3 Custom Color Specialists cosmetics is a fantastic makeup line. Created by makeup artists for makeup artists, this is a high end line. Scott, Trae, and Chad are the masterminds behind the line.
I received the Czarina Collection for review. I have to say I was immediately drawn to it when I saw it on the website, but was quite concerned about the vivid colors. There was no need for that! The Gilded eye shadow is a gorgeous, shimmery copper-bronze shade that’s pretty and flattering. Russian Blue is a great smoky blue shade. And the Ballet Russe lipstick? OMG! Amaze-balls! It’s like the best sheer red-pink lipstick shade ever. I totally understand why Allure loves it!
I wore this out and about one day, substituting the 3 Custom Color shadows for my normal BE items. They wore nicely and didn’t fade away. I also have really sensitive eyes and didn’t have any issues with eye irritation. That’s kind of major for me.
I was going to post a picture of the shades on me, but I left my camera in St Louis! D’OH! Ah well, I’ll have to see if someone there will email me my pics. Ha!
Before I chose the Czarina Collection, I asked about a million questions! Well, it was really three or four, but they answered them quickly and politely. Chad and Trae even helped give me color options and some different styling methods for their line! How awesome is that?
Now, to the packaging. If you know me, you know I think that packaging is a part of the presentation! When I took my order out of the box, it was wrapped in sheets of handmade paper. Um, swoon! The 3 Custom Color Specialists line comes in the greatest compacts. The shadows came in a Gunmetal-Charcoal metal compact that had a super-clear mirror in it. The lipstick tube was the same color, sans the mirror. And the cool 3 Custom Color logo was embossed on the top. Very chic.
Did I mention that 3 Custom Color also has a lipstick matching program? They do! We all have those favorite makeup shades that the company stops making. Well, 3C will color-match your favorite eye shadow, blush, or lipstick. They can even match your favorite foundation!

I am definitely attracted to the custom blend aspect. I never heard of the company before seeing them on allure. I would definitely look forward to your pics with the makeup on.
That sheer red-pink lipstick looks really gorgeous!
I like the eye colors in this set and would probably get it with my GC but that lipstick color might be more than I can handle. It's a beautiful name for a collection with great inspiration.
I have never heard of this company, but it seems really innovative! I wish you would have swatched the colours as the lipstick looks scary to me! lol Thank you for the review and honest opinion!

Thanks! =)
This is beautiful and unique color customizing make-up! The colors are vivid and remarkable. I bet that everyone who wears this make-up really notices how high quality it is.
I love that they will match colours for you. I have so many "favourite" lipsticks that I can't find anymore. The colours in the set you got seem super bright to me, but I expect it looks better actually on.
I had never heard of this company before, but now I really want to try some of their products. Starting with this set.
I am very interested in trying Custom Color. Their colors are natural looking and I really want to try the #1 CONCEALER. Holly Hennessy Swint astroqueen67@hotmail.com
That lip color is so bright and pretty!
i have very sensitive eye area too ! maybe i should give this a try thanks !
I actually never heard this company but after I read your review and checked their website, I think they have so many great and nice products. Especially I love the eyeshades , those look perfect :-)

i like the lipstick too actually ! that looks like a gorgeos bright red lipstick !
Had never heard of 3 Custom Color Specialists before I read your review. I like that they can color-match. I also like that they aren't prawn to fade and are okay for sensitive as I, too, have sensitive eyes. I would really like to give these products a try. Thanks.
Such neat, unique packaging is bound to make customers come back for more. Attention to detail suggests the product is going to be worth it!
The colour matching service is also a great idea. It's always hard to find something that matches a favourite.

I love the packaging for the eyeshadows! And those colours look gorgeous.
I love the idea of custom color matching. I'm also interested to try their shadows, it seems like they are pretty long-wearing without creasing.
Thanks for your review. My biggest concern about make-up is lasting power. I love lipstick that doesn't require constant touch-ups and stays without looking and/or feeling dry.
I agree that presentation is everything.
Im always on the hunt for a great foundation…theirs on their site looks nice!

i love the lip color :)
everything on their site looks great. I love teh eyeshadow trios
I really like the fact that they can re-create your discontinued lipstick shades for you... I had one from years ago that I loved, and would have loved to have that service back then.
i hope i win this i really need lipstick like thoes
I know what you mean about the crazy colors! I was thinking the same thing when I looked at the shadows! I mean, I'm not one to wear makeup every day! But when I go out, I like to wear makeup. If you say that the colors aren't that much, I can try them out too!

oohhh i love makeup. Its an obsession with me
I am really surprised to see you write that the lipstick is a sheer red-pink. In the picture it looks like a childish hot pink! I am glad you said that though it just goes to show you that pictures do colors a total injustice.

i really like the sound of this company. i can't wait to try their products and see what i think!
they have such a huge variety of make up :)
I never leave home without it :)
I've participated in another giveaway where the prize was a $50 gift card to their shop and that's when I first heard about them. The color matching they do is a really clever idea! I'd definitely use that at some point when choosing colors that suit me! It's true that you can find dupes for almost every makeup product that's been discontinued or is simply too expensive, but a few colors just can't be obtained by any other means than recreating them!
I have never heard of them. I love the color matching though. I had a favorite shade years ago and I would love to get that color again but haven't been able to find it.
