JANE IREDALE COLOR GUIDES
COURTESY OF JANE

COOL-TONED BASES (In order from light to dark) |
| In
color-coding, people who have cool undertones are referred to as
Winter or Summer because of the underlying blue tone to skin, hair,
eyes, teeth, etc. Winters and Summers usually tan easily, although
Summers will have more sun-damage because they tend to have fairer
complexions.
Use the combinations
below, as a guide only. Many times, Winters have olive or strong
yellow tones to their skins – Asians, for example. They are much
better wearing a yellow base so that makeup doesn’t appear to lay on
top of the skin and look like a mask. However, the cool blush, eye
shadows and lipsticks best enhance their features making teeth
whiter and eyes brighter.

Light Beige |

pink undertones. |

Honey Bronze |
Medium/Tan with pink

|
WARM-TONED BASES (In order from light to dark) |
| In
color-coding, people who have warm undertones are referred to as
Spring or Autumn because of the underlying yellow tone to skin,
hair, eyes, teeth, etc. Springs and Autumns do not tan easily. They
may tan eventually but usually burn first. Sun protection is
important for all skin types, but it is essential for Springs and
Autumns. Also included in this section are our darker bases, all of
which have yellow/gold undertones. The global shades are best
combined with cool blushes, eye and lip colors. |

The important thing to
realize about this makeup is its versatility. It can be as simple or as
intricate as you wish. Blend base colors together, use blush on eyes,
lipsticks as blush, brow colors as hair touch-ups. It's being used on
film sets and television, fashion photo shoots, in salons and spas, and
by the most highly regarded physicians in the world.
This is what makeup should
be. It beautifies the skin and makes it look younger; it assists in its
overall health, and gives meaningful protection.
