more color help needed

Post by pinkfox » Mon Jul 20, 2009 8:43 pm

Jen suggested I start with a 1Warm Gold/1 Ebony/15 Ivory or maybe Buttery Gold. Any ideas what to do now? The Ebony/Gold seems orange-ish, although 14 Ivory is good. I thought about adding more ebony but that doesn't sound right..... Thanks!

What about trying Ebony and Olive? You will need less Olive than the Warm Gold you tried previously. I know many of us that found Warm Gold too orange ended up loving Olive. I do think Olive on its own will not be quite pink enough for you.

Try 1Ebony:1Olive:around 18 Ivory.

Thanks Jen! It is the Ebony and Olive. Hopefully I'll get there soon... I never check outside when I first tried the golds and it's a very good thing I did! Just placed an order for more base because at 20 scoops of Ivory I still need a few more and was out. After all this hopefully I can wear it long term. I think it's Karen's skin care, since I've been using it I'm surprised to find my face more tolerant to some things.
