Life Is Colorful Presents the Future of Shade Validation in Color Cosmetics

SHADE-VALIDATION-MEDIAKIT

January, 2020

For Immediate Release

To all color cosmetics brands out there: Have you ever wondered if you have the right colors in your product palette? Are there too many similar or even missing colors?

LIFE IS COLORFUL now offers a Shade Valdation Service and provides valuable insights using innovative color measurement technology and 3D software to display and analyze product color values.

Shade colors are the DNA of a color cosmetics brand. Therefore, it is crucial to build a clear product portfolio, which is thoughtfully selected and created with a customer focus. Reliable and accurate color values, as generated by the Shade Validation service, are the starting point for a customer’s journey and the overall color management cycle of the product. It should be easy for the costumer to find the perfect color, to virtually try it on and to make a confident purchase decision online or on the shelf.

Cosmetics brands using the service will be able to create and validate shade colors in a completely new way. Gaps, overlaps and similarities between shades within an existing product palette are discovered easily using the 3D perspective within the software. 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.

The colorimetric approach of the Shade Validation Service will take out the guesswork for R&D and most importantly, for the customer. It will also reduce time-to-market and enable color cosmetic companies to offer personalized colors ahead of the competition.

Cosmetics companies interested in Shade Validation as a powerful service simply ship their sample products to the color lab of LIFE IS COLORFUL. On arrival, the samples are referenced and integrated into a customized version of the 3D software (www.color-finder.net). An easy-to-read technical report specifies colorimetric data and outlines useful color related product information.

LIFE IS COLORFUL is a service provider for color cosmetics brands. It references and digitizes product shades and provides innovative hardware, software and smartphone solutions for color management and color communication.

The company was founded by Daniela Louise Heinemann who has 10+ years of experience in color related industries, innovation and customized software solutions. It is based close to Frankfurt, Germany and operates globally in cooperation with TECHKON, a leading manufacturer of color measuring technology.

It is International French Fries Day! 🍟🎉 How do you prefer your fries: extra light, light, medium light, medium, or dark? And yes, there is a US standard for the color of frozen french fried potatoes. It dates back to 1966 to ensure food quality. ⠀⠀ „Color“ is such an important attribute for so many industries ☝🏼 #frenchfriesday #colorstandards #colorscience #funfacts #lifeiscolorful

When white light hits an object, we see its color thanks to the light that is reflected by that object. The ☀️ is the most natural light source possible and reveals the beauty of all colorful objects with no limitations. ⠀⠀ The other way around: That is why everything is just gray at night ☝🏼 ⠀⠀ Fun fact: The Corona Virus is gray only, even though the media publishes it mostly in red shades for visual purposes 🦠 (and this Emoji is icky green) ... It is just too tiny to reflect any light. #color #colorperception #colorscience #light #sunlight #naturalwonders #grayatnight #lifeiscolorful

We are celebrating our brand colors & our values 🎉 LIFE IS COLORFUL is clear! Our secondary Orange is more red than yellow, a bit loud (as we sometimes are 🤗) but still pleasant. It adds some warmth to our primary Mint for a perfect balance! ⠀⠀ Color doesn’t have to be complex: We translate the science into clear, accessible and easy writing. We want everyone to understand what we say. We love minimalism, but don’t like dull. We like detail, but never waste words. We are structured, clean and spacious. We have clarity on our purpose and what we do. ⠀⠀ #lifeiscolorful #values #beautytech #colorcosmetics #color #colormanagement #colorscience

Ever thought about that? 💡 The majority of color cosmetics is more than color – It is about color, appearance & coverage. Our brain is processing a lot while assessing the appearance of a colorful product. Swipe & see this fascinating chromatic blush. Do you see the range of colors the product reveals, depending on the angle and the intensity of coverage? It is interesting to see what happens, when the product is applied on the skin and flat surfaces vs. this nice fluffy cotton pad, where the reflection/absorption reveals a different color impression 🌈 #lifeiscolorful #beautytech #colorcosmetics #color #colormanagement #colorscience #appearance #blush #iridescence #glittermakeup #colorfulmakeup

Happy Holy Thursday! The day before Good Friday is called "Gründonnerstag" in Germany. A literal translation would be "green thursday". How nice, we 💚 green – But where does it come from? It is not 100% clear. One explanation is as follows: It is derived from a tradition of the 14th century, where people used to eat especially green vegetables and herbs. This is not only in accordance with the general fasting rules for Holy Week, but also in connection with the pre-Christian idea, that green and fresh food will help to absorb the power of spring with a healing effect for the whole year. ⠀⠀ We like the story and will therefore prepare a traditional regional dish using 7 different herbs 🤩 ⠀⠀ Whatever story you know, make sure to have a wonderful day & Happy Easter! 🐣🌷☀️ #lifeiscolorful #holythursday #happyeaster #gründonnerstag #grünesoße

Ever wanted to create your own custom lipstick? 💄 Our founder Dani did exactly that when she visited the #LipLabxBITE in San Francisco. Here is her story: ⠀⠀ "I became aware of LipLab a long time ago. So when I knew I was visiting SanFran I scheduled my appointment in advance from Germany, because I HAD TO GO! ⠀⠀ After arrival I was introduced to my personal assistant who was there to create my own personalized lipstick. I got to know the four different finishes first – Matt, Luminous, Satin and Sheer – before we moved on to the best part: The shade creation. My goal was a nice orange lipstick (I brought some nailpolish references to match with 😏) and the assistant mixed just out of her experience, with no measurement device, which was so much fun to see and to try on during the process. ⠀⠀ Once my shade decision was made I could also choose a flavor and a name – So a satin-orange-coconut-summer version of LIFE IS COLORFUL was born. The final recipe was than produced in a larger amount, heated, mixed, filled and packed in a wonderful packaging to take home. ⠀⠀ What a nice memory and what a fantastic experience as a peek into how products are created. Highly recommended 👏🏼 Thank you, ladies!" NO ADVERTISEMENT #lifeiscolorful #beautytech #personalizedbeauty #sanfrancisco #travel

We are celebrating our brand colors & our values 🎉 LIFE IS COLORFUL is fresh! Our primary Mint is elegant and balanced, neither loud or calm. Mint is fresh, fresh is young, young is innovative. We swap flat tradition, for refreshing flavour. We choose the unexpected, not the well-worn. We innovate, experiment, fail fast and grow. We express ourselves in zesty, invigorating ways. We add an energizing twist to our words. And communicate through a fresh lens. For our Founder Dani, smell and taste of Mint is soothing and relaxing. What do you "Mint" associate with? #lifeiscolorful #values #beautytech #colorcosmetics #color #colormanagement #colorscience
