This is pretty cool, I must admit.
I'd say about a million times better than having to deal with the pressure of those department store chicks who CLEARLY have too much makeup on, not to mention, have about 5 squirts too many of expensive perfume. ugh. I digress ...
Do yourself a favor and upload a real picture of you. You can do this with a model, but its just not the same. In my opinion, it will defeat the whole purpose. The goal after all is for YOU to try on different color combos with YOUR skin tone & coloring, not to guess which model looks most like you. (If you have a mac, use your Photo Booth and whaa-laa. easy peasy!)
Its best to get a picture of yourself in natural light. Mine was taken mid-afternoon; its about to rain here, and so, its dreary inside and out with bad lighting all around. This made it difficult for me to find the right foundation. The color I normally buy, made me look like a ghost. So I went darker, and that made me look like super-tan-leather-face. The lighting is the trickiest part to this; if you get good light, then the colors will be more true to you. (I prefer more ghost-like to the latter; dare I say team Edward?)
Also, if you take a picture of you without any makeup at all, the final result will be more dramatic. not sure if that is a good thing or not, its just something to take note of.
(I really wanted to post my before and after pics for you, but it won't let me have the after pic to post ... good chance its operator error!)
