Hello everybody,

I have already ordered samples of mineral makeup in the shades voilé 2CL and glissade 2 C. You can see pictures of that here: http://aromaleighaficionadas.i...62003936/m/963102034
Now I want to place a second order of samples because I am not totally happy with the first ones. Does any of you have any suggestions which shades I should sample?
I though I am a cold type (ash blonde hair, blue-grey-green eyes, can wear silver jewellery and white tops) but maybe anybody of you can tell by looking at the pictures in the other thread... An I have definitely red/pink undertones, due to the fact I have Neurodermatitis. For that I also have more dry skin. So I should stay with glissade (?).

I would be very happy to get help and suggestions for my new order!

THANK YOU LADIES!

Greetings from cold and rainy Finland.

Most people with dry skin do like Glissade -- try wearing both of your samples for a day or two and see if you notice a difference in the formula!

It's hard to tell color matches from pictures -- differences in lighting, cameras, computer monitors, etc. make it hard to capture those color nuances you see in real life!

Can you pinpoint what you don't like about these colors? Are they too dark, too light, too pink, too ashy, etc.?

Also, many people with pink/red "undertones" due to conditions like rosacea really don't have pink/red undertones. You may consider sampling Y and YL -- these are both surprisingly cool shades that match many skintones and can help cancel out any pink/red tones if you're trying to hide them.

Hi Green,

Like gg says, try some of the other colors. I used C's for a while, then CL's, then N's. Although all looked okay to most people, I wasn't satisfied. I didn't want to change my skin color, just match it! And make it look better. I have finally ended up with what I think is an unusual combination: 3N/2L. So you might even have to blend different levels to get it just where you want it. But it is worth it! I have been using AL for 4 years now, and can't imagine changing. No one else has anywhere near the colors or formulas, or has such great customer service.

Hope you find your match ... and have fun doing so.
