Re: Milan foundation colors - preview

Hi Candace - Yes, I am wearing the same makeup (half-half Chrystal-Julisa) in BOTH pics. I posted two pics because i couldn't choose which was the better one. So Julisa is really on my face in both pics. I agree, it's more alive!

Regarding gaps in the foundation selections, just off the top of my head, I think maybe some shades that are more "light-medium", like in between the "Julisa/Chrystal/Lisette" range and the "Olivia/Cynthia/Kiana" range? I am thinking that in summer, if I want to go a bit darker than Julisa there's no equivalent... I don't know, just a thought...

Hoozey - Yep. I thought the same thing about Simone. It's definitely olivey beigey and different from the others in the same depth. And that's an interesting point about Chrystal having beige... I think Candace said the same thing ... now I am looking at it again much closer and gee, it's there, but it's SO SUBTLE!

I also tried arranging the colors according to families ...
I couldn't tell Chrystal and Leah apart and Candace said Chrystal is slightly darker than Leah, same undertones. I thought I was going blind. Maybe I am.

I think Kiana is darker than Raven. It's more golden-olive on my skin. Raven was a tad pale/beigey/pinky on me.

As for Caprice being the next one up from Julisa, ... it's significantly peachier than Julisa so i wonder if it's more like one up from Chrystal (which is peachier than Julisa)?

Anyway, it's all very interesting and I feel a little crazy too! prior to MMU I had no idea about undertones and overtones and all this sort of stuff. Now it's like discovering a new planet! To think that we are each and all so colored and complicated ...

And here is the completed chart!! - also posted on the Milan Minerals forum. (two missing colors will be added next week)
