Frequently asked questions

How does the process work?

After you order your Primordial Color Ritual, you’ll receive an email with five questions and instructions for submitting three photos in natural lighting. Using your responses, we'll develop a custom shade tailored to your complexion and preferences.

Your shade is then formulated by hand, your name is engraved on the tube, and your personal formula is kept for future reorders.

What kind of photos do you need?

Three photos taken in natural lighting. Indoors by a window, outdoors under shade or on an overcast day work well.

How long does it take to receive my color?

Please allow 2–3 weeks from the time we receive your photos and answers for your color ritual to arrive.

Can I choose a shade instead?

Primordial doesn't offer a shade menu. Each color is formulated individually, based on your complexion and preferences.

What if I don't like my color?

Because each color is custom-formulated for you, we're unable to accept returns. If you have any concerns after your color arrives, please reach out. We're here to help.

How long is my formula kept?

Your personal formula is kept for you, so your color can be recreated whenever you're ready to reorder.

Does my lipstick expire?

Your lipstick is best used within one year of its formulation date. Each one is made to order, and the date on your box serves as your reference.

Is my lipstick refillable?

Yes. Your original tube can be refilled with your personal formula.

Where do you ship?

Primordial ships worldwide. Available shipping options are shown at checkout.
