Earlier this month, during Fashion Week, we had a chance to stop by the Three Custom Color Specialists Color Studio in New York for a consultation.

Co-founders Trae and Chad were on site to give us a tour of their color lab where their technicians were hand-pouring the Perfectly Pink Lip Gloss Palette (with love!).

Trae sat us down for a once-over and determined that Concealer #4 was best suited for our skin tone. (Which surprised us because, left to our own devices, we would have chosen a shade much lighter.) She carefully covered the blemishes on our tired skin and did her best to relieve us of the dark circles under our puffy eyes (a crazy schedule with no sleep wreaks havoc on our skin) but left the rest of our skin foundation-free.

She suggested a more natural finish, allowing our freckles to show through, for a fresher, younger look (who are we to disagree with that!). A light dusting of Cool Bronzer and bit of Poppy Lip & Cheek Stain and we were ready to walk out the door.

In addition to their amazing range of concealers, Three Custom is known for their Clarifier Pencils (dark & light) used on the inner rim of the eye to brighten and widen and their custom blending option. In their studio, they can re-create any discontinued makeup item or personalize your own custom color from scratch!
