Ok, I've found my perfect mix...REALLY, this time!

Post by hotmama » Mon Aug 25, 2008 10:47 am

So, It's been about 2 months since I've started perfecting my very own SN foundation mix. And boy, can I tell you I have come up with some concoctions that dont even resemble skin tones! After receiving a sample from another company, which the color was very close, it just needed a scoop of ivory from SN to be perfect, but I hated the feel of this blend, not smooth and silky like SN. I am so in love with Karens products...so I researched this line and found out this color blend was a "perfect blend of pink, peach, and gold"....taaaa-daaa!!! I have all of those base colors. So I placed a scoop of ebony, peach, and warm gold and got to mixing my ivory until it was perfect for me!!! Yayyyy!!! I can't even tell you how excited I am to have this come some close to perfect. And never would I have thought to mix those 3 base colors together. So today with my perfect foundation mix, my quartzite washed eyes and lined with sapphire, blushed with bronzed beauty and Infactuation lippie I am one HOTMAMA this Monday morning!!! Happy Monday ya'll!

That is so exciting!

Since I started mixing my foundation with silk powder instead of ivory base, and mixing it a little lighter, I've had a LOT of people think I'm too young to buy alcohol or that I'm just barely out of college... this is a little weird since I am WAY too old for that kind of confusion. Go SN!
