Shade Validation

SHADE VALIDATION

Have you ever wondered if you have the right colors in your product palette? Are there too many similar or even missing colors? We reveal valuable insights!

HOW IT WORKS

SHIP YOUR PRODUCTS

Send us the product samples of your lipstick, eye shadow, blush or foundation palette you want to have analyzed.

SWATCHING & REFERENCING

Within 4 weeks we will perfom color measurements, analyze the product characteristics and document the results.

RECEIVE YOUR RESULTS

Receive a 3D visualization and an easy to read report together with the return of your products.

SWATCHING & REFERENCING

As soon as we have received your products, we will swatch them and prepare them for the referencing process. While swatching we use all our senses to analyze the products characteristics and explore the qualitative characteristics with regards to opacity, translucency, color shift over time and appearance factors such as gloss & glitter.
We focus on color only. However, it is important to understand which characteristics influence the overall color impression of your product to retrieve the most realistic, representative and reproducable color value with our image based measurement system.
The high resolution measurement image can also be used as shade preview or color dot throughout the products lifecycle in print and web.
Which characteristics influence the color of a cosmetics product?
Opacity, translucency, pigmentation, color shift over time, finish, gloss, mono- or polychromatic iridescent effects e.g. glitter, shimmer, pearl, metallic, chrome and holographic.

3D VISUALIZATION

The digital color values will then be integrated into ColorFinder, an innovative web-based application to view and analyze colors in a 3D perspective.
This innovative approach allows to easily understand the distribution of a shade palette within the color space. Gaps, overlaps and similarities between shades within an existing product palette are discovered as easy as never before.
Additional shades across the whole range of product categories can also be integrated and compared for the most optimal color combination and future shade developments.
