Foundation Color Help

Post by rlaw125 » Tue Jul 14, 2009 3:07 am

I need help figuring out what color to get because I am utterly confused. I don't wear makeup much but when I do, I find that the color of my mineral foundation or tinted moisturizer doesn't match. It's either too light, too dark, or too pink. I tried to figure it out on my own but my pictures confuse me even more. I've narrowed it down to buttery gold or warm gold but I'm not sure if I'm wrong about feeling like I have more warm gold than buttery gold in my skin tone. I hope the pictures help. Thanks!

Your instincts are good. I do see more Warm Gold. However, Buttery is still worth a sample in your case.....pictures only show so much. I am guessing about one scoop color to 6 sccops Ivory for your mix. You might need a little more or less on the Ivory.
