Essential Colors for Loose Powder Makeup (Fair-Yellow Skin)

To create loose powder makeup for fair-yellow skin, you will primarily need three main color pigments:

• White Pigment: Typically Titanium Dioxide. This forms the base of the powder and provides coverage and brightness.
• Yellow Pigment: Iron Oxides Yellow. This is crucial for creating the yellow undertone suitable for fair-yellow skin.
• Red Pigment: Iron Oxides Red. A small amount of red pigment is used to adjust the warmth and depth of the shade.

These three colors are mixed in varying ratios to achieve the desired skin tone match. For fair-yellow skin, the majority of the color will come from the white and yellow pigments, with just a touch of red to fine-tune the shade.

When selecting pigments, look for cosmetic-grade options suitable for powder formulations, such as non-coated or specially treated pigments designed for easy dispersion in powders.
