Foundation mix

Post by sws2011 » Tue Sep 06, 2011 6:33 am

Hi Jen,

I hope you are well.

I am currently using 1 Buttery gold to 3 white and although it is a very good match I sometimes feel I look slightly on the yellow side - I am chinese so do have a slight yellow undertone but am more neutral tone than yellow.

What can I do to make mixture less yellow?

Thanks
Sophia

I would probably go with adding some Olive. Olive at a 1:8 ratio should be close to your depth. If you are wanting to use up the Buttery Gold Mix, first try 1 scoop of the Buttery Mix to 1 scoop of the Olive mix. If you still need less yellow, add 1 more scoop of the Olive mix. If you can tell me what ratio of the two ratios you used, we can calculate a recipe for you.
