I came across this IG post from Anuschka Rees on IG discussing how cosmetic companies use overtones in their shade labeling. I’ll link the post in the comment.

It’s super interesting and touches a point I have mentioned a few times in my comments:

THERE 👏 IS 👏 NO 👏 INDUSTRY 👏 STANDARD 👏 WHAT 👏 IS 👏 COOL/WARM/NEUTRAL/OLIVE.

This is especially important to those of us who are relying on a foundation to classify ourselves as warm/cool/neutral/muted etc. Trying to fit yourself into a seasonal color by your best foundation match is not the way to go.

I hope everyone learns some new stuff from the post. I certainly did.
