SN collection, foundation help, wish list, suggestions?

[DivineJocy]

Hi ladies I hope you guys can help me. First of all, sorry if I sound like I'm all over the place! BTW, I'm half Mexican and half Salvadorian. I think my face, neck, and chest are lighter than my body because my arms are so dark! I guess you could say that I'm tan but I'm not sure! I need help with creating a foundation shade that matches my skintone. (I think my foundation shade from Honeybee Gardens is the shade Montego... Malibu is too light for me.) I've tried before (making my own from the SN Intro to Foundation Kit) and I failed! Someone once told me that I have olive skin. I don't know what my undertone is! Also I want to try out more SN products that look good on skin tone. The products I want to try must be vegan and dye free! Can you ladies help me? I included my SN collection and my wishlist. Can you ladies tell me if those colors (in my wishlist) suit me? BTW, should I include a picture of my face so you can see my skin tone? Also does anyone know the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya? That is my favorite color but it's not cruelty free and natural. Any dupe for that by SN? BTW I'm a newbie to makeup... still. Sorry for the long post! Thanks in advance!

First, your Vegan foundation kit: You are probably Olive or Warm Gold. I can only guess without a photo. My recommendation is to do a swipe of each on your jawline to see which one looks like it has the same colors as your face/neck. It will be too dark and need to be lightened with the white, so you will have to see which one looks most similar to you. If I had to guess a starting ratio, I would guess 1 scoop Warm Gold to about 5 white, or 1 scoop Olive to about 8 white.

For something close to Juicy Papaya, try Pretty Please and possibly Georgia. How close is Allure?

I think the eyeshadow sets you have chosen would be good choices.

Your wishlist also looks like it has a good selection of things! Happy shopping!

I will be trying Georgia. I'm not sure about Pretty Please. I thought it wasn't vegan. Allure is kind of darker than Juicy Papaya. I still like Allure though. I included 3 pictures. Sorry if the pictures look weird.

[JenW]

Try the Olive foundation.

Description and ingredient list for Pretty Please (same formula as Allure):

Pretty Please is a sheer slightly sparkly warm peachy pink. It's just one of those easy, pretty, looks good with pretty much anything colors.

Is it really vegan? I looked at the ingredients and they're fine. I don't get why it says it's not vegan in the additional information.

[JenW]

Yes it is vegan.

It looks like we need to fix the sort parameters on that one. I would always trust the written information before the sort information. (All that information at the bottom is what runs our sorting functions on the website, so they are more like data entry.)

However, I will send an email into HQ just to be certain.
