Lorac FAQ
Is foundation shade 22 the production date?
No. It identifies a shade variant of the foundation, not when the makeup was made.
Can a retailer SKU decode a LORAC lot?
No. Keep the original pack and ask LORAC when the separate production mark cannot be read.
LORAC makeup product names and lot marks
Before you rely on the decoded date
- Record the full LORAC product name, shade, finish and size before checking a short mark on the item or carton. Shade numbers and color names identify makeup variants, not production dates.
- LORAC’s FAQ directs customers to its own support team for product questions and lists its authorised sales channels. A retailer SKU, order number or online listing reference should not be treated as a universal LORAC decoder.
Common lookup mistakes
- Keep the carton with the palette, foundation, pencil or other LORAC product until the complete identity and any printed mark have been recorded.
- For a missing or unreadable mark, contact LORAC customer service with the product name, shade, size and purchase channel rather than guessing from color or barcode.
