Need help making my foundation color.

Post by readingyourlips » Sat Dec 12, 2015 1:40 am

I wear Alima Pure 3N right now and am wondering how to go about making the right color for me with the Silk Naturals foundation kit.I do have pink undertones, but I also have a lot of red from my sensitive skin. The neutral helps even my complexion out.

Thanks,
Steph

I would start with Ebony. Try it about 1 scoop color to about 6 white. If it seems too dark, add more white in. I don't have much experience with Alima colors, but I think the color will be right, you will just have to adjust the depth.

Hello, I currently live abroad, so am unable to try a sample kit first. Can you please make a recommendation for me? This picture was taken indoors, but is a good representation of my skin tone.

Many thanks in advance!

jthornton1983-

I am guessing our Warm Gold will be the best. 1 scoop color to about 6 or 7 white depending on the formula.
