Post by samakosem » Tue Apr 06, 2010 1:20 pm


I have a blue dark hiper pigmantation in the lips area, under my nose. i made a concealer with the heavy base and Peach color but its too pink.
I need to make it orange.
only orange can hide blue pigmantation. can you suggest me please what do I need to mix to make it orange? please?

It's straight-forward colour mixing, like from primary school / kindergarten. :) Add pink and yellow and you get orange. Try adding a little of the Yellow Colour Booster, or Warm Gold foundation base (as this is mostly yellow but also has a hint of olive / green and in a small way, that will also help balance the pink).

If you're set on a true dark orange, you can use the flame and canary eyeshadows with the heavy foundation base. I should think straight yellow (like the color booster) into fdt base should work fine without any orange or you can add a little peach to it if necessary.
