I use "light cool" mineral foundation from Sheer Miracle. It works well with my pale skin / rosey cheeks complextion.

I forgot to add that my friend with pretty dark skin (she's Haitian) uses the "Dark Warm" foundation from Sheer Miracle. She swears by it!

I didn't want to start a new thread but here goes.

I'm trying to find a MMU match and I know that it's forgiving but I've still not found THE one. I am very pale with slight yellow/warm undertones. I'll list what I have and why they aren't quite right (but some are close):

-Nature's Minerals Foundation in 01 - I really like the finish of this foundation but it's a bit too dark/orange. This is the only one I have a full size of.

-Bare Escentuals in Fair - Almost exactly the same colour as above and same problem.

-Everyday Minerals Original Glo in Golden Fair - Too yellow but I'd say it's probably light enough, but I'm not convinced that it doesn't darken throughout the day either.

-Earthen Glow Minerals in Callie - Darker than the EDM Golden Fair in the jar but they look identical on the skin. I haven't tried this one yet but I see it having the same problem.

Earthern Glow Minerals in Christeen - Too dark.

Lily Lolo in Porcelain - Looks darker than the EDM in the jar but goes on lighter. The best match so far but I'm worried it's slightly too pink for me. If I do a generous stripe of it next to a generous stripe of the EDM it will blend in well whereas the EDM will just look like a line of yellow no matter how much blending I do. Maybe that says more about the blendability of the foundation than anything else though. :/

I have however ordered some Aromaleigh samples since I remember Girly_Geek being able to get a match mixing Alabaster with another colour. Maybe I can lighten the EDM, NM or something. The LL Porcelain is the best match but I'd rather not have anything slightly cool-toned on myself. I will wear this though until I find the perfect one. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Edit: I forgot to add, ignore my avatar. I look really pink in it. o.0

Hi,

It sounds like I have a similar colouring to yours, probably slightly darker perhaps slightly more yellow but, I've had really great luck with Signature Minerals. I use foundation 4.0 so, 2.0 (or a blend might be your best match) and the angel wings veil (for some that can be a good match on its own too). They are very helpful with advice and the samples are free so, nothing lost by trying.

Mineral Foundation - Loose Mineral Foundation - Signature Minerals

Good luck with your search!

 

[GillT]

Thank you very much! I will try out Signature Minerals I think.

I did however use a mix of EG Callie and LL Porcelain today (not mixed together but the Callie all over and the Porcelain for more coverage in redder areas) and it's looking like a really good match. I think Callie on its own should be OK too. I did just put it on though so it may darken but I used a primer so that should help. I think I was maybe being too picky about the Porcelain being slightly cool-toned as it's a good match too. I'm lookng forward to seeing the Aromaleigh stuff I ordered and seeing how that matches. This sampling is lots of fun! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Edit: I have some Signature Minerals stuff in my shopping cart- should I go for it? It would be about £5.40 for the six samples. They are:

0 Porcelain Foundation

1.0 Ivory Foundation

Seashell - Matte Blush

Taupe - Matte Eye Color

Driftwood - Pearl Eye Color

Angel Wings Veil

I already have two other orders I recently placed that I'm waiting on (EDM and Aromaleigh). Maybe I should show some restraint since my income is so little. :blush:

I use J.Lynne foundation. I am a medium neutral in the winter. In the summer when I have more color, I use medium neutral mixed with tan warm. The warmth from the tan balances out my face perfectly.

I have a good match with BE in Golden Medium (summer), and Light (winter).

I would like to try Everyday Minerals foundation, can anyone suggest or know what color should I get.

Thanks!
