How these matches are scored

35 similar shades scored two ways: the overall match on form, tip, formula and wear claims. Anything not listed is not compared and lowers data confidence, never the other way round. Ingredients are shown for information and used by the filters only. Prices are shown next to every match and never change a score. How scoring and confidence work.

Shade colours are sampled from Beautler’s processing of retailer swatch images and are a digital approximation. Prices and stock were last checked when the product was imported; the retailer page is the source of truth.
