Sheer, blendable color for complexion, cheek, lip, and eye. Built around naturally derived ingredients, and made to look like skin with a little more warmth.
We make color that sits close to skin sheer enough to let skin show through, soft enough to blend with a fingertip and built around plant oils, butters, waxes, and earth-toned pigments.
This site is about how color looks and wears: texture, finish, shade, and the small habits that make makeup look like your own skin with more color.
The collection
Four places for color.
Complexion, cheek, lip, and eye. Each one is built around textures you can wear with your fingertips or one small brush.
Cream color is pigment carried in oils, butters, and waxes. It softens as you work it, presses into skin, and reads as part of it rather than a layer on top.
Warm a dot between two fingertips, then press it on and blend outward.
ii.Powder
Soft focus, in thin layers.
Pressed powder is pigment bound together with fine powders and a little oil. It lays down a diffused, velvety layer of color that you build one pass at a time.
Tap the brush once to drop the excess, then sweep in small circles. Add a pass instead of pressing harder.
iii.Balm
Sheer color with a soft sheen.
A balm is mostly oils, butters, and wax with just enough pigment to tint. It glides on, and the color stays see-through.
Swipe it straight on, or dab with a fingertip for an even softer wash.
iv.Swatch
One swipe tells you most of it.
Shade, sheen, and coverage all show up in a single swipe. Swatch two or three shades side by side along the jawline, then step into daylight before you decide.
Daylight from a window is the most honest light for judging color.
Ingredients
Every ingredient has a job.
Iron oxides
Red, yellow, and black pigments, blended in different ratios to build skin-tone shades.
Mica
A mineral ground into fine, flat flakes that catch the light for a soft sheen.
Jojoba oil
Chemically closer to a liquid wax than a typical oil. It carries pigment in creams and balms.
Candelilla wax
A plant wax from a desert shrub that gives sticks and pencils their shape.
