EM foundation colour query

[kcrae]

I should be getting my samples soon. I am a studio fix C3 or C4 and was wondering if anyone has similiar coloring-- I got the medium beige summer, medium-tan beige and one other from the "warm foundations"

The photos looked like the warm foundations were a bit orange? For anyone who has tried them, do they just appear orange on the website?

I see Alima has a similar product but more color selection, I may give them a try should the EM colors not work out.

Im a NC 40 as well and when I received my trial kit I used an even mixture of medium beige and medium beige summer and it worked out great...hope that helps

i, too, am NW20 and i started out with Fairly Light, which was too light for me. i have been using "Light" for the past month now, occasionally mixed with Medium Beige to cover up. i also got their concealer, so usually i put a layer of that on the problem areas first and then go over it with Light all over.

seems like most people end up mixing two colors...if you're unsure, get the two you think will work best and get a sample of the third or fourth darker or lighter and see what works.

I used to wear Light in BE, and Light in EM seems like an even translation for me.

Just recieved some samples the other day. For the price, you do get a lot! They look so tiny in their little pots, but a little really REALLY goes a long way.
I got 3 foundations in Winged Butter warm, in matte, semi matte and original glo finishes. I also got Siesta blush and the Finishing Dust.
One things for sure, you can't beat the 'free' sample offer. My total was around 3.50 USD.

For some reason, though I only chose one color foundation in 3 finishes, they're slightly different in color. The Original Glo is the darkest, Matte is the medium of the three (and closest to my natural shade), and Semi Matte is the lightest. Light Winged Butter is very yellow, but made for lighter skintones with true yellow undertones. get my best match by mixing the lighter shade with the medium shade. My only concern is the shade consistency, as I have 3 of the same, yet they differ in color.

Siesta blush is pinker than in the website photo. It's a great blush! I love it. It has the perfect amount of shimmer and is super blendable.

I don't like the finishing dust. It feels very chalky, almost grainy. The texture feels different from the other products.

Overall, I liked them. The foundation lasted a little bit longer than my usual liquid and was great for my oily nose. The blush was awesome. Finishing dust wasn't my bag.

anyone thinking of trying EM definately should!
