Dupe of EDM's old Pearl Beige

Post by KingTaco » Sat Nov 07, 2009 7:06 pm

I loved EDM's old Pearl Beige so much, I tossed out all my other makeup and swore my undying allegiance to Everyday Minerals. But...they changed the formula, without warning us. It wasn't just Pearl Beige though, ALL the pearl concealers/highlighters were changed without announcement.
:cry:
I would love if Silk Naturals has or could come up with something equivalent
Foundation mix: 8:1 Heavy:Buttery Gold
All purpose mix: 7:1.5 Ivory:Buttery Gold

Wow, KingTaco... I am shocked you would ask for such a thing! I didn't know you liked Pearl Beige? :o ;) :D :lol: :P
Haven't some girls sent pictures/samples of things to Karen that they wanted her to try to dupe?

:D I'm so predictable
I'd be totally willing to sacrifice a sampling of my original Pearl Beige in hopes of a dupe!

The lengths a woman will go to for her most favorite colors! I would love to see a dupe as well. I hear Karen is amazing at creating dupes of other colors. I really hope, mostly for King Taco's sake, that Karen can recreate Pearl Beige.

Welcome! I'm happy to give it a try...generally if a company reformulates they have a pretty good reason- like the pigment was discontinued or something like that.

I can't make any guarantees, but sure- if you could pop a sample in the mail I'll give it a whirl. I'd need about 1/16 of a teaspoon- more if you can spare it. Our address is:

THANK YOU!!! I will mail some out tomorrow!

We were told the formula was changed because a lot of customers didn't like the 'tin man' look from Pearl Beige, but that's what made it special.

I'm so excited!!
