Need some help with foundation mix...

I am working with medium coverage and the ebony base. I am finding it frustrating. I am quite pale, so I mixed it 1:10. Went outside in full sun and it was too dark. Added two more scoops of white to go to 1:12, and it looked like it blended well in full sun. About forty minutes after I applied a fu...

Re: tinted moisturizer using mineral foundation

I have tinted moisturizer with minerals before several times, but as noted above, it really only works if you mix on an as needed basis. I typically just shake some powder into the palm of my hand and squirt my moisturizer there and kind of "stir" with my finger before I put it on. I will ...

Re: Confused? Help me on where to start....

Thanks so much for the advice....I'm cautious using anything that contains citrus oil. I've not had a reaction to anything specific, but I am very sensitive to consuming Vitamin C in food. So I'm glad there are samples, too. I got a sample box of Olay Regenerist (that I plan to give away as there wa...

Re: Need Foundation Help? Please post here.......

Very pale and tending toward yellow really does not fall into our Ebony range. Although, Ebony plus Yellow Booster might come out about perfect. The Cool Fair kind of surprises me because there is not any yellow in it, and Cool Fair would fall into our Ebony range. I am guessing a 1 scoop color to ...

Re: Need Foundation Help? Please post here.......

I think I'm ready to order and try things out to see if the foundation here works better than the one I am using. I am very pale and tending toward yellow....blue veins, wear cool colors, look really awful in any makeup with any brown or peach in it whatsoever...like I put dirt on my face. I am curr...
