CR726

This palette is formulated to provide a classic sculpting experience, relying heavily on traditional powder bases and mineral pigments for dimension.

❶ Texture: Ultra-fine, smooth, and silky. The combination of Talc, Silica, and Magnesium Stearate ensures the powder is soft, adheres well to the skin, and has a creamy, blendable feel (often described as a "buttery" texture). The inclusion of Bismuth Oxychloride adds a slight slip to the formula.

❷ Function: Multi-purpose sculpting. The three shades are designed to work together for face contouring:

    ①Highlight: A matte/satin highlight shade (due to higher Titanium Dioxide / CI 77891) to set brightener under the eyes or highlight high points of the face.

    ②Contour: A neutral-to-cool toned brown (using Black Iron Oxide / CI 77499) designed to mimic natural shadows on the cheeks, jawline, and nose.

    ③Bronzer/Blend: A warmer, golden-brown shade (with Yellow and Red Iron Oxides) to warm up the complexion or blend the edges of the contour.

❸ Targeted Benefits: Creates the illusion of higher cheekbones, a slimmer face, and a more defined bone structure. It aims to add dimension back to the face after foundation application.

❹ Finish: Primarily Natural Matte with a slight Luminous sheen. While Dimethicone and Mica provide a soft-focus, skin-like finish (preventing a flat, chalky look), the absence of large-glitter particles ensures the shadow effect remains realistic. 

CR727

This palette is to be a more specialized version, more focusing on "Color Correcting" contouring, given the inclusion of unique pigments like Manganese Violet (CI 77742) and Red Lake (CI 75470).

❶ Texture: Smooth and creamy powder. The texture profile is very similar to CR726 (Talc, Silica, Bismuth Oxychloride, Dimethicone), ensuring consistent blendability across both palettes. It is designed to feel lightweight on the skin without caking.

❷ Function: Multi-dimensional contouring and color-correcting.

    ①Blush/Brighten: Contains Red 7 Lake (CI 75470), Yellow 5 Lake (CI 19140), and Violet (CI 77742). This suggests a soft lavender or pink toned powder, which functions to brighten dull skin or act as a setting powder for brightening concealers.

    ②Classic Contour: A standard contour shade relying on Iron Oxides (Blacks, Reds, Yellows) to create a natural shadow on the skin.

    ③Cool Contour: This shade contains Black Iron Oxide mixed with Manganese Violet (CI 77742) . This creates a unique, cool-toned taupe. This is highly desirable for fair skin tones or for creating "hyper-realistic" shadows that neutralize underlying warmth in the skin.

❸ Targeted Benefits: In addition to standard face sculpting, this palette targets skin tone neutralization. The inclusion of violet pigments helps to counteract sallowness or yellow undertones in the skin, allowing the contour to look more natural and skin-like rather than just a brown stripe.

❹ Finish: Satin to Soft Matte. The presence of Alumina and Silica helps with oil absorption and blurring, while the Mica and Bismuth ensure the face doesn't look flat, giving a healthy, second-skin appearance. 

Summary of Both

• The powders are formulated to be "Buildable." Because they contain a balance of fillers (Talc) and binders (Dimethicone, Magnesium Stearate), they can be applied lightly for a sheer wash of color or packed onto the skin for more intense definition without looking patchy.
• The use of Triethoxycaprylylsilane (a coating agent) means the pigments are treated to adhere better to the skin and resist fading or settling into fine lines throughout the day, improving the wearability of the product.
• The inclusion of Silica provides a "Soft Focus" or blurring effect, minimizing the appearance of pores and fine lines on the cheeks and under-eye area.
