How to Gift Mom with the Right Shade
Shopping for Mother’s Day makeup gifts can be tricky if you don’t know mom’s perfect shade. Instead of spoiling the surprise by outwardly asking which color she swears by, upload a clear headshot or selfie of the lucky lady you’re shopping for onto our Try IT On tool. This virtual shade finder can help color-match you or someone else’s complexion with most IT Cosmetics CC creams and foundations (it also works on select color makeup products like lip gloss and eyeliner). Keep this tool handy if you choose from one of these personalized beauty gift ideas below!
