SPECTRUM 138
138 SHADES.
ONE SPECTRUM.
Human complexion does not exist in a handful of categories.
Spectrum 138 approaches foundation as a color system: 138 shades designed to represent a far broader complexion spectrum, paired with technology created to help navigate it.
THE PROBLEM
THE SPECTRUM
WAS ALWAYS BIGGER.
Despite decades of progress in complexion, many foundation systems still compress the spectrum of human skin into a limited number of shades.
The result is familiar: consumers searching between shades, adjusting undertones, mixing products or accepting a match that is simply close enough.
Spectrum 138 begins with a different premise: the complexion spectrum should determine the architecture of the shade system—not the other way around.
COMPLEXION TECHNOLOGY
138 SHADES.
AI-POWERED MATCHING.
More shades only solve the problem if people can navigate them.
Spectrum 138 pairs its expansive shade architecture with AI-powered shade matching designed to help customers navigate complexion color with greater precision.
The spectrum provides the possibilities.
The technology helps find the match.
COMPLEXION ARCHITECTURE
COLOR,
ENGINEERED.
Spectrum 138 treats complexion as an architecture of color.
Red, yellow and black iron oxides together with titanium dioxide form part of the pigment architecture from which the complexion color system is constructed.
The objective is not simply more shades.
It is a more deliberate way of approaching complexion.
PERFORMANCE
MADE TO STAY WITH YOU.
NOT YOUR CLOTHES.
Spectrum 138 is designed with transfer resistance in mind—particularly where complexion products meet collars, clothing and scarves.
For women who wear hijab, this addresses an especially familiar frustration: foundation transferring from the face onto the fabric framing it.
That practical problem became part of the Spectrum 138 design brief, informing a performance architecture intended for modern daily wear.
FORMULATION SCIENCE
COLOR.
WEAR.
EXPERIENCE.
Spectrum 138 begins with color—but does not end there.
Its pigment architecture uses red, yellow and black iron oxides together with titanium dioxide as part of the complexion color system.
That color architecture is paired with a performance-focused base incorporating volatile carriers, silicones, elastomers, powders and film-forming materials selected around application, finish and wear.
The result is a foundation system conceived through both color science and formulation science.
- VOLATILE PHASE
Isododecane and cyclopentasiloxane contribute to the volatile phase.
- SLIP + SENSORY CHARACTER
Dimethicone and silicone elastomer materials contribute to slip and sensory character.
- FILM-FORMING ARCHITECTURE
Trimethylsiloxysilicate and polypropylsilsesquioxane contribute to the film-forming architecture.
- TEXTURE + FINISH
Silica, aluminum starch octenylsuccinate, Nylon-12 and boron nitride contribute to the texture and finish architecture.
