Finding the right foundation shade shouldn’t feel like a guessing game.
For many of us, buying a foundation has meant trying to figure out whether a shade is going to look too pink, too yellow, too light, too dark—or completely different once it actually sits on our skin. And when a shade looks perfect on the bottle but not quite right on your face, it can be frustrating.
With 11 different shades, PARI was created with a simple idea in mind: our skin comes in many different tones, and our foundation should reflect that.
11 Shades, Made With Nepali Skin in Mind
Nepali skin tones are diverse. From fairer complexions to medium, tan and deeper skin tones, there isn’t one shade that can represent everyone.
Instead of creating a small range and expecting everyone to find something “close enough,” PARI focused on creating a wider selection of shades that could work across different skin complexions.
But we didn’t want to stop at simply putting 11 shades on a shade chart.
We wanted to see how they actually looked on real skin.
We Put the Shades to the Test
Shade matching is one thing on paper. It’s another thing when you actually swatch the foundation on different people.
So, we did exactly that.
We brought the 11 shades out and started swatch testing them across different skin tones. We wanted to see how each shade looked, how it blended, and whether people could genuinely find a shade that felt like it belonged to their skin.
And the best part?
Everyone found their shade. 
More Than Just Coverage
The PARI Dewy Matte Buildable Full Cover Foundation is designed to give you coverage without making your skin feel weighed down.
It has a dewy-matte finish, giving you that balance between a fresh-looking complexion and the more polished finish you expect from a full-coverage foundation. The formula is also described by PARI as lightweight, hydrating, long-lasting and easy to blend.
And because it is buildable, you can decide how much coverage you want.
A lighter layer for everyday makeup.
A little more for an event.
Or build it up when you want fuller coverage.
Your foundation doesn’t always have to look like a full face of makeup. Sometimes, you just want your skin to look more even while still looking like skin.
Because Your Perfect Match Should Actually Feel Like a Match
A good foundation should do more than cover imperfections. The right shade should blend into your complexion instead of sitting on top of it.
That is why shade matching matters so much.
When your foundation is too light, your face can look washed out. When it is too dark, it can look disconnected from the rest of your skin. And when the undertone isn’t right, even a close shade can still feel off.
With 11 shades to choose from, PARI makes finding your match less about settling for the closest option and more about finding the shade that actually works for you.

Made Here, For Us
PARI has always been built around understanding what beauty lovers in Nepal actually need. The brand was founded by Nepali makeup artist and entrepreneur Deepa Gurung, with a vision of creating quality cosmetics that cater to the Nepali market.
And the foundation range is another part of that journey.
Because representation in beauty isn’t only about seeing yourself in a campaign. Sometimes, it is as simple as opening a foundation range and knowing:
There’s probably a shade here for me.
Eleven shades. Different complexions. Different undertones. Different people.
But one goal—to make finding your foundation match a little easier.
Find your shade. Find your match. Find your PARI.
