I'm having some trouble mixing the just-right foundation color. I've tried ebony (too pink) and warm gold (a little too yellow). My skin is light (I used 9 parts ivory to 1 part warm gold). If I add more ivory to the warm gold, it's still a little too yellow, but with a whitish cast. I use Olive Fair in Everyday Minerals, which is still slightly off but better. Would you suggest starting with warm gold and adding a little ebony, or adding a little peach, or something else? Thanks.

I am guessing then, that you will need a little Ebony, and a little Warm Gold for your dark color. This is about where I fall, too, except that Olive Fair was too fair for me. I would try 1Ebony:1Warm Gold:to 14-16White. The Peach would add red, so I don't think that will help you. I am not sure how much White you have on hand, but you could premix the Ebony and Warm Gold together 1:1 and use one scoop of the E/WG mix to about 7 or 8 White.

Another option (and this is what I do) is to do a layer of an Ebony mix, and then a layer of a Warm Gold mix to liven it up. You may want to do the opposite, though. Do a layer of the Warm Gold mix and then a layer of the Ebony mix where you turn too yellow.

If neither of these options work, we may have to request an olive base!!!!

ooo neat idea Jen.. never thought of mixing my wg/ebony together... hmm.. tat would make for less counting! thanks!
