Brand new to SN, love it so far. Gonna toss my old chemical make ups and it will feel good!
I thought that I had a bit of an olive tint to my skin, but as it turns out, I was wrong. Currently I have 8 Wh:4 Ebony and 1 Olive. I just have a sampler kit so not much more white to experiment with. Can I fix it by adding more white and ebony, or do I need to start over completely?
Thank you!

Re: Foundation Recipes :-)
Olive is very pigmented. I do think you will need more white. I don't think you will need to add more Ebony unless you have a deeper skintone. For a medium skintone in Olive alone the ratio is about 1 scoop olive to 8-10 white.Caralee W wrote:Brand new to SN, love it so far. Gonna toss my old chemical make ups and it will feel good!

I think Warm Gold will be too yellow. I would try Olive. It will be around 1 scoop color to around 15-20 white. Or Ebony. 1:9ish.

Re: Foundation Recipes :-)
N30 in HD Cream Foundation is the perfect match for my skin. What mix would I use to get the same color in powder foundation?
Re: Foundation Recipes :-)
It is either going to be Olive or Ebony. It also depends on the white base you use.hannahsaccount wrote:N30 in HD Cream Foundation is the perfect match for my skin. What mix would I use to get the same color in powder foundation?
Typically, the heavier the white base, the more pigment you need. It will be in the range of 1:9 or 10 in Olive, and 1:5 or 6 in Ebony. The white number is going to be the bigger one in your case.
