For me, finding the perfect foundation has always been a bit of a task. Putting the questionable shade ranges aside, I seem to have another requirement that not many brands want to fullfil—I like sheer coverage foundations, but without an overly dewy finish. While I’d describe my skin as pretty low-maintenance, I have a super-oily T-zone so I’m always seeking a light foundation formulation that will both even out my skin tone and mattify the oily bits—but without making my face look 2D. Trying satisfy these needs at the same time as having to seek out a foundation range that caters well to deeper skin tones is challenging to say the least.
That is until I discovered Dcypher. A truly disruptive new brand on the beauty block, Dcypher is bringing custom foundations to the masses by uniquely creating a foundation for every individual. As soon as I heard about it I was intrigued, but on the I don’t always trust custom skin care and makeup as everyone’s opinion on what makes a ‘good’ product can vary so dramatically.
However, in the name of research, I put my reservations to one side and delved headfirst into the world of Dcypher’s customisable experience in the quest for my perfect foundation. And, I have to say, I think the resulting formula is pretty close.
