This AI Skin Tint is my secret weapon for achieving a "no-makeup" look.

      As a beauty editor who appreciates the "no makeup" makeup look, I have some concerns about certain skin tints and tinted sunscreens. While I prefer their lightweight, sheer coverage to that of foundation, I've found that achieving a good color match can be quite challenging. Some brands tend to shift the responsibility by suggesting that their shades are "stretchable" due to their transparency. While I partially agree with that perspective, I can count on one hand the number of products that truly align with my skin tone seamlessly. I've previously experimented with several Dcypher makeup items, where they create a custom-mixed foundation or concealer tailored to your skin tone. I already own the My Custom Foundation (£39) and the My Custom Concealer (£27). Therefore, when the Custom Glow Drops (£29) were recently released, I was eager to see how well they would match my skin tone and their performance. After using them for the past month, I've shared my honest impressions below.

      **The Shade Match**

      If you’re unfamiliar with Dcypher, you’ll be pleased to discover that the shade-matching process is incredibly simple. On their website, you'll be asked to upload a makeup-free selfie taken in natural light. It only takes seconds, during which the system scans your complexion and identifies your precise custom shade. This Skin Tone ID can be used for all Dcypher products if you wish to try more or reorder. Since I had already tested the foundation and concealer, I had my Skin Tone ID ready, which I used to order the Custom Glow Booster. I was once again impressed with how well the shade matched, blending into my skin for an almost imperceptible effect. It looks like my skin but with a more radiant, dewy accent.

      **The Formula**

      The formula itself is lightweight and provides sheer coverage with a radiant, dewy finish. Due to its transparency, it offers just enough coverage to even out skin tone on its own. However, it may not fully conceal blemishes or redness by itself (for more targeted coverage, the Dcypher concealer might be a better option). This month, my rosacea acted up, and I experienced some hormonal breakouts, yet the Custom Glow Booster did an admirable job of evening out my skin tone while allowing my freckles on my nose to show through. It's ideal for days when you prefer minimal makeup, but it can also be blended with your foundation for a glowy effect, making it quite versatile.

      **The Verdict**

      Having used this for the past month, I am genuinely impressed. The perfect match to my skin tone makes it nearly invisible, and the lightweight texture feels like I'm wearing nothing at all. Of course, this might not be suitable for you if you're looking for more coverage like traditional foundation or prefer a matte finish (as it has a pearlescent glow), but for those occasions when you desire a perfecting layer, I can’t recommend it enough.
