Confused about where to start (foundation help)

Post by aoitori » Thu Aug 27, 2009 3:50 am

Hello everyone!
I got my silk naturals samples yesterday (super fast shipping!) and I'm really excited to use them. But I'm not sure where to start. I can't figure out which dark to use. I'm currently using Everyday Minerals Light Olive foundation. I've posted a picture. Any suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks!

Your closest match will be Buttery Gold. Try about a 1 scoop color to 5 or 6 scoops Ivory. It may need to be a little lighter than that......you may need a few more scoops of Ivory.
