They just brought this back, and at least for me, they shouldn't have. It says I'm 5 shades darker than I am, it says I'm warm, when I'm cool, and it says my skin is combo, when I'm extremely dry....

I wish I would've read the reviews for this process before I had it done because it was a total waste of time. Until Prescriptives makeup came out, I always had problems finding foundation that...

I am very glad to see that I'm not the only Sephora patron to have issues with the Pantone Color IQ. I've never been matched in the store because I have a negative history of being horribly...

Color IQ is excellent...if you have completely flawless and even-toned skin. For the remaining 99% of us, Color IQ is hit or miss. That's because Color IQ is affected by any skin flaws you have: ...

In theory this should be a really helpful matching system. In practice it's a mess and results are totally all over the place. Results will vary depending on a lot of factors but mainly, accuracy...

WHY THIS MAY WORK FOR SOME PEOPLE AND NOT FOR OTHERS (IT WORKED FOR ME!) This is a free service offered by Sephora. They scan your face to determine the light/dark and undertone (red/yellow)...

Agree with a lot of the negative reviews. My skin VERY obviously has a lot of pink in it. I tried the "Color IQ" on a lark, and it came up with a 2Y05 for my skin. The MUFE powder it had...

I just don't know about the accuracy of this, or the products attached to it. I'm very, very pale. I've had to stop using foundations I've loved because the lightest shade was not light enough....

I'll let the bad reviews here speak for themselves because there are quite a few. What I will do is add a word of caution for us very pale people: don't waste your time. My skin (NARS Siberia, NC5)...
