Silk Naturals

Hi, I'm pretty sure I'm going to love the brand anyway, so I plan on getting a full size of the Buttery Gold, and perhaps some of the Warm Gold to mix together to get my shade, but I just wanted to make sure if that's what others thought. Also, I am also trying to push these cosmetics on my old college roommate (in the pic) because she has the harrrrrrrdest time ever finding any type of match with any company, so when I found you guys I figured this just might be her HG (she's African American and Chinese). What color do you think she should order? Deep Ebony or would Ebony be enough? Sorry that I have so many pictures, I just want to get a good assortment in different lighting settings and such and since I had a little makeup in some of them I thought maybe my neck would be a better indication of color. I don't have too much foundation on, just a little around my eyes and mouth. In mineral foundation, I usually use Buff in Sheer Cover (liquid in these pics though) which is close. Is the Original formula close to that texture and coverage, or should I get medium? I don't really have that much to cover up (since I usually spot use foundation), but I was just wondering. Also, for my roomie Angela, she has kind of acne scars and such on her cheeks that are darker than her skin and has a hard time covering them, what coverage should she try? I can I mix the medium and orginal formulas? Ignore the sweaty grossness, I was just trying to find a pic where you could kind of see my neck.

Also, I was wondering about the Climax blush. I was worried it might be too light? It sounded like the Satisfied was the same but had more pigment...does it also have a plummy tint? I use the Nars Orgasm and love it, but I guess it could be a little bit darker sometimes? I'm also going to get the Deep Throat dupe.

Hi and wlecome!

I agree that you will be in one of the Gold categories, but I am thinking Warm Gold will be best. Many of our Asian customers do some blend of either Buttery Gold and Ebony or Warm Gold and Ebony for their color base. I think your best match will be somewhere in those three color bases. I really do recommend trying the samples first. I would try Warm Gold and Buttery Gold on their own at about a 1scoop color:6-7 scoops Ivory ratio. The simplest formulas are usually the easiest. My best guess is 1Warm Gold:1Ebony:12 Ivory because I relly don't see much yellow in your skintone. If you need more yellow than that, Buttery Gold would replace the Warm.

I do see the challenge with your friend, though. My first choice will be Deep Ebony, but I do see some slight golden in there. She may need a little bit of Warm Gold along with the Deep Ebony, but not much. 1DeepEbony:1Warm Gold:1 or 2 Ivory (could be a few more Ivory). I could be way off on this one, too, but I really hope she can find a match.
