Findation doesn't say on its site how it calculates matches. It says it is powered by over 162 million users, and it asks you to enter foundations you have worn. Its tips say results get better the more shades you enter, and to enter only shades you would buy again. So how accurate it is for you depends mostly on what you put in.
