foundation help

Post by flutterbyshutter » Tue Sep 09, 2008 1:51 pm

Hi,

I received my first Silk Naturals order yesterday (YAYeeeee) but I need a little help with the foundation. I am fair skinned but with VERY pink/RED tones and i'm trying to mask the redness. I mixed 1 scoop ebony, and 1 scoop Warm Gold with 9 scoops of ivory and the color match is lovely, no lines on my jaw bone or anything, but I'm still VERY pink today (i even used the unblush). Can anyone suggest what else I should add to my foundation mix to reduce redness? Thank you! :D

Honestly, from your description, you might need more Ivory unless you are using the Heavy Coverage, and even then. The mix you have is closer to a medium level than a fair. It can seem too pink or any color really, if it is too dark. Also, if you want to mask the red/pink, you might consider not using any Ebony.
