Hope someone can help me here:

I've tried these mixes:

1 buttery, 1/2 warm, few grains olive (maybe about 1/10) and 7 white = a bit reddish??

1 warm, 4 ivory (white) and few grains of olive= looks nice! but I know it's not 100% match.maybe 90% match.

1 warm, 1/2 buttery, few grains olive, 7 white = not only pale but also don't match

1/2 warm, 1/2 buttery, few grains olive 1/6, 3 white = reddish??

1/2 olive, 1/2 warm, 4 white = match!

but, eyelid colour turns orangey??

(my eyelid tone is usually darker)

Since you have a match to your face, is there something else you could use on your eyes? If it is turning orangey, you need to lighten it, but I would suggest that lighter mix for your eyes only. I am guessing your eyelids are a little oilier than the skin on the rest of your face.
