Cooler shade of foundation

Post by Ghost » Sat May 03, 2008 3:44 pm

Hi Karen (and everyone else)

I was wondering if you can make a foundation shade which is a little more cooler.

At the mo my receipe is 1 ebony to 9 ivory (sometime 10) and even those it does work, on some days I have to apply two layers instead of the usual one. When I do that its not so cool in tone and leans more to the warm side.


I know your busy karen (with the new website and all) but I would love a reply on what you think.

Thanks mikie

Love "all" of your photos, especially the ones with your pets.

I plan to change the photo in June when I go out with the girls again and I'm all glamed up :lol:

This little baby girl is Texie Kay & she's in the doggie hospital with pancreatitis :-( ~ poor baby! She's a dear friend's dog & we were hoping she'd get sprung from the hospital today.

THIS little munchkin *is* ours. His name is ABie. My husband rescued him & his family ~ they'd been abandoned in the woods. My hubby went out looking for mushrooms & came home with a mother cat & all her babies,LOLOL! My friends adopted ABie's brothers & sister, but ABie adopted *us*.

Hi,
It's great to put a face with the name! I would *almost* bet money that you're mixing it a little too dark- I'm about as pale as you are and at this time of year I mix at about 12 to 1. Too dark will seem too warm on a pale girl- try another scoop or 2 of white and see what you think.
