Honest AI verdicts on makeup — Buy, Maybe, or Skip
0 followers
ShadeDash checks any beauty product against your saved profile — skin tone, undertone, face shape, concerns, even your style inspiration — and against the products you already own. Then it gives you a straight answer: Buy, Maybe, or Skip. Every verdict ends with a concrete "try this first" test and, when a product isn't right, a specific "buy this instead." Trilingual (English / Spanish / 简体中文). First 3 verdicts free every month, no card required.

Hi everyone — I'm Shile Li (Christine), solo founder of ShadeDash, and it started in a store aisle.
I used to ask ChatGPT whether I should buy makeup. I'd upload photos of products and swatches, and it worked — until it didn't. The free version caps how many photos you can upload unless you pay for Pro, and every single time I had to type out my whole situation again: my skin tone, my undertone, what I already owned. Standing in Sephora, phone in one hand, product in the other, typing an essay. Every time.
So I built the version that remembers. ShadeDash saves your profile once — skin tone, undertone, face shape, concerns, style inspiration — plus the products already in your collection. Then in the store you just snap a photo of the product, and it answers like a brutally honest friend who knows your drawer: Buy, Maybe, or Skip — with a specific "try this first" test and, when it's a no, a "buy this instead."
It talks me out of more than it talks me into, and that's the point. It saved me from purchasing a $72 Chanel Water Tint because I already own products that do the same job twice. When it says Buy, it has earned it.
It's fully trilingual (English / Spanish / 简体中文), free for your first 3 verdicts every month with no card, and if you subscribe during November you keep $4.99/month for as long as your subscription stays active.
I'd love your honest feedback.
So tell me — what's the last beauty buy you regretted?
