Hia,
I'm using SN products (lippies, finishing powders etc.) for a long time, also I've bought foundation samples on my first order (there was only a few or only one base on that time, can't remember excatly but I've got ebony base only=)) but I couldn't find a match. Although increasing the ratio of ivory, my recipies appeared too pinky-rosy on me. I think I should add some buttery gold or warm gold. For reference I use ivory İn EDM.
Thanks for your help

I am not really sure what the undertones are in EM's Ivory because the descriptions are kind of vague, and it is one I have never seen in person. Since Ebony was too pink, I am guessing you should try Warm Gold next. I really think you will be somewhere in between the two, because I am guessing Warm Gold will be too yellow. I am thinking it is pretty fair, too. Try 1Ebony:1WarmGold:13-16 Ivory. I know it sounds like a high number of Ivory, but it averages out to a 1:8ish.
