Tell me when it is out

Before you buy

Is this for you?

For you

  • You know (or half know) your season and still buy shades that read wrong.
  • You want an everyday routine you can repeat.
  • You want to start with what you own.

Not for you

  • You want someone to tell you your season from a photo. The free test comes first: about 6 minutes, no photo.
  • You already shop your palette with ease.
  • The problem is fit, tailoring or skin care.

Asked often

Questions that are hard to ask

A guide that forgets deep skin?
Deep skin has its own page, Book 1 page 30, beside olive, tan, medium and fair.
Between True Autumn and Deep Autumn?
The free test says so. The guide holds both side by side, and the swap is free for 30 days.
Must I give up black?
No. Page 16 marks black as a color to handle with care, and the next page says how to wear it.
Can I return it?
Instant downloads are not refundable. A wrong season swaps free within 30 days of buying.
Worth $29, with free quizzes?
The test is enough to start. The guide is the plan, with codes and outfits.
