help to convert original to medium formula

Post by Alohagirl » Sat Apr 25, 2009 9:18 pm

O.K., so I have decided I REALLY like this mineral foundation a lot so far. I am very happy, but the coverage is just quite not enough, so I ordered a sample of medium . So far the best mix for me ,in the original, is 1 scoop warm gold to 6 scoops ivory + 1/2 scoop ebony to 3 scoops ivory. Does that make sense? Anyways, what would the formula be when I get the medium ivory, since I know it takes less ivory in the medium.

P.S. Any suggestions for a nice blush for my skin tone?

Thanks and Aloha from Hawaii!!

You really should just have to omit a few of the Ivories. Start by omitting 3 in your overall formula and then add one if needed.

I recommend Satisfied blush.
