Foundation shade help

Post by whitechina » Sun Jan 27, 2013 1:36 pm

Ooops! meant to post this under foundation help....eek!

Hi everyone! I'm new to shading and foundation from SN, and don't wear any usually. But I'd like to try MMU to cover redness and even out my skin tone. I don't know where to start though--I don't know if I'm cool or warm or neutral?

Here are a few pics, it's hard to angle my ipad's camera...but these were taken in natural light 1) with sun 2) cloudy day, mid-afternoon and 3) AM, by window...from these past few days. I also have clogged pores and acne, hopefully MMU helps!

Hi!

You look like you will fall into our Olive. 1 scoop color to about 10-14 white depending on the base. I usually recommend starting with light coverage like our Original foundation for starters. It is the easiest for beginners.
