Foundation Shade Match with Catherine


Foundation Shade Match with Catherine
$15.00

Available in studio or online. In person, redeemable with purchase. Online, free shade testers couriered to you at no additional charge.

Discover your perfect foundation formula and shade with a personalised consultation with Catherine. Each appointment is tailored to your skin and preferences.

Finding the right foundation is more than simply matching colour. During your appointment, Catherine will discuss your skin type, preferred finish, coverage needs and any foundation challenges you may have, allowing her to recommend the most suitable formulation and identify your closest shade match.

With more than seven years of experience shade matching customers at The Skin Wardrobe, Catherine brings expert knowledge and a considered approach to finding a foundation that truly works for your complexion.

In Studio Consultation
Catherine will test shades directly on your skin to achieve a seamless, skin-identical match. For the most accurate result, please arrive wearing only moisturiser and SPF, with no foundation, concealer or tinted products.

Online Consultation
Once your appointment has been booked, you will receive a Zoom link by email to join at your scheduled time. For the most accurate assessment, please join the call from a well-lit room with plenty of natural light and ensure your face and neck are clearly visible on camera.

Catherine will assess your skin tone and foundation preferences via video and identify your closest shade match/es. Your closest foundation shades/types will be couriered to you in trial sizes so you can trial at home. Both samples and delivery are included in your $15 booking fee.

About

Catherine Tong, Founder of The Skin Wardrobe

For more than seven years, I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of customers find skincare and makeup that truly works for them. As the founder of The Skin Wardrobe, I’ve curated Australasia’s most extensive collection of Scandinavian skincare and beauty brands, selecting every product for its performance, quality and ability to deliver real results.

While beautiful skin is always the foundation, I believe makeup should feel effortless, confidence-boosting and completely personal. Whether you’re searching for your perfect foundation match, want to learn how to create a flawless natural base, or simply feel overwhelmed by the endless options available, my appointments are designed to make the process feel simple.

Together, we’ll find the products, colours, tips and techniques that suit your skin, your makeup goals and your lifestyle.

My approach is relaxed, honest and pressure-free. Every recommendation is based on experience, extensive product knowledge and what will genuinely work for you — not simply what’s on trend. I want you to leave feeling confident in your choices, knowing what works for you and how to recreate your look at home with products you’ll genuinely love using every day.

I look forward to welcoming you to our Auckland studio, or meeting you online if you’re based elsewhere. Come and discover just how effortless great skin and beautiful makeup can be.

Brilliant

Booked in with Catherine for the Foundation Match consult, no surprises she was absolutely brilliant and my skin looked amazing after she worked her (Lo maintenance) magic and the makeup also survived a hectic day post this! 10/10.

Amazing amazing!

After being a long time customer I was so excited to visit Catherine at her studio. I had a number of gaps in my make up and skincare that needed filling but I needed the confidence of an in person consult and colour match. I’m so glad I finally got there. Catherine is just as gorgeous and friendly in person as on IG! Her passion for this industry and Scandinavian skincare is obvious and she is so incredibly knowledgeable. Totally nailed the colour match with a foundation which feels beautiful on my skin, and filled my bag with all the skincare and make up I needed after showing me how to best use it all and get the most out of each product. Top notch customer service , a beautiful space. 10/10! Highly recommend booking an appointment with Catherine. You won’t regret it. Well done on creating such an outstanding business. I’ll be back and look forward to watching as more brands come along. Thank you x

Catherine's service is always excellent - both in the studio and online. She is a genuine person. I love everything about the studio from the placement of the products and how they all look laid out. The aesthetic is stunning.
