How to choose a Foundation Color
|
Our Foundations have two color names. The First word
denotes an overall Tone family. The Second word is an
adjective to describe which shade of that particular tone.
Pick your Tone family... then pick your shade(s) of that
tone...
|
Tone Family
|
Fairest, Fairly Light & Barely Taupe : For the lightest of skin tones. Fairest is VERY pale...almost white. Fairly Light is halfway between Fairest and Neutral Light. Barely Taupe is halfway between Fairest and Taupe Light.
|
Coming Soon New Crimson: decidedly pinkish red!
|
Rose: Light Rose and Medium rose have pink undertones,
while Tan Rose and Deep Rose have pinkish red undertones.
|
Taupe: strongly balanced, almost flat brown tone - Beige. If we could go back in time to when we started, this would have been our "neutral".
|
Cafe: half way between Neutral and Taupe
|
Neutral: balanced undertones leaning more toward yellow
|
Champagne: More Robust Balanced undertones (both pink and yellow)
|
Warm: Golden peachy undertones, for those of you with warmer skintones.
|
Olive: Strong yellow undertones for certain Hispanics, Asians and other ethnicities
|
Mystique: Just plain fine-china white - ghost-ly, vampire pale
|
Note: All of these Tones can be altered with Finish Powders to make them appear a bit more pink, peach, or golden
|
Shade
|
Fairest & Fairly Light : These should only be used by those with the
lightest of skin tones. Fairest is very pale...almost white. Fairly Light is halfway between Fairest and Neutral Light.
|
Light: These shades have a small amount of coloring to
them with varying undertones. Wear one of these shades if
you have some coloring but are not tan at all.
|
Medley: Half-way shade between LIght and Medium.
|
Medium: These shades have a good amount of coloring to
them. Wear one of these colors if you tan slightly, have
natural coloring to your skin, or are pale and use a sunless
tanner.
|
Ferrago: Half-way shade between Medium and Tan.
|
Tan: These shades are for those skin tones with strong
coloring, or for light-colored African American skin.
|
Deep: These shades should be used by the darker of skin
tones.

tones.

Choosing a Finishing / Face Powder
|

tones or an overall golden glow.
|

nationally advertised "Veil".

Choosing a CoverUp or Corrector and what is
the difference?
|
CoverUp and Corrector Minerals give intense coverage for
those little imperfections (that we all have!) while
providing a matte finish and absorbing oil. They work on
minor skin imperfections, redness, dark circles, blemishes,
bruises and even-out skin tones.
|
CoverUp Minerals come in a variety of flesh tones
and are also known by other names of Concealer, Bisque, Multi-tasking, Multi-Task. Many
use a 'lighter' shade than normal of coverup for
additional help with undereye darkness.
