Makeup & Muses: Sephora Color IQ

Have you tried the Sephora + Pantone Color IQ yet? I saw an ad for it in my September issue and had an "OMG, where have you been all my life?" moment because I feel like I'm always wearing the wrong foundation. It either makes my skin look ghost-like or too dark for words.

I went to my local Sephora and had them get my Color IQ on. They place the matching device on three different parts of your face (since skin tone varies across your face) and then this number appeared on the screen: 1Y12. They put the number into the website and a bevy of foundations for my skin type popped up, including ones that work for dry skin.

After testing a couple on my hand, I went ahead with the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 30 in Seychelles. I love a good tinted moisturizer, especially one that matches my medium dark with golden olive undertones!

Then I was like, "Two birds with one stone, Cheryl" and had the Sephora beauty expert fill in my brows. I'm using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Brunette, which is a brow pencil on one side and a brush on the other to even out the look. Also wearing Electro Baby Lips by Maybelline in Pink Shock courtesy of the giveaway I won on Style Through Her Eyes.
What do you think of the finished product?

  8. I think they have a brilliant concept, I was just reading about this and would love to try it especially since it's most difficult for me to find exact shade matches for yellow undertones. Love the brows!

  10. I heard about this. They sent me an email. I need to get it done, because it definitely takes the guesswork out of finding the right shade.
