Introduction: The Never-ending Struggle of Shade Matching
We’ve all been there – standing in the drugstore under fluorescent lighting, testing color on the wrist, hoping this foundation is going to finally match our skin. Hours of wearing it around and playing. Money wasted. Disappointment when a product that looked amazing on the shelf appears ashy, orange, or patchy on the face.
Finding that ideal foundation shade is one of the greatest beauty struggles. And it’s not merely a matter of picking the right tone-undertone, lighting, formulation, and even oxidation can all derail it.
That’s why traditional shade matching methods are likely to fall short. Fortunately, there’s a more effective way to find your perfect match – thanks to AI-based technology.
Why It’s So Difficult to Find the Correct Foundation Shade?
Before we delve into the solution, it helps to describe why foundation matching is such a problematic process:
- Tone vs. Undertone Confusion
Most people are confused about whether they possess fair, medium, or deep skin, but it is the undertone (warm, cool, or neutral) that, in the end, will tell you how well a foundation will work for your skin. Misjudging this can lead to glaring mismatches.
- In-Store Lighting is Incorrect
Store lighting is never daylight, and this creates false assumptions about how a shade will appear on your skin in the sun.
- Online Swatches Aren’t Typical
A swatch for you on the web might be a completely different shade on your skin. Skin, lighting, and retouching make it hard to believe your eyes.
- Foundation Oxidation
Maximum foundations oxidized upon exposure to air or your own body oils, and they may color slightly upon application.
- Limited Personal Assistance
With thousands of shades and types available under different brands, it is virtually impossible that the sales staff or the online consultants will make the right call every time.
This results in frustration, wasted money, and uncertain outcomes.
