What are skin tones?

Your skin tone is the genetic amount of melanin, naturally occurring dark brown or black pigments, in the outermost layer of your skin. Skin tones can change over time for various reasons.

What is your skin tone?

There are 3 traditional skin tones: Light, Medium, and Deep.

• Light or fair skin tone: Contains a small amount of melanin within the skin.
• Medium skin tone: Contains a fair amount of melanin within the skin, is a neutral color, and has a beige appearance. This skin tone is often referred to as an “olive” color.
• Deep skin tone: Contains a large amount of melanin within the skin.

What are undertones?

Undertones are the natural colors underneath the surface of your skin. Because undertones are under the surface of the skin, you can have the same skin tone as another person, but have a completely different undertone. Undertones are not based on skin tone. For instance, a light skin tone can have a warm undertone and a deep skin tone can have a cool undertone. Also, undertones remain the same, even when you tan. There are 3 traditional undertones: Rose, Almond, and Golden.

• Pink, blue, and/or red hues under the skin = Rose, pink or cool undertone
• A mixture of warm and cool hues typically the same color as your skin tone = Almond, neutral or olive undertone
• Peach, yellow, and/or gold hues under the skin = Golden or warm undertone

What is your undertone?

You can identify your undertone by using the color of your veins. In natural light, what color are the veins under your skin on the inside of your arm or wrist?

• Blue and/or purple veins = Rose or cool undertone
• Colorless, same color as your skin, and/or a combination of blue and green veins = Almond or neutral undertone
• Green and/or olive veins = Golden or warm undertone

Tips for selecting your Colors of the World skin tone crayon color:

• Check out the color panels on the side of the Colors of the World crayon box.
  • Match: Use crayon box color panels or create color swatches.
  • Select: Pick colors closest to your skin tone.
  • Color: Draw your #TrueSelfie with your unique colors!

Another way to find your skin tone crayon is to color a small area on a piece of paper with the crayon colors closest to your skin tone. Compare the areas with the inside of your arm or wrist, and select the crayon color that best matches your skin tone.

Have questions about your Color Wonder Magic Light Brush? We have the answers!

For Best Results:

• Always protect your work surface!

• If your set has a paint pot strip, it must be snapped into the base until it clicks for the Magic Light Brush to operate. 

• Turn the power switch to the "on" position. – The unit is "on" when the switch is under the l. The O indicates "off".

• If your set has a paint pot strip, check to ensure the brush tip is tightened. To activate the light brush, hold the brush tip over a single paint pot. Watch the bristles turn the color of the paint inside. Dip the bristles into the gel paints and start painting on the Color Wonder Paper (a thin layer of paint works best). The brush tip will stay illuminated for approximately 10 seconds while it goes from paint to paper.

• If your set has paint pads,the handle will light up and cycle through all the colors. When that is done, press the bristles in the middle of the paint pad for a few seconds.The handle will temporarily light up the color of the paint. Brush the bristles against the paint pad several times. An invisible layer of paint will stick to the bristles. Brush onto Color Wonder Paper and watch the colors magically appear! 

• Between each color change, wipe the bristles with a dry paper towel.

• When creative time is done, be sure to close the paint pot strip covers to prevent the paint from drying out.

• If your set has paint pads, the cover should be placed on to protect the paint pads. Since the paint pads will not dry out, the cover does not need to be airtight and replacing the paint pads is not necessary. The paint pads are securely sealed in the unit during the manufacturing process and not removable, so we do not recommend attempting to remove them. 
  

Battery Savers:

• To help preserve battery life, the Magic Light Brush will automatically turn off after 5 minutes if unused.
• To reactivate, push power switch to "off" and then back "on". Turn the power switch off and then on.
