If you're unsure whether your undertone is cool or warm, look at the veins on your wrist:
Blue/purple = cool
Green = warm
No clear difference = neutral
Mixing is allowed! You can mix 2 shades for a perfect transitional shade or contouring effect.
The BB Cream adapts slightly to your skin, so the margin is flexible.

Organic argan oil: rich in antioxidants, supports the skin barrier & care.
Hyaluronic acid: helps bind moisture and provides a smoother skin surface.
Rose water (Rosa damascena flower water): calming and refreshing.
Finish & effect: Satin finish, medium coverage, skin feels comfortable and looks natural.
