    What an absolute MESS this is! First of all, the device, in 4 different locations, has matched me to 1Y09, 2Y10, 4Y08, and 2Y08...This is confusing to me. The one consistent thing is Y for...

    I'm fair skinned and I was matched 3 shades darker than I am. I forgot what shade my foundation was and it caused me to get a shade darker. I don't tan or get color, so now I have wasted $36. Kind...

    This is such a gimmick. I have extremely fair skin and have been struggling finding foundation light enough for me for YEARS! The lightest shade of any foundation is always to dark. This stupid...

    I was curious so first sephora said 3y09. My perfectly matched foundation that I've been wearing years is 1y09. Was in a rush so took no samples. Next day went to another sephora and had loads of...

    The Skin IQ is a waste of time. While the concept sounds great in practise it falls completely short. The first time I had my Skin IQ tested it was 2y11, but as I went in to buy a new concealer I...

    When matching foundation, there's nothing quite as accurate as a pair of eyes, in my opinion. The Color IQ device matched me to a darker shade than what I actually was. I was not wearing any makeup...

    I was matched 2 shades too dark on three different foundations. The color match was completely off.

    I'm not a huge fan of it, it could never match me quite right. I brought a friend in and neither the SA or machine could match her right either, I had to do it myself

    I've gotten shade matched twice at Sephora once in the winter and once again more recently. The last time I wanted the SA to swatch an area of slightly darker skin closer to my chest since my...

    I went to two different sephoras to get matched and the results were the same both times: 2Y07. I learned that the first number tells me I am close to neutral. (1 in the first number spot would be...

    Just got home from Sephora, where they matched me to 3y08 and then gave me some options for foundation. I ended up buying Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation in tan honey and it is a perfect match. I...

    Honestly, I just might be too light or something, but the machine matched me to a 1Y02, which was off because I lean far more towards red than yellow, and all the results were too dark. I honestly...

    This matched me to a foundation that was a great match. You know how sometimes after you put on your foundation you have to bring life back to your skin using blush, bronzer, etc.? Cause you look...

    The hype is just that, hype. It doesnt match, it spits out a list of suggestions. And do thet clean these everytime, before and after?

    I'll preface by saying that I got mine done at a JCPenney in-store Sephora, but I was really disappointed with Color IQ! I'm pretty good at finding my perfect shades on my own but I wanted to see...

    Love the idea of this technology, but in practice it didn't really work for me. It probably has something to do with the fact that my skin is blotchy and different colors in different places,...
