BoldHue Introduces Revolutionary Custom Foundation Printer
The $295 device uses advanced color-matching technology to create personalized foundation shades in under a minute.
- BoldHue's foundation printer uses five pigments, including blue, to create millions of possible shades, addressing gaps in inclusivity within the cosmetics industry.
- The device scans three areas of the skin—forehead, chin, and neck—using a wand to determine an average skin tone for precise color matching.
- The foundation formula is clean, vegan, cruelty-free, and enriched with skincare ingredients like glycerin, snow mushroom, and vitamin E for hydration and luminosity.
- Cartridges for pigments and base ingredients are replaceable and cost $15–$20 each, with an average monthly expense of $35 for regular users.
- While praised for its accuracy and ease of use, the device's high initial cost and reliance on proprietary cartridges raise concerns about long-term affordability and sustainability.
