hmmiller-

The color looks really good in the pictures. I know sometimes in person it can be a little different, but from what I see it is good. For a finisher, try our Perfecting Powder. For a concealer try Light Peach for undereyes, and for a face concelaer, try micing a smallish batch of foundation one scoop lighter than your foundation (1WG:10 or 11Ivory)

Hi there!

I'm new to the forum and I've already placed an order for a sample kit and I was wondering if you could help me find out a match for my skintone. My skintone is very similar to the attached photo.

Cheers! :)

kaycee,

I would start with Warm Gold or Buttery gold in about a 1:5 or 6 ratio. I am leaning Warm gold based on the picture, but I since it is not acctually you in the photo, it will be less accurate.

Do you think it would be worth it for me to try a sample of the peach or is my skin tone not that warm? thanks!

I think Peach will be too pink and not enough yellow.

Ok thanks! Just curious, I ran out of my warm gold and I was wondering if I mixed my buttery gold and ebony sample if they would give me a similar color.
