I want to use SN for foundation too!

Post by mlle.gnome » Wed Sep 09, 2009 2:45 am

Hi!

My name is Christen and I love SN skincare. I also use SN eyeshadows (quartzite) and blush (stardust), and sometimes the Liberty glow, which is a perfect color for me :) I currently use EDM in a mix of Fawn and Golden Fair, with a tinch more Fawn. By itself its too dark/yellow, and the golden fair lightens it just right. I really want to try SN, it just seems better for the skin than EDM, and I'm quite happy with Karen's other products!

My skin runs yellow, and any of the pink in my face is due to exfoliating :/ My veins are green.

Here are some pics:

btw, besides foundation suggestions, any suggestions for eye concealer? specifically right in the inner corner by my nose? I get really green/grey as opposed to most peoples blue. I was using Abbott's Perk Me Up from EDM (an orangey color), but it keeps getting cakey and i have to reblend mid day, its gross! @_@

Thank you lovelies!

Hi,
I think you will be some blend of Buttery Gold, Yellow Color Booster and Ivory based upon the shades you mentioned. I think 1 BG:1YCB:about 16-20 Ivory. I really would try Buttery Gold 1:10-12 first, though, since you said Fawn is too yellow.

For concealer try Extra Light Peach.
