Tell us, how many times have you bought a foundation only to end up with disappointment because it doesn’t match your actual skin tone? You either look a little too dark like a botched spray tan job or perhaps glowing a little too bright – all for the wrong reasons. You stare at the bottles of foundation lying helplessly on your vanity table hoping that it would magically mix itself into your actual shade.

But before you grab your bag and run off to the nearest Lancôme counter, you might want to take a seat first because this feature is sadly not available in Malaysia yet. Boohoo. It’s available in selected Nordstrom stores in the States, so if you happen to be there be sure to get your hands on your one-of-a-kind foundation. In the meantime, we’ll just gather in a circle and pray that it’ll land on our shores soon.
