I forgot a question... I'm considering Pout, Delacoeur, Centerfold, Ambrosia, Bisou, Bloom and Creampuff for my lips. I know some of them are on the cooler side. Will they work anyway? I like the colours when I check out the swatches, but anyway.... What do you think?

Sugar is to cool for me. Rhapsody is too much colour.

I like Mirage, Cultured, Peace, Foreplay, Ginny, Maiden and St Tropez.

Creampuff and Delacoeur are similar to Sugar, but they might be different enough. The others look good.

Thank you! I am not sure of what foundation I'm wearing on the picture.. ... I totally forgot that I can change the white! I have the medium coverage now. Maybe switch to Original? A friend of mine told me that you have something called All purpose now?

Of the three options, which one do you think would be the best? Change to Olive, Original Cover or All Purpose?

Thanks a lot for your always quick response!

Thanks for the reply about lippies! What do you say about the above?

I am sorry I missed that part....I would start with Original Coverage with Warm Gold. The only reason to switch to All Purpose is if you need simpler ingredients, or have issues with dryness.

Hello, I'm working up my first ever SN order. I have attached a picture, taken outside, in good light with me in completely naked face (GASP!) MAC defines me as NC15-20. What do you suggest for foundation mix? Thanks in advance!

Brinn-

I think the best start is a sample kit. I kind of think Warm gold will be too pink but a ratio in that shade would be 1Warm Gold:9White. Olive might actually work better and help a little with the redness. In that shade, 1 Olive:12-15 White. I also think Buttery Gold might work at a 1 Buttery Gold:8 white.

I know I did not give you a very narrow answer, but I think your undertones are not simple. I see warm and yellow, and you are definitely in the fair range. The other colors might help to address some of the pink that seems to be from irritation. I wouldprobably start with Olive and Buttery Gold bases.

Hello, I'm new to SN and I'm trying to figure out which foundation kit to order. I have yellow undertones with just a smidge of olive. Also, peach undertones or pretty much any other cool undertones turn orange on my skin so they won't work. I'm thinking I'm a Warm Gold but I'd like a second opinion before I continue. I've included a pic here and it was taken in direct sunlight so it should show my skin pretty well. My body is lighter than my face, so I always match my foundation to my neck. Thank you!

I think Warm Gold will be too peachy. Try Buttery Gold. I am guessing 1 scoop color to about 7 or 8 white.

Hello!
I need some help determine my skin tone and right color foundation.
I need foundation or stick corrector because I have populous pustular rosacea.
I am now 30 and total newbie to powders. Last month I got as sample Vichy Aera Teint for dry skin(fluid dont have coverage) and it dint caused me reaction on skin, I bought shade ivory 23 but now as summer came it is to pale.
My skin reacts badly on Max Factor, Deborah, Miss Spoty and similar drug store brands. Good reactions were only on Clinique and Vichy. But I havens other brands except this I wrote.
Since I bought Vichy I could go out even if I break out, currently my skin is calm but I want to get foundation any way since I am traveling aboard in August were more brands would be available

I think I have warm skin, as child I have had golden blond hair later on it was medium honey and now it is brown. On son it get some of golden glow but very unnoticeable. And my veins look a bit more greenish then bluish but I have both so I can decide. I look good in medium foundations not to pale even on photos I am pale. I dont think that honey suits me well maybe sand beige but I am not shore.
an all photos no powder or foundation, just eyes make up
me long ago no foundation, with some old camera shot when I first got rosacea

and on this photo I look cool toned? I am not shore what camera do add color or reduce...

on this one I look warm toned



I will add more photos since no more then 3 is alowed..
