Can ya'll help me with my foundation selection? pics incl

Post by anabolina » Wed Sep 02, 2009 8:37 pm

I just heard about this brand over at makeupalley and want to give it a try. I usually use EDM Multi-tasking Cool, but since they got rid of the kits, I'm branching out to try some other brands. This one seems like a good one, but I'm needing some foundation color help. I've seen references to Ivory on the boards. has it been discontinued? I'm think Ebony would work, but I don't know... Thanks in advance :)

Do ya'll know how hard it is to find a natural light, no makeup picture? Can't be done, lol.

Completely makeup free, but inside.

Ivory comes in four finishes: Heavy Coverage, Medium Coverage, and Original (Light)Coverage. There is also a Glow Base that is somewhere between Original and Medium in coverage, but is more glowy like the foundations on the market that contain bismuth oxychloride like BE. Some of us just use a little of the Glow in our mixes.

Ebony will be your best bet for color base. I am guessing you will be about a one scoop Ebony to 8 of one of the Ivories.
