Hello Jen et al.,

I am currently wearing Meow's Frisky Sphinx. It's a pretty close match to my skin tone although lately I've noticed it looks to red/pink on me. I do have yellow undertones (I'm Asian) but I don't tan easily (I freckle instead). I purchased a sample kit but haven't fully dived into it. When I swatched on my forearm over the white base, I was surprised to see that I might actually be a Warm Gold and not as much Ebony as I thought I might be but my forearm is lighter and more yellow than my face (which has redness/pickness in it naturally). Suggestions on a recipe?

Jen, I sent an email to the address in your signature with a picture of me.

Thank you Jen and forum!

Hi, I am not sure what colors I should use. I am interested in the medium and heavy coverage foundations.
If you could guide me as to the color combinations I would be grateful!

Thank you
Suzanne

Hi, it's nice to see the forums are back up. Is this one still monitored? I'm looking to start the foundation but need some color guidance.
