i went into my local sephora and i found out my color IQ which all makes sense to me now. its like i see the light at the end of tunnel.
basically it lets you know how light/dark your skintone is and how much yellow/red you have in it. the yellow/red number goes from 1-5 1 being the least amount of that color you have in your skintone and the shade of you skin tone goes from 1- 16(i believe) 1 being the lightest.
and according to you ID they select which foundations would match you from sephora.
My skin IQ was:
2Y10
so basically I have a yellow undertone but only level 2 which is not a lot. and i am a 10 which obviously means I'm on the dark side.
It all makes sense, no wonder every foundation that has yellow in it (since i have to grab since i do have yellow in my skin) is too orange! or way too yellow! but then on my other friend who was 4Y the foundations never look orange or too yellow on her skintone.
when they scanned my skintone and showed me which foundation will match me, there was only 1 yes ONE foundation that matched me in sephora and it was a brand i never heard of. the lady who helped me said it this is a great tool because it lets beauty brands know what colors they need to add to their lines, or colors they need to modify etc.
have any of you guys got your skin IQ? I'm curious to know your experience
