Swatches & finders templates
Shade finders, routines, ingredient spotlights, textures and fragrance notes that make a product easy to choose and use. MarketiQ’s Creative Director picks from these 12 templates whenever a post’s message fits one of them, then fills it with your brand, facts and copy.
All Swatches & finders templates
Shade finder
A 'shade finder' grid: undertones across the top as pills, depths down the side in italic serif, and every shade's name in its cell
AM / PM routine
The 'AM / PM routine' as a split screen: a pale morning half with a sun and a night half with a moon, each listing its numbered steps
Shelfie
A routine 'shelfie': the steps lined up in order on a bathroom shelf as simple outlined bottles, jars and droppers in the brand's colours, each numbered in a serif with…
Ingredient spotlight
The hero ingredient as a periodic-table 'element tile': its percentage in the corner, a big serif two-letter symbol, the ingredient's name and INCI name beneath, set on…
Read the label
'Read the label': the product's full ingredient list set like the back of the pack
Skin-type matcher
A 'skin type' matcher: each skin type as a pill on the left joined by a dotted line to the product made for it on the right, with one line on why.
Fragrance notes
'Fragrance notes' as layers in the bottle: a simple drawn bottle on a night ground filled in three bands of the brand colour
Texture shot
A 'texture shot': the brand's own macro photograph of the formula in a big round window ringed like a lens, beside the product's name and how it feels in three large…
Get the look
'Get the look': the brand's own photograph of a finished makeup or hair look with a white card pulled over it
How much to use
'How much to use', drawn: one card per product with the dose pictured
Hair-type finder
A 'hair type' finder: drawn strands in a row of soft tiles, from straight through wavy and curly to coily, each named in a serif with the brand's product for it and why.
Scent wheel
A 'scent family' wheel: fresh, floral, amber and woody (or the brand's own families) as segments of a ring, the family this fragrance belongs to filled in the brand…

New Swatches & finders from the Template Foundry
The Template Foundry’s AI design team reads a sample post, debates its look and designs new templates around the clock; only designs that pass the same render checks as the library, look unlike every template we already have and convince our art-director model join it. 31 so far — the newest here.
Four Comfort Entries
A quiet collage metaphor leads a numbered guest-note index on one tilted paper sheet with an offset dark backing. One dominant testimonial leads three short comfort entries and a booking footer.
Room For Preferences
An acid-riso comfort floor plan leads a four-room review poster: an abstract picture and oversized guest quote occupy the main room, three preference rooms sit beneath, and a brand-colour footer carries the booking instruction.
Comment Crumbs to Clean Layers
An oversized comment bubble visibly sheds cosmetic-like crumbs into a clean launch headline. Staggered translucent-looking bands turn the inside pages into a morning-layer sequence; the close pairs the action with the same tactile layering metaphor.
Separate Scorecards Poll
A huge audience question and story-poll bars lead into a flash-lit picture of two separate, unscored hair-testing stations, captioned by offset paper scorecards.
Award Witness Receipt
An oversized award category crowns a flash-lit recognition scene: a chrome medal beside a comb, with the tester’s words set directly onto an angled physical paper witness note.
Award Inscription Poster
An asymmetric award poster with a graphic year, oversized category inscription over a risograph detangling metaphor, and a gently tilted paper strip carrying qualified evidence.
Riso rate staircase
An acid-riso trend carousel where the numbers are the stairs. The cover sets a huge condensed hook over a painted three-step climb. Each inside page shows paper treads rising to an amber riser that carries the page's new number huge, with a full-width ink band for the story. The close climbs a mini
Painted trail blaze
Each page is one hand-painted trail blaze: three hard bands (brand, paper, brand) slapped tilted onto a grainy rock-face field. The cover opens with a riso picture in its own framed panel above the blaze, whose paper band carries the huge hook. Inside pages are numbered checkpoints with a giant
Birthday Numeral Between Polaroids
A zine-collage anniversary. The brand's age is a giant numeral in the centre seam between two tilted polaroids: a small 'then' polaroid with a few swatch dots and a large 'now' polaroid with a painted picture. A dark proof band runs underneath, with a then and a now column for the before-to-after
Swatch Tray Birthday
A tilted dark band carries the brand's age as a giant acid numeral beside its birthday line. Below it, a riso picture of two swatch trays, sparse then and packed now, bleeds wide. A ruled then/now split shows the counts and puts a returns stamp on each side.
Ribbon Route Reception
A ribbon-bound salon bundle meets an oversized offer tag; inside pages become cut-out service stages with compact annotations, and the close turns the exact reception instructions into a quoted speech card.
Hand-off zine portraits
A cut-out collage carousel for Women's Day. The cover is a zine poster: an arch cut-out of women at work beside a tilted paper title card. Each inside page pairs her circle portrait and name tag with a pull-quote card, linked by an amber arrow and her own ringed icon, under a giant numeral. Sides
