Color Match?

Post by royalgoddessbeth » Sun Nov 23, 2008 9:46 pm

Blonde hair, green eyes, extremely fair complexion. I do have yellow in my skintone, plus I like a little yellow because it helps camouflage my rosacea. What base should I use? I also have to beware of things turning pink on me later.

I would try Buttery Gold and Warm Gold because neither will turn pink on you. If you are in the Fair range, you will need at least 8 scoops of Ivory for every scoop of color. I really think you will need more like 12 scoops.

The 'young man' in your photo is too cute!

That young man is my darling son Ethan. He's too cute for his own good, you mean!

Aren't most of them at around that age? My DS is 9, most likely a little older than yours, but it still applies!

Actually, Ethan was 8 when that picture was taken in February. He's 9 now. He's still a bit small for his age.

And the being a bit small only adds to the 'too cute for his own good'! Anyway, I hope you like the foundation!
