clivia-
Based on your pics and the info you gave on what didn't work quite right, I am leaning either Olive, or a color blend of Warm Gold an Ebony.

Olive around 1:14 (I wore Sunkissed Fair in the winter and this is about where I fall.....Olive Fair was about the right tone for me, too, but too light-ashy)
If Olive is not yellow enough, you will need a shot at Warm Gold 1:10ish. If that is not right, there are still a few things we can try.

Can't find where it was mentioned that Date Bait might work as well as PMUP for an all over face primer/color corrector. Does it come in a sample because I couldn't find a sample? Thanks

Here's the sample of the regular date bait:

I have the vegan formula and I love it. It is more tan than pink.

I'm in need of guidance...I really dont know where to start. Year round I wear a 1:1 mix of EDM Sandy Fair:Beige Fairly Light. It's a perfect match for me. What should I start with? Thanks in advance, you ladies are lovely!

EDIT:I'm so sorry these pics are so big, I dont know how to fix it! Please forgive me!!(and help!)

Lighting is not ideal but it's the only recent pic with no makeup

Hi Chelsea,
I really think Warm Gold is for you...probably about 1Warm Gold:9-11 Ivory. Your pics are great. No worries about the size!

Hi Jen,

I posted in another thread last night, but then saw this one and thought maybe I should post here....Anyhow, I just wanted to get opinions on my mix. I think it looks good, but sometimes I am a terrible judge of these things.

This was taken outdoors with no flash...

I just have to say the finish of this foundation is awesome!!! I don't know why I waited so long to try it and the finishing powder to die for. My EDM always made me look a little chalky and I would try to buff some of it away, but then I never got the coverage I was looking for and this stuff actually covers the dreaded sun spots on my cheeks without looking like a put a pound of concealer on. I am definitely a true convert now! :D

I would love any opinions on any tweaks I may need to my mix which is:

1 Warm Gold
3 Ivory Medium Coverage

Thanks,
Susan

Holy Cow!!! I thought I resized that pic, but apparently not. Sorry... :oops:

Oooh, I hate close ups you can really see all the imperfections. ;) Thank goodness for Karen's wonderful makeup to hide some of it.
