Need Foundation Help? Please post here.......

Thank you for your patience, Ladies!

JJones-
I think Ebony is the place for you to start. I am thinking you will need about 1scoop color to about 9 white. It will probably look light going on. Once you give that a try, we can see if it needs anything else like the Yellow Booster.

I am thinking Ebony for you, too. At about 1 scoop Ebony to 8 or 9 white. Do you have foundation on in your pic?

If adding Warm Gold plus white to the mix was not quite right, adding Buttery Gold plus white might be better. Some Sandy Fairs end up at straight Warm Gold 1:12. Some end up at a Buttery Gold/Ebony blend...some at a Warm Gold/Ebony blend.

Ok, I'll try that this weekend. I'll let you know how I succeed.

Thanks!

I do not have anything on except very badly matched concealer under my eyes
If it would help I can post another picture.

No need for another pic. I was just trying to determine what to recommend. I still think Ebony is the best way to go. It should help to even out the tone of your face and neck. If you feel you look too washed out in Ebony alone, we can adjust from there. Let me know how it goes.

Here I go again. Feel like I´m spaming this site So sorry for being so timeconsuming!!!
Think the buttery gold is too yellow. Not quite right either.


But ebony is too pink instead. (I´m running out of white soon so I had to mix in some glow foundationbase to make it last longer.)
(all three pictures is taken in daylight but I forgot to switch off the flash on my camera. Ebony looks warmer in this picture, it made me a bit more washed out. I only wear foundation on my face, not my neck or chest.
Warm gold was a little off aswell as you can see earlier in the thread.

I´m probably a mix of two base coulors, or I´m I doing something wrong? Think I have the right amount of white in all of them but the colors turn out a little wrong, the ebony might be a bit too much white. Mayby it´s hard finding the right match when this pale, everything looks ok cause there is so much white. Maybe easier as spring arrives and I get some more color?

I´m probably a mix of two base coulors, or what do your think?
Where do I go from here?

Jen will probably have a better answer for you, but I wear a mix of ebony and buttery gold, with a touch of warm gold or olive, depending on my hair color and what time of year it is. Because with just ebony, it's way too pink, and with just buttery gold it's too yellow and makes me look a bit jaundiced. I have weird bluish green veins and tend to turn most liquid foundations orange, so cool toned vs warm toned never works for my skin. Since you're running out of white, try mixing together a bit of both...that's actually how I found my mix. I thought I'd never get it right!

What would happen if you mixed to two mixes together in equal amounts? They both look pretty good in the pictures, but I know that pictures can only show so much, so I will take your word for it. And you are doing everything right! We do have several customers that are blends. It is just easier to mix one color base if it works for you. In your case, it seems that a blend will be a better match.

Do you mean mixing my BG-mix with my Ebony-mix?
How is WG different from a blend of BG and Ebony? Is WG both pink and yellow, or more like red and yellow?
Wich of the three is closest in the pictures, BG, ebony or WG?

A mix of Buttery Gold and Ebony will lack peach.

Buttery Gold- slight Olive(the golden), yellow
Warm Gold- slight Olive, slight yellow, peach
Ebony- neutral, very slight pink

The reason I am thinking no for the Warm Gold is that there is a slight pink component in Warm Gold (peach = yellow + pink)...and you have more than enough pink in the Ebony.

Mix one or two scoops of the ebony mix with one or two scoops of the buttery gold mix and see how that matches. If it does, we can make a recipe from the two ratios pretty easily.
