medium, warm base help!

Post by nuts4makeup » Sat Dec 20, 2008 12:52 am

I can't decide if I need buttery gold or warm gold. I use light olive in EM, which is a bit off and I use their medium tan to contour. I haven't found my exact shade yet in EM. My skin is lighter now that it's winter and my hair isn't black anymore, it's a light-medium brown, I don't know if that makes a difference as to what foundation shade I should get..haha. Please help, I've never been good with figuring out my skintone!

I would really suggest a blend of mostly Warm Gold and a little Ebony for your color base. I honestly don't see much yellow in your tone. However, based upon what you wear in EM, an additional sample of the Buttery will be worth it.

I'd second Jen's suggestion... I actually find I can switch between warm and buttery gold w no real problem but then at the quantities I use... its hardly noticeable (11ivory/1ebony/1warm/buttery gold)
