Five foundations with a wide shade range for fair skinned and darker skinned women in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is not the easiest place to find suitable foundation if your skin tone differs at all from the ‘norm’. But these five make-up brands provide a decent range, and they are high-quality products
If your skin is either very fair or darker than medium beige then it can be tough to find your perfect foundation shade in Hong Kong.
While many beauty brands – both Asian and Western – have a range of shades that cater to more people, few available in Hong Kong provide a decent selection.
Thankfully, though, some do exist – check these out before giving up entirely.
Benefit
Most people buy this brand for the adorable packaging, but its formulas are actually also worth the price tag.
The brand’s Hello Happy Soft Blur Foundation (released in July) is a light to medium buildable coverage foundation that feels exceptionally light on the skin and diffuses the telltale signs of imperfection.
The product originally comes in 12 shades, with Hong Kong carrying 10. While not perfect, the available range – from No.1 fair cool to No.10 deep warm – is much better than those that only cater to the porcelain-to-beige range, and the formula suits most skin types.
