NO MORE WRONG SHADES

Somehow, finding the perfect shade of foundation for your skin tone seems to be a hard one. We tested it on the jaw line, on the back of our hand, and we all become a guinea pig for ourselves, because we can’t stop trying to find a perfect one. It’s like finding your true love, isn’t it? But now, there’s help for this makeup situation. Sephora and Pantone came up with this clever foundation matching tool called Color IQ. This device will scan the surface of your skin on the face and assign our complexion to an official Pantone Skintone number. Once we’ve got the number, it’ll be compared against Sephora’s Universal Skintone Guide (consists more than 1000 shades of foundation) to determine which product is a precise match for our skin tone. Said to be incredibly accurate, I can’t wait for Sephora to be open in Indonesia soon and bring this clever tool to my hometown.

HOW MANY SHOULD YOU REALLY HAVE?

Lipsticks for women are like shoes and bags. We might have five black shoes and six black bags, and still wanting more. In my (lipsticks) case, I keep on stocking for more nude lips. Notice my little collection? There’s more than just one nude lipsticks, but at least I keep one red, one fuchsia and one shocking neon for that crazy night out and when I feel like I want out from my routine. 

LIPSTICK OF THE DAY

Red? BORING… Try the new kind of red for day look, especially if you think your lips were not made for red lipstick. Currently my favorite: Sephora Rouge “1st Night”.
