Need Foundation Help!!!

Post by hgchild » Mon Aug 22, 2011 2:56 pm

Hello! I currently wear BE Fairly Light and it is an excellent match. I am looking into trying the intro. kit on the website and need help choosing a base. I think ebony or warm gold would match me best as I am on the fair to light side with beige undertones. I can also wear Alima Pure Beige 2, 3. Loreal Bare Naturale in Light Ivory also. Thank you in advance for all of your assistance. My picture posted a little darker online! :)

I really think you will need Olive in a 1Olive:12-14White ratio. Ebony might match you well in the Winter, and Warm Gold might match you well in the Summer, but chances are that Olive in slightly varying depths will match you year round.

Thank you so much. I never would have guessed olive as my base. I did use Olive for Alima Pure although their shade sample was a wee bit darker than I had anticipated. It matched my face and not my neck go figure!!! lol.....

Thanks again. I was thinking about purchasing a coordinating blush and lip color to go with my foundation, any other suggestions?

For starters, I thought about Satisfied blush and Breathless KS.
