PREP: To achieve a professional makeup application, it’s important to start with well-hydrated and primed skin. This formula will emulsify upon contact with your skin's warmth, ensuring an even application. When using oil-based prep products, apply them sparingly and massage them thoroughly into the skin. Allow these products to sit for a few minutes before applying makeup. If necessary, gently blot your skin with a tissue to remove any excess moisturizer prior to application.
FOUNDATION: First, choose a row for the skin level: Fair, Medium, Tan, or Deep. Then, select a shade based on the undertone:
• Ruby (R) - cool, pink undertones
• Olive (O) - cool yellow/ green undertones
• Neutral (N) - even blend of pink and yellow undertones
• Warm (W) - red / orange undertones
To find the best match, swatch a small amount from each undertone from the same level onto the face. Lightly blend the bottom half of each swatch onto the skin to identify the best match.
PRO TIP: For in-between shades, blend between levels
with the same undertone. i.e O1 & O3 = O2
COLOR CORRECT / CONCEAL: Ruby (R) shades will neutralize olive-brown. Warm (W) shades target blueish-brown.
• Under-eye Darkness: Use a shade one level lighter than the foundation with the correct undertone to neutralize.
• Complexion Discoloration: Choose / mix a shade that matches the foundation level with the correct undertone to neutralize.
PRO TIP: For dark to deeper skin levels, mix the foundation with an adjuster. Use Crimson for olive-brown & Sienna for blueish-brown discoloration.
CONTOUR: Mix a small amount of Ebony with foundation shade to create a slightly grayer tone.
BRONZE: Select a Warm (W) shade 1-2 levels deeper than the foundation. For Ruby undertones, pick a deeper Ruby shade for a cool-toned bronzer.
BLUSH: Mix a small amount of an adjuster with your foundation shade. Select a coordinating undertone for a natural blush shade.
• Crimson + Foundation = Pink to deep red shades
• Sienna + Foundation = Peach to deep orange shades
• Maize + Crimson + Foundation = Salmon to deep coral
