I have a “go to” lip color that I feel always brightens and lightens my face, even on days when my hair and mood aren’t necessarily cooperating. It is a color that I have purchased time and time again and have always been happy with. So – imagine my dismay whenever I found out that the color had been discontinued!
The first thing I did was to go all over town to various cosmetic counters and ask the representatives from each line to match the shade with one of theirs as closely as they could. Alas; as hard as they tried, nothing was quite the same. I was very excited to learn that Three Custom Color Specialists can actually custom blend any existing lipstick shade.
The instructions on their website suggest sending a dime-size sample of your lipstick or just sending the entire tube. I chose the latter and it took about two weeks to get the product back. It was well worth the $ 60.00 for TWO tubes to have my hands on that “perfect” shade. Along with the color, they also matched the texture of my lipstick and I was delighted with the result – a spectacular match in every way.
They also offer the opportunity to “create your own” color by using a magazine clipping, fabric swatch, paint color or even a color you created in your own imagination. I can’t tell you how many times that I have admired a color in a magazine and wanted to know what brand and color it was and it wasn’t provided. Three Custom Color Specialists is the solution to this dilemma. They offer a $10.00 discount on repeat orders as well.
It should also be noted that they can custom blend eye shadows, brow gels, brow powders and creme to powder blushes. At last: a solution to fretting over discontinued products! I am very happy to have my favorite lip shade back in hand and the ability to reorder so efficiently.
