Product Imagery Notice
As part of our mission to improve our website, we incorporated the use of professional photography and lighting to display the contents of product samples and cosmetic pigments as a means to enhance the visual and physical description of each pigment. However, due to photography lighting and the nature of digital display, actual product appearance may differ slightly from photos displayed on our website. If you have any questions concerning a specific pigment, please feel free to contact us by email for assistance.

Orders
