TONEWORK goes beyond just offering foundation services – you also have the opportunity to create your own personalised lipstick shade!
Located in the K-beauty shopping mall Amore Seongsu, TONEWORK’s custom lipstick service utilises advanced pigment-measuring technology, similar to the foundation shade finders.
However, there’s a unique twist – instead of simply matching the shade to your skin tone, their technology will recommend the lip color that will perfectly complement your skin tone. You’ll even receive personalised notes on the hue, saturation, and intensity of the lip colour.
Not only can you choose between a glossy or matte finish, but you can also play around with TONEWORK’s full range of shades, and experiment with different colours that catch your eye.
To make your custom lippie even more special, TONEWORK offers five refreshing scents to choose from, adding a unique fragrance to your lippie: Lemon Zest, Frosty Herb, Vanilla Lust, Fig Woods, and Pure Unscented.
Remember to reserve your slot on Amore Seongsu’s website to ensure you don’t miss out!
