Her Lipstick Shade, Made Permanent

Four Nude Tones Formulated From the Lip Products Your Clients Already Buy

  • She approves the shade before you start

  • Matched to the lipsticks she already owns

  • Buildable from sheer to full makeup finish

  • Made in the USA. 15ml. MSDS on all four shades

It usually starts the same way. A client comes to you holding her lipstick. The one she has bought again and again for years. She wants her lips to look like that all the time, without putting anything on. You mix a shade close to it. Close, but not it. She says yes, because she trusts you. Six weeks later, the color heals. It's pretty, but it's not her lipstick.

The Problem

Neither of you can see the shade until it is permanent

She describes color in brand names. You think in undertones. So you mix. She has never seen that mix on her own lips. Neither have you. You both agree on it anyway.

  • A color she cannot see is a color she cannot really approve.

  • A shade you mixed by eye is a shade you cannot repeat for the next client.

  • A healed result she did not expect is a client who does not rebook or refer.

So we built the pigments
from her point of view

Six years of logging what clients asked for, and which lip products they kept naming. The same shades came back over and over. Not seasonal launches. The neutrals and dusty roses women repurchase for a decade.

The NUDE Collection is formulated from that list, with natural lip undertones built into the base so colour blends instead of covering.

Four tones, one for every version of nude she asks for

Healed NAKED lips: warm beige with copper depth

NAKED

Warm beige with copper depth.

Golden undertones add dimension, so lips read fuller without reading darker.

Her version: warm brown pencils, soft ombre nudes.

Healed BOSS BABE lips: warm mauve with a hint of brown peach

BOSS BABE

Warm mauve, muted cool pink with a hint of brown peach.

Polished with a little mystery. Flattering across a wide range of complexions.

Her version: a finished balanced pink lip.

Healed MUSE lips: dusty rose with a cool pink undertone

MUSE

Dusty rose with a cool pink undertone.

Pale pink with a whisper of mauve, muted rather than bright. Built for lighter and paler lips.

Her version: Pillow Talk, the soft everyday rose she reorders.

Healed IT GIRL lips: a natural pop of pink with soft rosy undertones

IT GIRL

A natural pop of pink with soft rosy undertones and a slight sheen.

Fresh, not bold. Reads healthy and hydrated in photographs.

Her version: the pink that looks like good sleep.

Sitting between two shades? The booklet maps tested combinations across the full MARA Pro range, so a custom result is still one you can write down and repeat.

She names the lipstick. You already
have the match.

The collection booklet maps every tone to the lipsticks and glosses clients name most often, from cult neutrals to the peptide tints filling her feed. She points. You match. Nobody guesses.

What that changes for you and your client

She picks the shade herself

You give her the swatch card and she chooses in daylight. By the time you open a cartridge she has already seen what she is getting.

One set covers both kinds of client

The woman who wants nothing to show and the woman who wants a full lip both get served out of the same four bottles.

You can do it again

Write the shade and the ratio in her chart. When she books a touch-up, or sends her sister in, you are not starting from scratch.

No corrector to mix

The correcting work is in the pigment already, so that is one less step and one less thing to wait on.

The three-minute shade conversation

  1. 1

    Ask what is in her bag.

  2. 2

    Match it on the swatch card, in daylight, in her hand.

  3. 3

    Confirm sheer or built up, then write the formula into her chart.

  • Made in the USA
  • 15ml (.5 oz) bottles
  • Cosmetic tattoo safety standards
  • MSDS published for all four shades
