Beauty Guide : Having Trouble Finding the RIGHT Foundation Shade at the Drugstore? UPDATE
Hello Dolls and Gents,
So, you may have remember that I wrote a very popular post a while ago. I taught you how to find your perfect foundation shade at the drugstore using a certain trick. While, if you do not what I am talking about, I need you to stop reading and go check it out, 'Having Trouble Finding Your Foundation at the DRUGSTORE'.
RECAP
I told you guys that is was very difficult for me to get the right shade of foundation at the drugstore and I always gravitate toward the darkest shade. Well, that method was either a hit or miss for me. I went to Sephora and got my Color IQ done. The Sephora and Pantone Color IQ is a patented technology that takes pictures of your skin to find your perfect Pantone skintone for you in the Sephora foundation database. They take the pantone scanner and take a picture of your forehead, cheek, and neck in the darkness to get the actual colour of your skin. After, your pantone skintone will appear on the scanner. This skintone is your perfect foundation colour match. My pantone skintone is 2R14.Now, since then a lot has change. My results on the Sephora site has changed and I think also some of my drugstore colours I have changed. I want to update for you guys, because there are new foundation coming out and it helps to what your match is. And, the great news is the Sephora Canada now has free shipping over $50, fast delivery from coast to coast and free returns. If you like to know more, just keep on reading.

ReplyDeleteThank you Karian, I'm glad that I can help you out
DeleteHi i've recently been to Sephora to get a colour iq test, turns out I'm the same skin tone as you. It was great to easily get the more affordable brands of foundation do.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you knew of any concealers that would match our skintone at a drugstore more affordable price, I got the NARS radiant creamy concealer Dark 2 cacao but its quite pricey.
Thank you :)
Hi Corine, I am glad to hear you were match to my old color iq number. I also went to Sephora recently and I got matched to a different number, but I will be doing a post about that later. A concealer that matches your skin tone perfectly that is drugstore is the L.A. Girl Pro Conceal in Dark Cocoa. This concealer provides a medium coverage and matte/satin finish. I do know where you are located, but I think in US is no more than $5 and same here in Canada. I recommend check L.A. Girl Pro Concealer out.
