JANE IREDALE COLOR GUIDES 

COURTESY OF JANE IREDALE MINERAL MAKEUP

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 Fair with pink undertones.
Natural Medium Fair with pink undertones.
Honey Bronze Medium/Tan with pink undertones. Also use as a blush.

 

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.
Warm Silk Fair with yellow undertones. Almost a universal color.
Amber Medium Fair with yellow undertones.
Warm Sienna Medium Fair with strong yellow undertones. This also works well on Asian skins.
Golden Glow Medium with yellow/gold undertones. This is a mixture of Warm Sienna and Latte.
Latte Medium/Dark with yellow/brown undertones. Also use as a bronzer.
Caramel Medium/Dark with yellow/gold undertones.
Autumn Medium/Dark with strong gold undertones.
Teakwood Medium/Dark with gold/pink undertones.
Riviera Medium/Dark with yellow/brown undertones.
Fawn Medium/Dark with a slight green undertone, for Indian/Asian skins.
Coffee Dark with gold undertones.
Maple Dark with gold undertones. Use also as a bronzer.
Chestnut Dark with red/gold undertones.
Terra Very Dark with yellow undertones.

 

NEUTRALS
Ivory Our lightest base.
Bisque Very light with slight hint of yellow.
Satin Mid-way between Bisque and Suntan. Use on someone who isn’t obviously warm or cool.
Radiant Medium with brown undertones. No yellow or pink. Good on all skin tones including Asian.
Suntan Medium/Tan. Works well on cool and warm skin tones. Also use as a bronzer.

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.
