These are "ballpark" shade chart comparables. They're based on the visual appearance of online swatches, not real life product comparisons. I offer affordable sample baggies of my products and encourage you to utilize this option to try out various shades and formulas to find the product that works best for you. As a small handcrafter who's kept true to my indie roots, because I offer these affordable sample baggies, all sales of my products are final. I don't accept returns.
The graphic charts below are all examples of Alima Level 3, which is what I've received the most email queries about. You can use the text chart below these to determine your tone level for the depth of other Alima shades (I will be working on more graphic charts- you can view all uploaded charts in one place on this
Pinterest board.
ALIMA PURE COOL 3:
Alima's Cool range appears to most closely match Aromaleigh's C (cool) or CL (cool linen) shades. It could also match to Neutral Beige (NB), Neutral Cool (NC), Pink Linen (PL) or Peach Pink (CP). The depth of Alima Cool 3 appears to most closely match Aromaleigh's Light (2) or Medium (3) range.
ALIMA PURE NEUTRAL 3:
Alima's Neutral range appears to most closely match Aromaleigh's CL (cool linen) shades. The depth of Alima Neutral 3 appears to most closely match Aromaleigh's Light (2) or Medium (3) range. Some wearers could potentially go lighter, into the Ivory (1) range, so those are included. As such, the matches I have included above include both Levels 1, 2 and 3, in the Cool Linen (CL) and some Neutral (and neutral subsets NC (neutral cool) and NB (neutral beige.
ALIMA PURE BEIGE 3:
Alima's Beige range appears to most closely match Aromaleigh's neutral range, and possibly the CL (cool linen) shades. The depth of Alima Beige 3 appears to most closely match Aromaleigh's Light (2) or Medium (3) range. As such, the matches I have included above include both Levels 2 and 3, in the Neutral (and neutral subsets or NW (neutral warm), NC (neutral cool) and NB (neutral beige), as well as the Cool Linen (CL) shades.
ALIMA PURE WARM 3:
Alima's Warm range appears to most closely match shades such as Aromaleigh Warm (W) or Warm/Linen (WL), as well as Neutral Olive (NO), Warm Olive (WO) or Neutral Warm (NW). The depth of Alima Warm 3 appears to most closely match Aromaleigh's Light (2) or Medium (3) range.
ALIMA PURE OLIVE 3:

Alima's Olive range appears to most closely match shades such as Aromaleigh Neutral Olive (NO), Neutral Warm (NW) or Warm Linen (WL). Alima's Olives are unique to me in that I'm not seeing olive tones in the online swatches, I'm seeing mostly linen with some warmth. Aromaleigh's olives are known as Yellow (olive) and Yellow/Linen (Olive). These shades were distinctly formulated in the early 2000's for customers of Asian descent. I personally have about 50% Mediterranean descent and my perfect match is Aromaleigh Light Neutral Olive (2NO). I also can wear Aromaleigh Yellow Linen.
The depth of Alima Olive 3 appears to most closely match Aromaleigh's Light (2) or Medium (3) range.
