Your Perfect Match: The Benefits of Custom Foundation

After years and years of being hands-on in the beauty world, one thing hasn’t changed much:

The number one makeup concern and frustration is foundation.

I have applied makeup on thousands of clients of all ages and colors and everyone wants a perfect match.

For the majority of these years, my salon has offered Custom Blended Foundation along with ready-made formulas.

Our ready-made formulas include:

• Liquid Mineral
• Pressed Mineral Power
• BB Cream
• CC Cream

All are top-sellers as they are very affordable and often do a very nice job for my clients.

So why should you consider Custom Blended Foundation?

First, let’s start with the price.

Most of my clients are pleasantly surprised when they find out they can have a hand-blended, custom, made-to-order color for 49.00. (Refills are 45.00.) Our PerfectBlends ready-made formulas range from $28.50 to $39.50. For a little more, you can have your own formula with exactly what you want in a foundation.

Other benefits with custom blending include getting the type of coverage you want:

Sheer, medium, maximum coverage and all points in between.

The finish of your foundation is also customized:

Matte, light-reflective, or high sheen.

It’s your personal statement, your personal look. The most obvious benefit of custom blending foundation is getting the right color. How many times did you purchase a color and wish it was just a little lighter, or a little less yellow? With us, this will no longer be a challenge for you. We’ll match you!

We can also add sunscreen to your custom foundation.

That’s right! You can have SPF built right into your foundation. You know you should be wearing sunscreen, but maybe you forget to apply. Now, you can save time and your skin be having your foundation and SPF all in one.

Creating your perfect match takes about 30 minutes.

Investing this initial time will pay off, especially when you consider how much time you may have wasted looking and trying to find that perfect match. Once your formula is made, refills are ready in a few minutes. There are companies that attempt to do this via internet and photos, but without having seen your skin in person and taking the time to meet with you one-on-one, how accurate can that be?

Creating your foundation goes beyond color.

It’s texture and finish that round out your perfect foundation. How can you try this on via the internet? Investing this time with us will allow you to try on your finished formula and allow your makeup artist to apply a finishing powder, bronzer, highlighter, and blush so you can see that finished product work its wonder on your skin.

In closing, I’d also like to give my opinion on what I like to call a ‘foundation wardrobe.’

What I mean by that is sometimes a single foundation – even a custom one – may not be the only answer. Some of my clients want something super sheer when they’re running around town. Other times, they’re looking for heavy, glam coverage or a nice, professional look. It’s difficult to conquer this even with a beautifully blended formula. It may require a finishing powder or contouring/highlighter duo, or possibly adding a ready-to-wear BB cream to your makeup bag. No matter your routine, it all starts with the perfect foundation.
