There’s this huge misconception that you have to go 3 shades lighter than your skintone in order to highlight/contour, but depending on the product, it can give you reverse raccoon eyes and that’s not cute on anybody. I can go down one more shade (Pecan Pie), but if I go lighter than that, I’d be pushing it. I picked up Cream Caramel (13) which is in the tan range and more yellow-based. This line currently has the largest color range (20 shades) of all brands in Sephora, so anyone can find a match. What else you need to know: This concealer is non-acnegenic, water- and transfer-resistant, and dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested. I’m going back to get the matching foundation because I loved the finish and wanted to slather the concealer all over my face. The long-lasting formula gives a smoother, flawless-looking finish on skin, helping to conceal flaws, dark spots, skin discoloration, and under-eye circles. I was happily shocked that it didn’t break up as the day went on as well. It has very, very minimal creasing and covers dark circles beautifully, which is a huge deal for me. Now, I don’t mean 3-4 hours last like most concealers, I mean, I applied it at 11:30am and set it with my Rimmel translucent powder and while the rest of my makeup oxidized and faded during the day (it’s 90 degrees here), it was STILL INTACT when I finally washed my face at 8:30pm. It glides onto the skin and blends out easily when you’re layering for more coverage, and has a natural, satiny finish. I’m not a fan of the applicator (it’s similar to a cotton swab, so you have to keep dipping it into the tube to get enough product out), but this is by far the best concealer I’ve ever used. The formula is super lightweight + on the thin side, but the pigment is fantastic. Based on the result of the scan, Color iQ will then recommend the best product based not only on color match, but any preferences the client has expressed.I’m a sucker for a creamy concealer, so I recently picked up the Sephora Collection Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer($14), their latest concealer that’s designed to give great buildable coverage without adding texture.

So, how does this seemingly magical technology work? First, the Sephora Beauty Advisor scans the client’s skin in several areas on the face and neck using a highly accurate device. “A client with a more muted complexion might find that foundations often look too garish on their skin, while someone with a more saturated will look ashy/grey if a foundation is not matched perfectly.” “Adding saturation as a dimension in matching helps us match clients who normally have a hard time finding a foundation that looks good on them,” Nelly Mensah, Senior Director of Store Experience & Digital Product at Sephora tells TZR. .252Fdipbrow-pomadeP384060&ulIS-AB t blank. It takes into account three attributes of color: depth, undertone, and saturation - versus the industry standard, which currently only consists of depth and undertone, not saturation. Sephora’s new Color iQ technology helps match you with your perfect foundation, concealer, pressed powder, or tinted moisturizer. To address the inevitable limitations of color-matching, (even in-store), Sephora is launching a new shade matching technology that seeks to make the experience more accurate and inclusive than ever before. Factors including how the product looks in natural light, or after it’s oxidized on the skin, and whether or not it fits your undertone, contribute to the confusion and difficulty of finding that just-right shade. The process often goes beyond what meets the eye. Aside from the fact that one too many brands still don’t carry a wide enough range, there are so many factors that go into finding your perfect match. Foundation shade matching is tricky territory.
