Color studio, Nişantaşı · est. 2012
d-lune formulas are mixed for daylight, office fluorescents, and the 6pm bathroom mirror — not just a ring light.
This month on the counter
Brick 04 is the shade we reach for when someone asks for “a red that does not shout.” Satin, not matte. It lasts through coffee; it does not last through a bowl of oily pasta, and we will not pretend otherwise.

The lab
Selin Arıkan spent a decade on editorial sets in Istanbul watching palettes that only worked under tungsten. In 2012 she rented a one-room lab off Sıraselviler and started mixing for daylight instead.
d-lune is still small. Shades are named after what they look like, not a mood. If a formula pills on dry skin, we reformulate it — we do not add a “prep your canvas” footnote.

How it is made
We mill color in small batches in Nişantaşı. Each shade is checked on three skin tones under north-facing window light before it leaves the lab. If it only looks good in a photo, it does not ship.
