No 7 counter "scanned" my face for foundation match!

[lolalotta]

Apparently the technology isn't going to be available at other make-up counters for a year! I'm a "cool ivory"! :)
Any one else tried it? I have to say I was really, really impressed with the match. Ended up with a mouse foundation which looks so natural while providing good coverage! PLUS it's half the price of the Laura Mercier I was using....

That's an idea maybe I should have blamed the mouse thing on autocorrect...

I went and had it done this morning and its fabulous. The colour it picked (deeply beige) looked way too dark for me and I would never have picked it up in a million years if I had been buying it off the shelf, but it really did match brilliantly

No more walking round with mismatching face for me, no siree

I had this done this morning - unfortunately once the assistant put some foundation on me it was obviously a little too dark so I had to go a shade lighter. However I am VERY pale so even remotely too dark foundation looks awful on me.

I tried this on Friday. I usually use clinique as no 7 and other shades are never light enough. My colour match came out as calico and it's perfect. Bought 2 bottles of foundation and powder for price of one clinique so I'm very happy. Have to say they've definitely improved texture and colours. Would highly recommend having a go!

do you all really find it hard to match the colour? i dont. For me its the nature of the foundation itself

I am determined not to be seduced by this...........

Please, please go for this. I went on Friday, the assistant just wiped some of my foundation off both sides of my face and used the machine. Takes 2 minutes.

She then said I was warm Ivory. I usually use Clinique, but am really impressed with this foundation. They have a 3 for 2 offer at the moment at Boots so I am well happy with my new foundation, mascara and blusher.

I have the lift and luminate foundation.

Sales assistant then patched me up with the foundation.

Was really impressed with the product and the service. (Am not a Boots employee, honest).

This was the Manchester Fort Boots.

I very rarely wear make up, but I'm dying to give this a try. How much is the foundation?

This is another thing I'm going to have to try isn't it!

Foundation was £16.50 for the Lift and Luminate (am the wrong side of 50), but I am really impressed with the coverage.

Thanks aged.

oh wow I'm up for that. There's a few large Boots near to me.

I got matched to cool ivory too!

It's funny because I always thought the foundation I've used for years (EL Double Wear in "Shell") was a good match but it turns out its far too light!

Cool Ivory is a fabulous match. However I'll be trying a heavier coverage as I'm not keen on the finish/texture of the Stay Perfect.

Highly recommend the service though, I'd NEVER have tried that colour!

I am cool vanilla. Very impressed with the colour match - it's so much better than my previous foundations which I would then buy and not wear as they always looked wrong. Only £14 for the Stay Perfect which I quite like.

got scanned by dayglo orange sales assistant who obviously doesn't practice what she preaches
i surprisingly came up as calico (lightest there is)

I was surprised ,also recommended cool ivory for a warmer shade and gave me a large sample of foundation.

I needed a new foundation (I always use No 7 anyway) and so went along. I came up a warm ivory and it really is a perfect match. I am thrilled with the result. The lady gave me a wipe to remove all my foundation which I did and she redid me in my new colour!

ooh i want to do this!

Those of you who have been matched to Cool Ivory - what shade powder do you use?

I was matched to cool ivory, but actually ended up with a cool vanilla foundation - I have a sneaking suspicion I was slightly between shades and the machine went for the darker one. The assistant was lovely though, as pale as me so wasn't trying to make me darker than I am!

I wear the L'oreal perfect match powder in Rose Ivory - it's lovely if you don't have any sort of yellow undertone to your skin as I find most powders too yellow.

The one in our town centre does it How much does the foundation cost?

How do you find out which stores do it as i couldnt find out on its site. do you just have to go to your nearest one and ask inside?

Is this really any good? I always think most of No7 stuff is bollocks and I think you have to invest a fair bit in foundation.

I am determined not to get stuck in after the Bare Escentuals debacle.

Charlie if you use their store locator on the website there is an in store services bit which you can expand . It has a tick box in the list for the "n07 foundation match made service"

Even if you have the correct colour, if the texture is off or doesn't match your skin the foundation is still crap.

I tried Prescriptives once and although the colour was flawless the foundation was still crap because it had a horrible texture and just 'sat' there on my skin.
