I'm new and I'd never mixed foundation. What do you think I have to try?
Thank you! :P [color=#800040][/color]

I think you will be similar to me. Olive at 1 scoop color to about 12-15 white. I still recommend a sample kit so you can test the formula as well as the color.

Thank you for your answer! About formulas, I'm vegan, so I think I can buy only the vegan. Isn't it? I would like a more covering one, anyway.
have a good day!

Our All Purpose has a little more coverage than the Vegan formula. It might also be worth a try. It is silk free.

Thanks for your advice!

It looks good in the pic. How do you feel it looks? Is there anything you wish was just a little different, or is it good?

I don't know. This is the most similar to my skin - until now - but I need feedback. I mixed ebony and olive. I can't say the precise ratio because I broke the little spoon...but ebony and olive are pretty the same amount.

Pictures can only tell me so much; they just can't represent real life colors perfectly as it only shows one limited aspect of light. The pics look great to me.

I recommend looking in a mirror in all kinds of light, including outside (car mirrors are so convenient....if it looks good in a car mirror, it is a good bet that it is a great match.)

Also, if you need fine tuning feedback, you could try to find a friend who can see the color in person.
