Shades, ranges and MRPs come from each brand’s official website or, for premium brands, from Sephora India. Colours are measured from those official product images and swatches and compared with CIEDE2000, the standard for how different two colours look to the eye. Screens and lighting vary, so treat matches as a close guide.
