Dan Read Cosmetics will match Your inherent skin undertones!

Have you ever bought a new foundation only to discover when you put it on that it wasn’t the right shade for your skin tone?

At that point it doesn’t matter whether you paid $5 or $50 for it, you still have to go back to the store and try again.

That takes time, gas money, energy…

How much would it be worth to you to get the right shade the first time?

Dan Read Cosmetics™ has a proven method that will help you select the correct shade the very first time!

How to Match Your Skin Undertones with DRC

Simply follow along with our questionnaire & by the time you’re done, you’ll be able to select YOUR exact, perfect match.

1. What is your family’s ethnic heritage?

Whether your skin tone is olive or ruddy is determined by your genes-and these are most often determined by where your ancestors lived. The guidelines below will help you determine where to start. After each location/area of the world you’ll see which Silver Screen Series™ foundation family, and which shades in particular, are best suited to the most common complexions from that area:

a) light Mediterranean = Olive Fawn 1 or 2; Natural 1; Far East 1; possibly Soft Ivory 3

b) dark Mediterranean = Olive Fawn 3; Far East 2 or 3

c) western European/Scandinavian = Fairest; Soft Ivory; Natural; Olive Fawn 1

d) eastern Europe = Olive Fawn 1, 2 or 3; Far East 1; possibly Natural 2 or 3

e) Asian/Middle Eastern = Far East; Olive Fawn; possibly Olive Sienna 1

f) American Indian/Hispanic = Olive Fawn; Far East

g) Pacific Islanders = Far East; Goldtone; possibly Olive Sienna 1

h) Dark skinned individuals or mixed heritage (with Caucasian) = Olive Fawn; Far East; or in rare instances the Goldtone.

a) Pale = Fairest; Soft Ivory 1 or 2

b) Fair = Soft Ivory 3; Natural 1; Olive Fawn 1

c) Medium = Natural 2; Olive Fawn 2; Far East 1; Goldtone 1

d) Tan = Natural 3; Olive Fawn 3; Far East 2 or 3; Goldtone 2 or 3

e) Dark = Olive Sienna 1 (for lighter African American skin tones); Olive Sienna 2 (for medium, cocoa brown skin tones-this shade will match 90% of those with a cocoa brown complexion); Olive Sienna 3 (for darkest skin tones such as Hindu Indian, Dark African or African-American, Dark Egyptian)

This questionnaire has been used for over 10 years to match people over the phone & continues to have 95%+ success rate.

Never used anything better!

“DAN my friend, I’ve been using your cosmetics for years now and got blown away today. I buried my cat today in 85 degree humid weather. I was sweating bullets, I mean sweat running down my cheeks! I just kept wiping my face and digging. An hour and a half later I looked in the mirror and it looked like I had fresh makeup on. I double checked with my husband to be sure I wasn’t imagining it, got his approval! I will always love your cosmetics! Never used anything better!”
