| Hello! I'm Alison Raffaele, Founder and Creator of Alison Raffaele Cosmetics. After a 20 year search to find a concealer that actually covered my dark circles - and becoming a professional makeup artist in NYC along the way - I decided to take matters into my own hands and created what I considered the first "True Concealer" - a concealer that both covers AND blends into the surrounding skin AND comes in 7 skintones for a perfect match! And unlike other high coverage concealers, True Concealer is easy to use, never looks or feels heavy and doesn't clog the pores - so it is safe to use on blemishes, too.
In 2008, to meet the growing demand for safer, more natural cosmetics, I chose to "evolve" my formulas so that they are now 100% free of parabens, talc, synthetic fragrance, mineral oil and gluten. Then I added the best, cutting-edge natural skincare technologies - such as peptides and antioxidants - so that the makeup actually imporves your skin with every application. And I am happy to say that now that we have finally found a suitable replacement for beeswax in our True Concealer, all ARC products are now also 100% vegan, too!
So if you have any questions about "natural" cosmetics/ingredients and/or perfecting your complexion, please post them here for me.
Look forward to hearing from you! :-) |

I am sure it will be a good one!
Finding the right skintone by Alison Raffaele - Alison Raffaele Representative
Hi Kris!
Based on what you are telling me, you are a Skintone 2 in my line.
Just to explain...my 7 "Skintones" are not 7 different colors like the colors of the rainbow, but 7 versions of the same base color, ranging from the lightest tint (Skintone 1) to a medium-deep shade (Skintone 7).
So, since Nicole Kidman is a Skintone 1, and you are saying your complexion is just slightly less fair than hers...that'show I know you are a Skintone 2.
Hope this helps - enjoy the makeup!
Alison :-)

Picking a color by
I use to wear warm ivory in B.Brown. Would skintone 2 or 3 be a better color?

re: picking a color by Alison Raffaele - Alison Raffaele Representative
My Skintone 2 is the equivilant of Bobbi Brown's Warm Ivory.
However, were you wearing the Warm Ivory in the summer or the winter?? Do you generally pick up some color from the sun in the summer or is your skintone the same shade year-round?
If you were wearing the Warm Ivory in the winter, and you generally pick up sun in the summer, then you may want to consider my Skintone 3 at this time.
Hope this helps!
