Eyeko Bespoke Mascara
We're not sure about you, but doesn't it feel like you're constantly searching for the perfect mascara? Don't get us wrong — there are so many great options out there but even when you find a near-perfect match, it still sometimes feels like it's missing something. Eyeko, known for eye cosmetics, totally understands that dilemma and rolled out its "Bespoke Mascara" in response.

You begin by answering questions about what your lashes are like, including texture, length, fullness and whether or not they're damaged. Next, you describe what you're looking for in a perfect mascara. Maybe it's extra volume, a "my lashes, but better" natural look, a mascara that'll last the longest days, or a product that boosts lash strength. You even get to choose which type of brush head you like (hallelujah)!

From there, Eyeko will formulate the perfect mascara for your lashes and they'll even monogram the tube if you're feeling fancy. The total cost is $40 (plus $4 for monogram), which is splurge-y for a mascara, but not unheard of, and a great price for a product that's built specifically for you.

Hawthorne Cologne
Hawthorne has taken on the purist definition of a signature scent by allowing its customers to formulate a cologne that's made according to their every wish. Like Prose and Eyeko, you're ushered in with series of questions as soon as you get to the website. They'll ask you what your fragrance expertise is, what scent categories you're most drawn to, your body temperature, lifestyle preferences, fashion sense, what you do for a living and even how you spend your Saturday nights.

All these answers are then analyzed, and you're presented with two different fragrances — one for work and one for play — that are made by Hawthorne's esteemed perfumers. You can buy just one for $55 or both for $100.

The products are bespoke in the sense that Hawthorne selects them based off your answers, but note that other people may answer similarly and will receive the same fragrance. Also note that Hawthorne will yield masculine-leaning scents, so if that's your thing, then it's a great option. It's also great if you're seeking gifts for him. If you prefer a more feminine scent for your bespoke fragrance experience, consider Lvnea or Scent Trunk.

Belle Bar Organic Masks
For organic, customized hair masks, hair teas and face masks, check out Belle Bar. This company specializes in utilizing the power of natural ingredients and creating bespoke products for your particular skin care and hair care needs.

You begin by choosing a base — such as the Custom Regenerating Rice Hair Mask, Custom Thickening Tea Rinse or Custom Deep Detox Volcanic Ash Face Mask — and then customize it with add-on ingredients. For example, you may add a banana curl relaxer and moringa growth stimulator to your hair mask, or you might add acne-controlling acai berry or soothing honey to your face mask.

Once customized, simply press buy and the products will be shipped to your door. The prices are very affordable at under $30 per product, which contains enough for multiple uses. You can also upgrade to a larger size if you want more.

Bite Beauty Lip Lab
Have you ever come across a lipstick that's the absolute perfect shade for you, but you're not a fan of the finish? Or maybe you've never actually found a color that flatters your complexion the way you've always dreamed? Whatever the case, Bite Beauty's Lip Lab might be a dream come true for you.

The company has three Lip Lab locations, San Francisco, New York City and Toronto, where you sit down with a Lab Artist and they'll custom-create a lipstick that's tailored according to your preferences. For the color, mix and match from nearly 200 exclusive-to-Bite Beauty pigments until you get it just right. You'll also get to choose the finish (Glossy Sheer, Matte Creme, Amuse Bouche) and even a scent (Cherry, Mint, Vanilla, Mango, Violet, Coconut, Wild Berry, Fresh Citrus).

Prices vary depending on the lab you go to but expect to pay around $55 for one lipstick. You can even level-up for an even more customized experience, which involves a more detailed session, two lipsticks and a Lip Lab Exclusive Lip Kit for $150.

We love the idea of having a bespoke signature lipstick for everyday wear or even a custom-made option for a really important occasion, such as your wedding, graduation or a formal event.

LOLI Beauty
LOLI Beauty, which stands for Living Organic Loving Ingredient, is a clean and green beauty brand that offers customized skin care products. They operate under the premise that your skin changes constantly — sometimes on a daily or monthly basis — so offering custom-made products to tend to your of-the-moment needs is the brand's number one priority.

It's set up similarly to Belle Bar in the sense that you choose a potent, highly effective base and then combine it with two or three single-note ingredients from its Raw Collection. For example, let's say you're looking for a gentle exfoliating scrub that deeply nourishes and hydrates your skin. You'd start with the Purple Corn Grains base, then add the Prickly Pear Seed Oil and Rose Water. When you're ready, combine to create a paste and apply.

The website has some recipes laid out with the option of buying each of the products you need for it with one click. These can also provide some inspiration for your own recipes. Of course, you can also read information about each of the bases and mix-ins on the website to make informed buying decisions. There's a wide range of prices and each product allows for multiple uses.
