Thank you so much, ladies! Jen, you are amazing (and great memory!). You're my hero.

Jen,

It's been a couple of weeks I think, but this is these are the pic's with 2WG to 7Ivory. What do you think? I took these outside, it was a bit overcast.

I'm not sure if I'm doing the image thing right, but here goes.

This one is in natural light with no make-up (no sunlight because it's non-stop snowing here)


This one is with flash and no make-up


This one is with the mix of SN that I made this weekend (6 ivory: 1 buttery gold: .5 olive)


What do you think? Should I tweak it? Maybe I'm missing some undertones? I really have no idea when it comes to skin colouring.

lwoodall/Susan.....It looks great! I think you have your match. How do you like it?

yogingineer....It looks great to me. I think you have all undertones represented. It looks very natural.

Thanks Jen! Now I can place another order

ETA: Does that make me a 'Warm'??

[Rhys]

If you really want to be a warm, you can. It's nice to fit sometimes, better to have a good match!

You look like you could wear a wide range of colours - warm and quite a few cool ones, too.

Jen - I love it! Thanks for all the help and thanks to Karen for making such great products. I don't know why I didn't try it before, it feels like I'm wearing nothing. My old base I could feel it on me and if I brushed up against anything there was always transfer. I am a true convert now! Thanks again!

Hi everybody!
I'd love to find a match in SN so please help.

I think I might be quite neutral. In EDM I could pull off Fairly Light (I felt it made me a bit ruddy though), Fairly Light Neutral and even Sweet Almond, although none really gave me a wow effect. When I had some tan Light Medium was a great match.
I liked the coverage of EDM Intensive.
I also have trouble with covering my undereye circles so please suggest a concealer and I'd love to get a natural lip color recommendation for very pigmented lips.
Thanks!

Here's a no makeup pic with flash, with a bit more tan than I have at the moment:


Here I'm wearing EDM Fairly Light:


And an outdoor pic in a shade, I believe it makes me look too yellow but shows undereye circles and natural lip color well:

[JenW]

Gigi-

I really am thinking Olive at about 1 scoop color to 12-14 Ivory in Medium Coverage. If that is not yellow enough, you will be a Warm Gold at about 1:9. For concealer try Sleep in a Jar Light Peach. For a nude lip, Birthday Suit, Nectar or Fig Leaf. You have reddish lips like me, and those three are my staples. (If I had to pick one it would be Fig Leaf.) Maiden might work, but I see it as a more summery color. I am betting Breathless will look pretty pink on you (it does on me).

Your coloring is very close to mine, so this one was easy!

Hi, So Well I thought I had my mix down but now I am not so sure, it looks a bit off...so I need some help...
I was EDM Buff Perfect, that was the best match but it wasn't 100%.
So I ordered the sample kit, and upon seeing other recs, I used WG in a ration of about 1:8. I did a similar batch with Olive and that also looked completely fine, but it seemed a little off, although I cannot pinpoint why, there was just something not right.
So now I did a mix of WG with Olive. The depth is fine, but the colour looks a bit too pink...is this even possible with my mix?
I know the WG has a bit of all the colours, but I am so surprised that I am finding the mix too pinky.

should I try a mix with BG instead (and still add some olive?)?
this mix is fine, and get's me through the day, but I'd like something better...
thanks for the help!
