Color IQ 2023 Number Translation

[rachaelarnold1]

Can anyone please translate my color iq results in general terms? I’m having a hard time finding what each of these refer to and the specific thing mine is. Ex: am i light or fair, am i neutral cool or warm, etc.

my results:

light 2 warm 1 intensity 2

Hi @rachaelarnold1   I believe the answer to your question is there in your Color IQ results themselves. You are light skinned (but not quite porcelain skin, hence the 2), with warm undertones (but not far off neutral, so only 1), and the intensity is 2. Intensity is basically saturation.

If you take a look at a product like NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Full Coverage Foundation you will likely see one of the shades circled and checked off with the word MATCH. This means it's your Color IQ match. I've put mine below to show you what mine is like for that product. My Color IQ was Light 3 Warm 1 Intensity 2, though I think I had a bit of a tan when I got it done as I'm now more like Light 2.

Hope this helps! 😊

I have my colour IQ results

Light 1 Warm 1 Intensity 2

When I go to look at a product it’s not showing me my “match” even though I have my colour IQ uploaded to my beauty profile. How do I find my shade matches?

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was wondering.
