Re: Mineral Makeup and weddings

congratulations-your photos are lovely. September seemed ages ago when we got engaged at Christmas, but it's coming round at quite a rate now! And thanks for all the responses! My gut feeling is that as I'm pretty pale anyway, there's probably a limit as to how 'ghostly' I'll actually look! Plus, gi...

Re: Mineral Makeup and weddings

Thanks for all the replies guys. Guess it's just a question of playing around, getting my fiance to take photos with our digital camera as a worst case scenario and seeing what it looks like. We get a studio session with our photographer as well, so I'll wear SN for that and see how it comes out Liz

Re: Mineral Makeup and weddings

Wow-those pictures are gorgeous!! I'm getting married indoors, so fear that there will have to be flash photography. Ideally, group shots will be outside on the beach, but as I'm getting married in september in cornwall (sw england) there is a pretty good chance that it will rain! Are there any fini...

Mineral Makeup and weddings

Hi guys, I'm after a bit of advice I'm getting married in September, and am starting to think about makeup. I've used SN for about 6 months now, but have heard that mineral makeup isn't great for weddings as the minerals look really white or shiny in wedding photos. Is this true? Is there anything t...

Eyeshadows for swap-Ideally in the UK

I have aztec and terra which are lovely colours, but just too warm for me to wear. Since I'm in the UK, it doesn't seem worth returning them to Karen. I'm interested in brown sugar and tweed as I'm hoping that they'll look better on me. I'm in devon, uk, so would prefer UK swapees to make postage mo...

Need help with browns

I've always thought that i was fairly cool toned, I wear purples, pinks and blues in clothing, and purples, pinks and browns mainly as eyeshadows. Then I started using SN and came out as a (very pale) warm gold base, which threw me a bit! I've got Terra and Aztec, which people seem to be viewing as ...

Change of formula

I've got my foundation mix as 12 original white foundation to 1 WG. I've got a few spots (although less now that I use SN skincare) so have ordered some medium foundation so that I can make a slightly stronger mix up to act as a concealer, but presume that as the medium foundation is 'heavier' that ...

Re: Help with foundation please

Thanks guys-1 Warm Gold to 10 Ivory seems to be about perfect.

I'm so impressed with the stuff I ordered, I've already ordered some more. I can feel an addiction brewing :)

Re: Help with foundation please

Thanks Cupcake

Your suggestion is pretty much what I had thought, but it's nice to have some reassurance that I'm not a long way off the mark.

Help with foundation please

First of all-thanks in advance for any help. I've ordered my first set of cosmetics from SN, including a sample foundation kit, but would appriciate some help in getting a good starting point. In EDM, Beige Fairly Light is a pretty good match, although I'm not convinced by it's staying power. Not su...
