Same shade. Two lights.
berry, #8B1F4F
A white base can turn a shade chalky. Swatch pale ones by a window first.
Careful with
- milky
- powdery
- soft matte pastel
Why, and how solid
White pigment scatters light and adds a pale veil. On lighter skin that reads as a soft pearl, and on deep skin it can read as chalk. A pastel that goes ashy on you is often the formula and not you. Tradition

Lips
Start in berry. Cool red and plum berry are the next steps.
Look for in the shade name
- berry
- wine
- plum
Why, and how solid
A cool, deep berry matches your cool, deep coloring, so it reads as part of your face and not something sitting on it. Tradition
Cheeks
Swipe berry rose or deep cool rose on your cheek and check it by a window.
Look for in the shade name
- berry rose
- deep cool rose
Why, and how solid
Too warm can turn orange by noon, and too pale can read gray. On deeper skin, a white base can sit on top. Tradition
Eyes
Wear charcoal or plum on the lid and deep teal for color. Add silver at the inner corner.
Look for in the shade name
- charcoal
- plum
- deep teal
Why, and how solid
Cool, deep shades echo your palette, so your eyes look like part of one picture and not a separate decision. Tradition

Foundation
Read the undertone words in the shade notes, then test at your jaw in daylight.
Depth is easy to get right and undertone is where foundations go wrong. Brands name shades differently, so a number tells you less than the words. Moderate
