Hi,

I ordered a sample kit, it hasn't arrived yet but I'd like your opinion, since my skin is quite pale it's hard for me to find a good match.

Also, how can I take the pictures down once I get a reply?

Thank you

I will take the pics down....

I think you will be an Ebony...close to 1 scoop color to about 10-12 white scoops. You might also need a pop of yellow, but try the Ebony first. If you are able to tell me what is not quite right, I can help you fix it.

Interesting, usually I feel better with yellow toned foundations. I'll play with the samples and see what I end up with. Thank you!

Sorry, I have no pictures of myself right now that really show my face up close and my camera hasn't been working right so I'm waiting to get it replaced - but I know my perfect match in a different company so hopefully that will work. My current foundation (which I'm running out of) is BareFaced Minerals's Velvet Plush in Y1.5. SN is one of the recommendations for a replacement foundation I received, and I have to admit that so far I like what I've heard..... now I'm just hoping to get some specific recommendations to help with picking a formula and blending my own color. Really I would appreciate any information that can help point me in the right direction.

I really like the somewhat heavier coverage (some people describe it as medium) and "creaminess" of the foundation I use now. I would have to describe my coloring as mostly yellow, very pale, but there seems to be a slight neutral as well (some of the veins through the skin of my underarm appear blue, but most appear green) - I have received compliments wearing earth tones, jewel tones, gold jewelry, and silver jewelry. When I was wearing liquid foundation I usually had to worry about too much orange or pink when wearing "neutral" or "ivory" from many companies, so I think my skin tone is mostly yellow especially on my face & neck.

Any recommendations I would give would be a guess other than trying the yellow toned bases. I would try Buttery Gold, Olive, and Yellow Booster. You will probably want the All Purpose foundation. Yor ratios will be in the 1 scoop color to around 10 in Buttery Gold, and 1 scoop color to around 20 in Olive. I wish I could be more specific.

Thanks Jen - given how little I could give you right now to go on, you were definitely specific enough. I'll give the Buttery Gold a try first (with the All Purpose sample kit) and go from there. If I run into any problems, at least I'll be able to give you a better reference to work from.

i need foundation help, please!

I'm about to place an order for a starter kit, and i'm unsure of what recipe to use once it arrives. I plan on also ordering a sample of the peach color, as well as the ebony, warm gold, olive, and buttery gold.

i'm including a few photos for reference. i find them all to be pretty accurate. in all of them i'm wearing no face MU.


i'm more freckled in this one, not so freckly now.





all of them are indoors with a flash, but are still have pretty true-to-life skin color IMO.

thanks in advance, guys!

I am thinking wither Warm Gold or Olive. I know it might not sound right, but I do think you have a slightly warm skintone. For Warm Gold about a 1 scoop color to around 10 white. In Olive, 1 scoop color to about 14 white. I do think Warm Gold will be closest.
