I asked this before but just couldn't get the colour right. I did a swatch on my arm. I'm currently using a warm gold/ivory mix. Is that the right colour for me?

If I go by how the pic looks on my screen, yes, I think so. Warm Gold blends in the best. You can see the yellow stand out in the Buttery, and the Ebonys are slightly too pink for you (Deep Ebony is just a more pigmented version of Ebony) . The Peach is interesting, though. I wonder if you added a little peach into the mix, if you would like it better. You would want mostly Warm Gold for your color base, though.
The other thing, I can't get a good match for my face if I go by the swatches on my arm. My arms are usually more golden, warm, and darker than my face. If I swatch the underside of my arm, it is too pale. Just make sure you do a jawline swatch, too.

Cool! Thanks Jen! I'll take your advice on the Peach and see if I like it added in.

Try the same swatches on your jawline and see what you think, but I agree with Jen on her color assessment based on your photo!
