Choosing a shade is the number one worry when buying BB cream or foundation online — one step too light looks ashy, one step too dark shows at the jawline. At Skin Load we've made this the easiest part: three different ways to know your exact shade before you order, with no guesswork and no wasted purchases.
First, meet the range: 10 shades, fair to deep
Skin Load's Vegan BB Cream Perfect Cover SPF50+ PA+++ comes in ten carefully calibrated shades — one of the widest vegan BB cream ranges in the UAE:
| Shade | Name | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 113 | Bright Beige | Fair skin, brightening finish |
| 117 | Fair Beige | Fair skin |
| 119 | Biscuit Beige | Fair to light skin |
| 124 | Perfect Beige | Light to medium skin |
| 125 | Warm Beige | Medium skin, warm undertone |
| 127 | Honey Beige | Medium to tan skin |
| 131 | Golden Beige | Tan skin, golden undertone |
| 133 | Bronze Beige | Tan to deep skin |
| 141 | Toffee Beige | Deep skin |
| 145 | Cocoa Beige | Deep skin |
Every shade comes in two sizes: the full 55ml for daily use, and a 25ml travel size — also the smartest way to test a new shade before committing to the full bottle. Browse all shades here.
Method 1: Match from a foundation you already own
If you know your shade in any major foundation brand, this is the fastest and most accurate route. On any BB cream product page, tap the FIND MY SHADE button — it compares your current shade against a database covering hundreds of brands and instantly tells you your Skin Load equivalent.
- Open any BB cream product page and tap FIND MY SHADE.
- Select the brand and product of the foundation you use now.
- Enter your shade — your matching Skin Load shade appears instantly.
Method 2: No foundation? Take the shade quiz
New to base makeup, or switching after a long break? Answer a few quick questions about your skin tone, how your skin reacts to sun, and the colour of the veins on your wrist — and the quiz recommends your closest match from the ten shades. Under a minute, no photos needed.
Method 3: Try it on with your camera
The newest and most fun way: tap TRY IT ON and use your phone's camera to see each shade on your own face, in your own lighting, in real time. Perfect when you're deciding between two neighbouring shades like 124 and 125 — you'll see the difference on your skin before you order.
Quick tips for getting it right
Test at the jawline, not your hand: your hand is a different colour from your face. The right shade melts into your jawline with no visible edge.
Check your undertone: greenish wrist veins suggest a warm undertone (try 125, 127 or 131), bluish veins suggest cool, and a mix means neutral — 124 is often your friend.
Between two shades? Go half a step darker — it blends more naturally than too light, especially with our sunshine. Or order both in the 25ml travel size and decide on your own skin.
Frequently asked questions
Will the colour change after I apply it?
Skin Load's vegan formula is designed for colour stability, but give any base product five minutes to settle before judging the shade — every cream needs a moment to adapt to your skin.
My skin is lighter in winter and deeper in summer — which do I choose?
Very common in our climate. The practical answer: two neighbouring shades — the lighter one for winter months, the deeper for summer, blending them in between. The 25ml size makes this affordable.
Is the SPF50+ enough on its own?
Skin Load BB Cream carries SPF50+ PA+++ — high protection for everyday wear. For long, direct sun exposure, reapplying protection every two hours remains the golden rule for any product.
