JORGE CANCER'S KEY COLOUR TAKEAWAYS:

Tip 1. Use IGORA ROYAL Boosters to boost shade intensity and create different tonal directions

“The booster was a key element for our collection... just by changing the ratio of the copper, the 0-77, you can create all these amazing colours!”

"By adding different boosters... the same colour gives you a different perspective in your portfolio."

Tip 2. Use colours from the same colour world to create a soft contrast with more volume

"Contrast is so important for us because through this technique you can create a volumised appearance... but it's just the colour that generates the volume."

Tip 3. Use mixing to bring to life the idea you have in your mind

"The IGORA colour chart is huge, but the creativity is endless... when you get into the mood board or an idea that you may have in your mind, it's really important to know how to mix the colour because then you can create it yourself."

For example: "9-1 with 6-88 creates a real red shade – it's a beautiful shade, it's like a candy kind of pink shade – but if you use the Pastelfier it's lighter, diluted and really really soft..."

Remember:
IGORA ROYAL Boosters (0-55, 0-77, 0-88, 0-89, 0-99) are the perfect additives to boost fashion shades on all levels of intensity, or to enhance a shade with a new tonal direction.

IGORA ROYAL Booster Mixing Tips:

  • The Booster will make up to 50% of the colour cream in your formula
  • Watch out: adding too much Booster will reduce coverage, so make sure you adjust the amount of colour and the way you apply the colour accordingly
  • When adding a Booster to your chosen IGORA ROYAL shade, increase the amount of Developer proportionally to maintain the target depth

For creative and customised colour results, our IGORA ROYAL portfolio provides a technical range to boost, shift, or neutralise tone directions to expand your creative possibilities.
