newbie need foundation help

Post by sallybee » Fri Jul 01, 2011 1:12 am

Hey everyone,

I'm pretty much here because everyday mineral has started using bad ingredients in their products. My perfect match at their site was buttery tan in intensive. It was my HG. I've recently ordered a sample and came up with this ratio that was pretty close 1:2:8, olive: buttery gold: ivory. I lost count a little bit. I bought the All Purpose Ivory.

It is really close to my skin color except that it's pink. How can I make it more yellow and less pink? It seems to make me look more bland and less bright. Also does anyone know which formula has the same or almost the same coverage as Everyday Minerals intensive? Thank you.

Sally

Have you tried our Yellow Booster? It is in the pull down menu on this page:

I would add at least two scoops of it to your recipe.

I can't do a good formula comparison for you. Hopefully, someone else can help with that. To brighten it, you could also add a few scoops of Glow Base for a few of the All Purpose in your recipe.
