Hi,

It is not very easy to tell much from this angle of a pic. Your nose and chin look pretty neutral, so I would probably lean Olive. And it is a complete guess that it will run about 1 scoop color to about 11 white. I still strongly recommend the sample kit that comes with all of the base colors just to be sure. I could give a much better recommendation from at least a half face. If you are not interested in posting a full face photo for everone to see, please feel free to pm a pic link to me.

Yep...I still think Olive. Try it at about 1 scoop color to 10 or 11 white.

It is so funny because the first pic was clipped the first time I saw it. I literally only saw the tip of your nose and chin. It must be the way our forum reads the links from photobucket.
