Your Words. Our Foundation.

This is a cute everyday makeup look, versatile, quick, easy and just enough glam to take you from day to night. The foundation I'm wearing is the perfect skin like finish with an easy application. #chocolatemousse that's what I'm calling it!

A special gift from the universe for a lost brown girlAs a lost brown girl who grew up without the luxury of being able to find the right shade to match her beautiful melanin-rich brown skin tone, I’m so ever grateful for All Shades Matter for launching their foundation line for people of colour.

I've got oily skin and this foundation is the perfect addition to my ever growing collection. Having worn the foundation a few times, I have never felt so beautiful and proud, giving me the boost of confidence to walk out of the doors feeling like I’m about to conquer the world. It’s so lightweight and doesn’t feel like you are wearing makeup.
Amanda, AUS
Holy grail!
I've waited 30 years for this! Finally a foundation that goes on like a second skin. Perfect colour match, beautiful consistency and FINALLY no need to colour correct. Cuts my morning routine by half, simply rub it in like moisturiser. Couldn't be happier.

Worth every dollar!I

just want to say thank you! Thank you for creating a product that made me feel myself. I am someone who doesn’t like make up much and nor am I great at applying it. I watch a lot of videos/tutorials just to try and get it right. But this foundation is pure magic. I wore it for the first time yesterday for Valentine’s Day and I think I love this foundation more than my husband 😂

But thank you thank you thank you for making brown girls around the globe feel beautiful in their own skin.May your brand grow beyond your expectations.
Zino, AUS
Love itI

love the texture of this foundation. I was scared when I saw how small the package is, but a little goes a long way! I definitely use less of this foundation than others I’ve used before. I great coverage and it feels lovely on my skin. I used the shade natch assist to determine my shade and it got it 100% correct!

Perfect Colour match

Extremely happy with this product . After 20+ years of wearing foundation that is either too dark or too light for my skin colour , its great to find a product that blends in naturally and gives just the right amount of coverage.
Madhuka, AUS
Perfect for my brown skin!

I have tried so many other products that promise on matching skin tone but it never worked. This is the first product I used without mixing others. I don’t even apply any powder, I just apply this because it makes me look like me. Thank you for not disappointing me and letting me be proud of my brown skin!

IT LOOKS LIKE A FILTER!

The foundation is so creamy and blended to my skin so well that I actually couldn’t tell the difference...It looked like a filter!!!!
Foundation smell so clean and natural too, very refreshing scent xx Love

Perfection

I am in love with these foundations. The shades are beautiful and so needed. My clients said they were comfortable to wear and the texture is just divine. I am hooked and my kit is improved adding these beauties to it 🤎
Vini, AUS
Bliss having a match!

Flawless formula doesn’t feel like you’re wearing foundation it’s just melts into your skin with a beautiful matte finish!

Why have I been following this brand’s journey? Because growing up, skintones like mine just weren't seen in stores or the tones that were there were not matched for real #melaninrich skin. I remember in particular during a drama production, when every other cast member was getting their make up done, I was looked down on as if doing my make up was a waste of time and was dismissed by being told to go find some brown eyeshadow to use on my skin. No effort was put into attempting to help sort out other cosmetic areas just because of my skin tone... This is an amazing brand, making foundation tailored for melanin rich skin tones like mine
