I think with your complexion and features, plus your flare for dramatic makeup, you could get away with practically anything

Aww!! Thanks Mandy!! I use to have it red for a long time but I got tired of it.

They keep matching me to dark orange colors that would make me look like an Oompa Loompa. Everything is always way too dark and orange.

This has happened to me also when I got matched. The MUA tried on a few shades and they were all wrong and he swore it was my exact match because the machine told him so

Sigh... I wish they would use their eyes and brains and not just let a machine think for them. The idea of it is great, but I honestly think they need to do away with it until they get it to work better. They matched me to a foundation that was not one shade darker, but probably 3 shades darker than I am, and the color was about as orange as I've ever seen in a foundation. I think I still have a sample of the foundations they insisted on from one of the times I went.

I might do something like this next:

This will look great on you! And you are so lucky to have a man who can do your hair wow!

So sorry to hear this Dolly! Will definitely keep your aunt and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

And sorry that I didn't post sooner! Just catching up on this thread.

It is ok love totally understand.
I am kind of running a bit on empty. Excited for my trip but at the end of it. I am going to my grandmothers/grandfathers grave.
My aunt is also buried there and I just have to face the facts ya know.
So I am a bit taken back and upset.
I have been to a funeral every single year of my life, sometimes two even three.

We are in a similar boat. Seems like we are always losing someone.

I can imagine that after everything that has happened in these past months, you must be physically and mentally exhausted! I hope that even though things are tough, you can relax a bit on your trip and that it will take your mind off of things ---for a little while at least. Hang in there my friend. I think of you often.

Yes I feel like they rely on it way too much! I'd rather someone physically help me spot out something that might work and then try swatches on my cheek
The guy was literally arguing with me that the foundation was a perfect match and it absolutely wasnt. It had to been like 2 shades darker

Yes we are! I've had friends who have never been to a funeral or have had anyone pass away.
I just wish my family had some luck instead of heartbreak.

These last few months have been the worse for me and mine.
I thank you for the kind words my friend.

I am sorry for your loss aswell.
I am doing my best.
This is why I hate saying anything because I become a downer.
On a plus side my grandma would have loved my new hair color lol

I can totally relate. When our son Liam died, I felt like no one could even begin to comprehend what I was feeling, and truly many of my friends couldn't. They had no idea what to say or how to respond. Until you lose someone so close to you, it is impossible to relate.

My husband and I joined a group for parents who had lost children, and it was the best thing we could have done. Just being able to talk with other people who could share our pain and what we were going through was very helpful in the grieving process.

I am glad you were able to get help for both you and your husband.
It is never easy. You are right no one understands till it happens to them.
