🧪LETS TALK DILUTION SOLUTION🧪 • • Often we have heard “Use Shades EQ Crystal Clear to make our formula a level lighter”— but let’s talk about what’s actually happening. • • Remember Crystal Clear is no lift, no level, no tone (000) So,When we use Crystal Clear we aren’t making our color a lighter level we are simply sheering out our formulas so our deposit will visually appear less pigmented. Which can “trick” the eye into perceiving that our formula has been made a lighter level— but this isn’t the case. If my original starting level is a 9 and I dilute my formula with clear I’m still at a Level 9. I’ve only diluted the tonality of my color. • • Take this video of me painting with water colors for example. My Full Strength swatch has the deepest blue— but as I add more water my paint slowly starts to sheer out. All of these swatches are the same blue but adding more water creates a more lighter result due to diluting the tonality of my paint. Just like Shades EQ Crystal Clear in our Shades EQ formulas. • • Curious about what these searches look like dry— swipe to check it out!
