Color Match for Sephora Virtual Artist is a shade matching addition to the Sephora Virtual Artist bot that scans any photo and instantly provides the closest lipstick color match from Sephora’s entire assortment. Sephora Reservation Assistant is an appointment booking bot to reserve a makeover at Sephora stores across the United States. As one of the first beauty retailers to introduce a bot earlier this year, Sephora continues to pioneer fast, easy and fun mobile-first technologies that integrate beauty into their clients’ daily routine. SEPHORA, the leader in global prestige beauty retail announces the launch of two new bot-powered beauty tools available now exclusively on Messenger. PR Newswire, San Francisco – (November 2, 2016) So the bottom line is: I really like having all of these foundations mapped by shade and think this is a great idea, but beware to the in-store matching process if you have an uneven skintone.SEPHORA DEBUTS TWO NEW BOT-POWERED BEAUTY TOOLS FOR MESSENGER I guess that means 3Y04-ish? Something like that. I’m definitely a Y, and I’m just going to split the difference between some of the various shades I picked on my own (after all, those are all shades that have worked for me, so a blend of them should be great). Now I’m kind of back to square one on figuring out my exact, perfect shade. Even the MUA didn’t seem to like the system’s pick, because she ended up recommending an entirely different product that didn’t match that profile at all (it’s a 1Y05). I want to COVER that redness on my cheeks and even my skintone, not blend the redness into the rest of my face so it clashes with the rest of my skin. After taking a picture of my jawline, cheek and forehead, I got her recommendation… 3R06.Ībsolutely not! That is way too red and way too dark for me! Unfortunately, my cheeks are pretty red, so I am convinced that my reading was skewed because of that being included in the tone. SEPHORA COLOR MATCH SERIESI went to the store, where the makeup artist used a little handheld device to take a series of pictures that would serve to sample the color from different parts of my face. Am I a 1 or a 3? and how pale am I really? I decided to stop by the store and leave the matching to the professionals. So obviously, I’m yellow-y, but I’m not sure by how much. The shade numbers all start with a number (level of blend between yellow and pink undertones), then and R or a Y (which indicates if you are more on the red or yellow side of the blend) and a two digit number that signifies the color depth (paleness/darkness). foundations that seem pretty good have been coming in as 1Y05, 1Y02, 3Y04, and 2Y04. My attempts with the website have been mixed. There are two ways to do this: either go in to the store and have an employee use a special device that measures your skintone, or go online and search for the number that matches a foundation you already like. The only problem is pinning down the right number. The idea with Color IQ is that every foundation shade corresponds to a Pantone-identified skintone, so once you know your number you just pick products that match the exact same shade. So I want a creamier, more moisturizing product, but I have so much trouble finding something that matches my skintone (much like every other person who has skin). SEPHORA COLOR MATCH SKINI bought that Meow Cosmetics foundation last month that I like a lot, however the brutal Chicago winter winds have messed up my skin in a crazy way, so the powder foundation isn’t working as well as it did in better weather. Have you guys done this yet? I have really been trying to figure out this foundation thing lately, and I love the concept behind Sephora’s Color IQ system. ![]()
