Ivory foundation bases (medium or heavy)

Post by sampey99 » Mon Aug 25, 2008 9:45 am

Hi,

For all of you who have tried the medium and heavy foundation bases or one or the other, can you tell me which one you prefer and why? I am needing to order some ivory base and can't decide if I should get the medium or heavy. I do have some hyperpigmentation to cover on one side of my face, so am thinking heavy; however, it seems I read somewhere that the heavy is very heavy and should be used mostly for concealer. What do all you Silk Natural expert ladies think?

TIA, Cindy

I use the heavy only as a concealer. I find the medium has good coverage and can be layered.

Why not order the medium & get a sample of the heavy? The sample will allow you to mix a concealer to taste.

I tend to mix-n-match. Needed to mix a batch yesterday & realized I only had a bit left of the medium...so I combined the original with the heavy & that was fine!

Thanks I think I will do the same and use the heavy as a concealer. Thanks again for responding.

Thanks Mikie, I will order the medium and get a sample of the heavy as you suggested. That way, I can have both just to see.
