Assessing your skin tone
During your 45 minutes appointment we begin with a focused consultation to understand your skin tone, undertone and coverage goals. We assess surface appearance and listen to preferences about texture and finish so the blend complements your natural complexion rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all shade.
Because clients come from Oakmont and nearby suburbs for quick appointments before work, golf or errands, we prioritize a versatile match that suits both indoor settings and outdoor light near the Allegheny Riverfront and Oakmont Country Club. This conversation ensures the result fits your daily routine and local lifestyle.
Blending and formulation choices
The service produces a custom foundation mix matched to your skin tone and desired coverage level instead of relying on off-the-shelf shades. We adjust tint and opacity to align with your stated goals, creating a seamless base that reads as your skin rather than an obvious layer.
Complementary options such as Custom Blend Sunscreen ($60, 45 minutes) and Custom Blend Concealer ($35, 10 minutes) are available to coordinate sun protection and targeted coverage with your foundation. We discuss how each piece will work together so you leave with a cohesive, personalized approach.
Aftercare and practical use
After the blend is matched you’ll be able to evaluate the shade and finish during the appointment and discuss any minor adjustments. We recommend testing the match briefly during a typical day or commute and returning if subtle tweaks are needed to better suit how you wear makeup.
The Custom Blend foundation session costs $75 and takes 45 minutes, making it a convenient stop for a pre-event touch-up or an appointment around typical 9–5 commutes. Our Oakmont location on the Allegheny Avenue commercial corridor is easy to reach from PA-28 and local Port Authority routes.
