WHAT TRUE SHADE DOES

Everything on the label, and everything it won't tell you.

01 · SCAN

Instant identification

Frame any product — lipstick, foundation, palette or perfume. The AI reads the packaging and names the brand, product and exact shade, with a confidence score on every match.

02 · SHADE

Made for your undertone

A 60-second quiz reads whether you're warm, cool or neutral. From then on, every scan tells you if that shade will love you back.

03 · DUPES

Same look, better price

Side-by-side dupes across 600+ brands, ranked by shade match. Watch your saved-money total grow in your vault.

04 · INGREDIENTS

Ingredient lens

Key ingredients flagged by risk level, so irritants surface at a glance — and clean formulas earn their badge.

05 · ADVISOR

Your personal beauty expert

Ask anything about any product — how to apply, what to layer, whether it suits your skin type. Answers in seconds, in your language.

06 · VAULT

Your beauty vault

Every scan saved to a private, on-device collection. Filter by loved, clean or flagged — and export it whenever you like.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Frequently asked questions.

How does the AI makeup scanner work?

Point your camera at any makeup or skincare product — or pick a photo from your library. True Shade's AI reads the packaging, identifies the brand, product and exact shade, then returns ingredients, cheaper dupes, retailers and how-to-use steps in seconds.

How accurate is the makeup identification?

Every scan comes with a confidence score, and most clear photos of packaging identify with 90%+ confidence. The clearer the product name and shade label in frame, the more precise the match.

Can True Shade find cheaper dupes for expensive makeup?

Yes. Every scan includes two to three more affordable alternatives, ranked by shade match percentage — so you can see side-by-side how close a $7 dupe comes to a $40 original, and how much you'd save.

What is an undertone and why does it matter?

Your undertone — warm, cool or neutral — determines which shades flatter your skin. True Shade's 60-second quiz reads yours once, then every scan tells you whether that product complements your undertone.

Does True Shade check makeup ingredients?

Yes. Each scan lists the key ingredients with risk flags, so irritants surface at a glance — and clean formulas earn a "Clean · no flags" badge.

Can I ask questions about a product?

Every scanned product comes with a built-in AI beauty advisor. Ask how to apply it, what to layer it with, whether it suits your skin type, or for a cheaper alternative — answers arrive in seconds, in your language.

What languages does True Shade support?

True Shade works in 10+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Arabic — scan results, ingredients and AI chat are all translated.

Is True Shade free to use?

True Shade is free to download and includes free scans so you can try it. Premium unlocks unlimited scans, the AI beauty advisor, the full ingredient lens and the dupe finder — with a free trial before any payment, and cancel anytime.

Can it identify lipstick, foundation, eyeshadow and skincare?

Yes — True Shade identifies beauty products across categories: lipstick, foundation, blush, eyeshadow, mascara, setting powder, skincare, fragrance and more, across 600+ brands.

Is my data private?

Your scan history lives on your device, in your personal beauty vault. Export your collection as a file anytime, and delete everything with one tap.

Can True Shade help spot counterfeit makeup?

Scanning a product surfaces its authentic details — brand, shade names, typical pricing and packaging cues — which makes suspicious listings and counterfeits much easier to spot before you buy.

Does it work on products without packaging?

True Shade works best with the product or its packaging in frame. For unboxed items, the AI uses the case, embossing and color to find the closest match — and shows its confidence level so you know how sure it is.
