You Commit to Full Size

Meet the Melanin Match Foundation Sample Set for Melanated Skin, our Complexion Collection designed to help you narrow down your best foundation shade and undertone while giving you a complete mini complexion routine.

Each set includes four neighboring shades of Melanin Match Liquid Foundation within one complexion-depth range, plus Melanin Magic setting powder and a travel complexion brush. Instead of guessing from a single sample, you can compare four shades side by side to find the one that disappears most naturally into your skin.

Your neighboring shades can also do more than shade matching. Depending on your complexion, use them for targeted concealing, subtle contouring or seasonal changes in skin depth.

What’s Inside

  • 4 Melanin Match Liquid Foundation mini shades — 1 ml each
  • 1 Melanin Magic tinted mini translucent smoothing powder — 3 g
  • 1 travel-size Complexion PRO blending brush — 4-inch wood handle with synthetic bristles
  • Luxury LUV + CO logo box with insert

Why Four Foundation Shades?

Finding foundation for melanated skin requires more than choosing light, medium or deep. Depth and undertone both matter. Each Complexion Collection groups four nearby Melanin Match shades so you can compare subtle differences in depth and undertone on your own skin.

  • Find your best all-over foundation match
  • Compare warm/yellow, cool/red, neutral and olive undertones where available
  • Use a neighboring shade for targeted concealing or subtle contouring
  • Keep nearby shades available as your complexion changes between seasons

Choose Your Complexion Level

Cream Level: LR00, LN05, LY10, LN15

Tan Level: LY20, LR25, LR30, LY35

Caramel Level: LO40, LY45, LN50, LR55

Ebony Level: LN60, LY65, LR70, LN75

How to Test Your Melanin Match

Apply a small stripe of two or more shades along the jawline and blend the edges into clean, moisturized skin. Let the shades settle, then check them in natural daylight. Your best all-over match should blend into both your face and neck without looking noticeably lighter, darker, too red or too yellow.

If two shades both work, consider how you use foundation throughout the year. One may be ideal for your current complexion while a neighboring shade may suit seasonal changes or work for concealing and contouring.

More Than a Foundation Sample Set

Once you find your closest Melanin Match, use the included Melanin Magic powder to set your complexion and reduce excess shine without the stark white cast that traditional translucent powders can create on deeper skin.

The included travel-size Complexion PRO brush makes the kit convenient for shade testing, touch-ups and travel.

Melanin Match Foundation Sample Set FAQs

How do I choose my complexion level?

Choose the level that contains shades closest to your current skin depth. Cream is the lightest group in this set, followed by Tan, Caramel and Ebony. Each group contains four neighboring shades so you can compare both depth and undertone on your skin.

How do I test the four foundation shades?

Apply small stripes along the jawline, blend the edges and compare them in natural daylight. The best all-over match should visually disappear into both your face and neck rather than looking noticeably lighter, darker, redder or more yellow.

Are these the same shades as the full-size Melanin Match Liquid Foundation?

Yes. The mini foundation shades in the Complexion Collection are sample sizes of Melanin Match Liquid Foundation, allowing you to test the formula and shade before choosing a full-size foundation.

Can I use the extra shades as concealer or contour?

Yes. Depending on your complexion and the shades included in your selected level, a nearby shade may work for targeted concealing, brightening or subtle contouring. The set is designed to encourage experimentation beyond a single foundation match.

What comes in the Complexion Collection?

Each set contains four 1 ml Melanin Match Liquid Foundation shades, one 3 g mini Melanin Magic powder, one travel-size Complexion PRO blending brush and a LUV + CO logo presentation box.

Is the Complexion Collection vegan?

Yes. The complexion formulas included in this set are vegan. The Melanin Match Liquid Foundation is 70% organic and the Melanin Magic powder is a simple 100% mineral formula.
