Butter Peach or Golden Medium blend?

Post by pinkpomelo » Thu Aug 27, 2009 12:25 pm

Hi Hi!

My friend is very interested in moving from E....d.. M....... to SN.

She likes Butter Peach and Golden Medium in that brand. Any suggestions on a SN match?

Thank you in advance!!!

Don't know if this would help, but I used a sample of Soft Butter Peach is it was very like the peach in the darker Sleep In A Jar colours, kind of peachy and golden but different to the peach foundation base. You'll definitely need Jen's genius for this one! ;)

Probably Warm Gold or Peach..........It depends on how much golden she has in her skintone. Peach is very dark and requires quite a bit more Ivory to tone it down (not really any golden to speak of in Peach).

your friend may also want to get some of the yellow color corrector for her foundation mix. i used the warm/golden foundations in EDM and my mix uses peach base and yellow color corrector (more yellow than peach, since the peach is quite dark.)

I did not find Soft Butter Peach to be very yellow. It was more pink than yellow. Still, Packgal is absolutely right that yellow color booster can be used to warm foundations up a little without adding more brown.

Thanks for the suggestions. She's Chinese and has fair skin with yellow undertones, but likes the pinkish tones because it adds life to her face.

I want to do a blend for her to try but I don't have the yellow corrector. I'll probably try the Buttery Gold and then add a touch of Ebony to see if that will work.
