Blushes turn orange on me. Why?

Even the very cool-toned blushes and eyeshadows turn orangey. Is this a common thing? I assume it has to do with the minerals mixing with my natural oils; the foundation does darken on me, but it doesn't change tone/shade like the pinks do. *edited to add: all brands of mineral blush (really anythin...

Re: Pressing medium

Has anyone tried pressing things other than eyeshadow (foundation, bronzer, etc)?

Re: Foundation Recipes :-)

Just ordered the sample kit and can't wait to start mixing! I've been wearing sunscreen religiously and now my current foundations are way too dark. Alima Golden 0.5 (a mix of 0 and 1) used to look pretty good. I could use some help, though, as I've always been impossible to match. In some lights I ...

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

Thank you! I ordered some samples and was right in between G20 and G30. I also found the concealer to be warmer (pinker) than the foundation.

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

Thanks :-)

Re: Brow cream shade between medium brown and auburn!

Great point! This sample is gonna last me forever. I stuck mine in the microwave for a few seconds to soften, then mixed them together in one pod :-D
