That's it! From there, enter your shipping information and wait for the mailman to bring your custom bottle of bareMinerals Fresh Faced Foundation with your very own name on it for $49. The app will take you through a series of scans on areas such as your forehead, both cheeks, and both sides of your jawline. Next, tap your inner wrist until the app gets a good read, and then scan your face. Begin by steadily tapping the phone camera against a stack of white paper to "calibrate" your phone.

To get the truest reading of your skin tone, start with a clean face and take the scans under indoor lighting with no direct sun. Here's how it works: After downloading MADE-2-FIT on your phone (it's only available on iPhone), unmute your device and have the app guide you through the process, which uses MATCHCo color-matching technology. And the best part is you can do it right from your couch (or wherever) and never have to take a trip to the store. Instead of the standard way of selling makeup, in which a brand offers a group of shades to choose from, this app uses scans of your face to blend a custom shade just for you. So when I heard bareMinerals was launching an app called MADE-2-FIT that would make the foundation-matching aspect of shopping for makeup easier, I took note.
Whether it's finding the right shade, the right amount of coverage, or the finish you like, there's a lot of "trying before buying" going on in the makeup aisle. For foundation wearers, finding the perfect match is a battle.
