Question about using olive foundation as concealor

Post by happyhiker » Sun Oct 25, 2009 3:11 pm

I have tried the unblush for some redness on my chin and other areas, and it just doesn't work for me. Mint in Everyday Minerals never did, either. What DID work was using their light almond foundation (olive category). It covered redness and did not look weird on me. I used to use Beige Fairly Light and now I use 1:8 or 9 ebony to ivory in medium coverage. I would love to use SN as my concealor as well, and was hoping that someone might be able to help suggest a formula that I could use.

Thanks in advance!

Try Olive in a 1:14 or so..... It is always worth a try.

Thanks! I don't know if I have enough ivory or if I'll have to buy more, but I will check back in once I've tried it.
