I just got my most recent order. The "Light Peach" Sleep in a Jar and "Date Bait" Perfecting Powder are both an exact match for my skin tones. What do I do? I feel like I should just order the SIAJ and wear that but I think it probably doesn't work that way, right?

Did you ever try the Peach foundation? You would probably be about a 1: close to 20. It is one of our darkest bases.

I will definitely give that a try in my next order. I'm on a no more makeup buying until January. *hides*

Hi Jen -

So I finally got it. In medium coverage I am 1 WG: 6 Ivory. So what would I do for the heavy formula and the original? I want to make a concealer with. I also have a sample of the glow ivory that I will probably substitute one of the ivory's with one scoop of the glow! Thanks so much for your help!

Do you want your concealer the same depth?.. If so, 1:about 5 heavy should do it. If you want to mix a little lighter in color, use the same formula as Medium Coverage....in Original, you will be about a 1:7.

Hello, I need a little bit of foundation help. I used to wear a mix of Olive Light darkened with Everyday Bronzer from EDM. Not a perfect match. I couldn't wear the other Olives because they all contain Chromium Oxide Greens that cause cystic acne on my face. My eyes are a green-blue color and my hair is dark brown. I'm not wearing any makeup and I'm in the middle of growing out my eyebrows, so they are uneven. I want to try the Medium coverage and Vegan foundation (my skin might not like the silk). Do you know which foundations have Chromium Oxide greens in them?

Hi shanowaw,
I am just the mixer and not the formulator. In your case, I think we need to defer to Karen. I will send an email about which bases have Chromium Oxide Green.

Blush : try Embrace, Satisfied, and Forbidden.
Lippies: Fig Leaf (should be close to the same color as your lips) and Breathless, Black Dahlia will be a great dressier look, lipsticks...Sultry or Negligee.

I use chromium oxide on kind of an "as needed" basis so we list it as a may contain. There isn't much in the ebony, but there's quite a bit in the olive, and the warm gold.

Luckily yellow and blue make green too! How are you with ultramarines? I'm thinking it wouldn't be difficult to make a blue color corrector, and I think we can get something that will work for you.

Thanks, Jen. Is the mixing ratio different between different coverages? I think I am going to get the medium coverage and a sample of the glow foundation.
