Re: Foundation Recipes :-)
The precious little star of the show is Miss Texie Kay, whom I'd just met that day ~ she's a dear friend's furbaby.

Re: Foundation Recipes :-)
Other matches I have are: Blusche Butterscotch Toffee, Pure Anada Ivory Chinook, MMBB Olive Beige and Lumiere Light Neutral in Luminesse.
I mixed my Silk Naturals foundation with 12 scoops of Ivory and 1 scoop of Warm Gold. I added also 1 scoop of Unblush, and it seems to melt onto my light olive skin even better, while toning down the redness on my cheeks.

Re: Foundation Recipes :-)
My best mix seems to be 1-ebony, 1buttery gold, 3-base(white). it melds perfectly into my skin and probably won't need much adjusting for summer as I do avoid sun exposure without sunscreen. I can't believe how easy it was to get the perfect color! I normally wear fyrinnae-sunstone, or be medium mixed with a touch of light, pure luxe warm cream is my best match up until I mixed my SN!
Re: Foundation Recipes :-)
Just got my sample foundation kit, and I'll be mixing tomorrow, but I'm not sure... Hopefully you can see my complexion on my profile pic: I'm kinda pinkish and fair. However, I do seem to have some slight yellowish undertones, aside from the pink ones, and when I do tan (I wish), it seems to be olive-like. Should I try mixing ebony and warm, maybe a bit more of the ebony? I only used BE before, and I'm Fairly Light. Thanks!
Re: Foundation Recipes :-)
I would be a Fairly Light myself. I can usually pull off the Ebony when fair and the Warm Gold when tanned. I do at times like to do a mix of the two, but for ease of mixing, I keep both foundation tones on hand premixed. It is easy to dust on a little WGMix to warm up my skintone. For Ebony (it does run a little lighter than WG), I use a 1Ebony:8 White. You may end up needing to add more white. For Warm Gold a 1WG:10-11 White. Again, this is a good starting point. I do use less white once summer rolls around at Ebony 1:6 and WG 1:8.
Have fun testing!

Re: Foundation Recipes :-)
Hi girls,
I am quite new to mixing minerals. I am currently testing my colors in Everyday Minerals and wanted to try out Silk Naturals. I am finding Everday Mineral's Olive Fair as my perfect shade. Anyone here who can help me how to achieve the Olive Fair color for SN?
Thanks in advance
