I am glad you are close. I found it kind of fun to mix and tweak my own foundation. I don't think it is realistic that a cosmetic company can match everyone on their own with stock colors. Karen's packaging of the foundation is genious.

Ok, tried the medium and the heavy coverage:

Medium is 2:3 Buttery Gold:Ivory

Heavy is 1:1 Buttery Gold: Ivory

The heavier the coverage, i could see more pinkish from the foundation, hence I definitely need a dash of the green corrector!
As I just placed a recent order to get these samples, I don't want to spend $3 to buy a two $2 colour correctors (green AND yellow) that was just recently added to the website.

So I'll be setting aside these foundations until I have to make another SN order...not worth spending all that shipping on such a small cart!

Back to the drawing board....sampling other foundation lines....
