Help Again!

Post by cristy_amk » Thu Dec 16, 2010 7:05 am

Unfortunately my skin is sensitive to silk :( so I had to stop using the regular formula. I experienced some cystic acne but it's gone now :P so now I'm venturing into the Vegan formula. I'm wondering have any of you ladies out there who's maybe reacted to the silk, has the Vegan formula worked???? Also, I posted my pic before for color help and I tried going with an Olive Base but it's still a bit off. I'm coming off a bit too flat and tried adding a little of the Buttery Gold and Warm Gold in my different mixes but it's still not quite right and honestly I'm the WORST person for trying to determine a base color! I'm posting another pic of me with hopes that I can get some more suggestions....I'm sorry that I don't have the proper pics (I know I should have some inside and outside pics, etc. but it's been a little crazy here before the holidays and I just haven't taken the time, sorry!) Well, anyway, here goes...

The last one is indoors but under halogen lighting and I think it's taking some of the color out of my face.

This is fine here. As for Olive being flat, have you tried Ebony? Another option would be to add in some Vegan Date Bait.

I think both of the vegan foundations are good options for those with silk sensitivity.

I haven't tried the Ebony yet but will do when I get my sample kit. I've looked at the Date Bate and have added it to my Wishlist and It'll probably go on my next order ;) I think I'm getting addicted!!!! :lol: Thanks!
