The Monk Skin Tone Scale is a advanced skin tone classification system that accurately represents a wide range of human skin tones, far beyond traditional scales like the Fitzpatrick Skin Type (FST), which focused on sun reactivity rather than true tone inclusivity. Developed with input from dermatologists, makeup artists, and color scientists, the Monk scale was designed to address these gaps and provide precise, inclusive shade matching.
Arbelle is the first to integrate this scale into our Shade Finder, setting a new standard for inclusivity by delivering a personalized foundation match for every individual.
