What Beaudiani Shades 01, 02, and 03 REALLY Mean

When shopping for K-Beauty base makeup, you’ll often see numbers like 13, 17, 21, 22, or 23. If you’ve browsed Korean cushion foundations before, you’ve probably wondered what these numbers actually represent.

Although they may seem confusing at first, K-Beauty shade numbers are surprisingly simple.

Beaudiani follows this traditional numbering concept but refines it into three core shades—01, 02, and 03—based on real customer data and undertone analysis.

 

🌟 How K-Beauty Shade Numbers Work

Lower numbers → fair–light skin

Higher numbers → light-medium to medium skin

Typical range: 13 → 27

Example:

Shade 21 = fair/light

Shade 23 = light–light-medium

Because most brands do not explain undertones, Beaudiani developed a clear, undertone-based 3-shade system to help customers find a more accurate match.

🎨 BEAUDIANI 3-SHADE SYSTEM

By analyzing Korean and broader Asian customer data, Beaudiani identified the three most commonly matched tone ranges and simplified them into 01, 02, and 03.

✨ 01 Natural Daily

Depth: Fair (similar to Shade 21)

Undertone: Cool–Neutral

Effect: Bright and clean complexion

✨ 02 Cover Daily

Depth: Light–Light Medium (21–23)

Undertone: True Neutral

Effect: Redness correction + natural coverage

✨ 03 Deep Cover Daily (NEW)

Depth: Medium (23–24)

Undertone: Neutral–Warm

Effect: Warm tone balancing + anti-oxidation stability

📊 Why Only 3 Shades?

Beaudiani has historically served primarily Korean and Asian customers, where these three tones covered the majority of real skin tones.

After reviewing over 2,000 shade-matching cases, we found that most customers naturally fell into the 01–03 range—which is why we focused on developing these three essential shades first.

🌎 Expanding to the U.S. and Canada → More Shades Under Review

As Beaudiani expands into global markets—especially Amazon U.S. and Canada—we are actively reviewing additional shade options to serve a broader variety of complexions.

We aim for quality, not quantity. Every new shade must meet strict standards for: accurate undertones, anti-oxidation stability, compatibility with mesh-cushion delivery

Upcoming development:

Shade 04 (Medium 25–27) – Targeting 2026–2027

Shade 05 (Medium-Deep 27–30) – Targeting 2026–2027
