This composite represents the most popular images in a Google search for branding of the lightest makeup color (Ivory) to the darkest (True Ebony) in CoverGirl’s TRUBlend Liquid Makeup and Queen Collection Natural Hue Liquid Makeup. Initial research shows that CoverGirl’s branding mirrors that of other makeup companies with foundation options for both Caucasians and people of color. CoverGirl was chosen as the spectrum because it is the only top 10 bestselling drugstore cosmetic line to offer a dedicated brand for people of color.
Each row of foundation names may be read right to left:
From TRUBlend
Ivory, Classic Ivory, Natural Ivory, Creamy Natural, Buff Beige, Classic Beige
Medium Light, Natural Beige, Warm Beige, Creamy Beige, Soft Honey, Classic Tan
