Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SK-17 and SK-18 for very deep-skinned clients?

SK-17 — Very Deep Brown, Rich Neutral. Neutral undertones—best for very deep brown skin without strong cool or warm bias. SK-18 — Very Deep Brown, Cool-Neutral. Slightly cooler—best for very deep brown skin with cool undertones. For clients between the two: mix SK-17 + SK-18 in varying ratios to adjust the undertone from neutral to cool-neutral.

Can SK-17 be mixed with other shades?

Yes — SK-17 is fully mixable with all other shades: mix SK-17 + SK-16 for a slightly lighter deep brown. Mix SK-17 + SK-18 to add cool character. Mix SK-17 + SK-19 for a deeper dark brown. SK-17's neutral character makes it an excellent mixing base for very deep brown formulas.

What skin conditions can be treated with SK-17?

SK-17 is suitable for: surgical scars on very deep brown skin, vitiligo patches on very deep brown complexions, stretch marks on very deep brown skin, hypopigmented areas on very deep brown complexions, and post-procedure skin discoloration on very deep brown skin. The very high contrast between vitiligo patches and very deep brown surrounding skin makes precise color matching critically important.

How do I assess the undertone of very deep brown skin for SK-17 vs SK-18?

Undertone assessment on very deep skin requires careful observation: look at the client's skin in natural daylight—not artificial lighting. Observe the undertone in areas with thinner skin (inner wrist, behind the ear). Compare SK-17 (neutral) and SK-18 (cool-neutral) directly against the client's skin. If the skin has a distinctly cool, ashy, or blue-toned quality: SK-18 is more appropriate. If the skin reads as neutral without strong cool bias: SK-17 is the better match. Mix the two in varying ratios for precise undertone calibration.

Is SK-17 suitable for camouflaging stretch marks on very deep brown skin?

Yes — SK-17 is suitable for stretch mark camouflage on very deep brown skin. Stretch marks on very deep skin create very high contrast—the white or silver stretch marks against very deep brown skin are highly visible. Camouflage tattooing can significantly reduce this contrast. Important: stretch marks have different texture and pigment absorption than surrounding skin—multiple sessions are typically needed. The achievable result is significant improvement in visibility, not necessarily 100% invisibility.
