I've been trying to find an easily accessible color adjuster at the right price to help me change the color of my pink undertone liquid foundation to a more neutral shade (I can swing either a warm beige or neutral base foundation since I have light yellow undertones.) I was matched completely wrong at a Kiko Cosmetics store and ended up purchasing TWO foundations that in fact were PINK under tones just two shades apart (I thought a lighter shade was the smart choice but nope, I just ended up buying another pink undertone and not NEUTRAL or WARM BEIGE. :( I wasted so much money so now I am trying to salvage what I am left with... I'm going to try MakeUpForever Primer in the green tint (I'm hoping it has the same effect as the primer you pictured above) I don't think the US has that brand and it's nearly impossible to find a color corrector in store.

Kett doesn't make a green, but you can come up to the same result with purchasing a blue and yellow. The size is more reasonable 15ml, which is still plenty. They are both available on camera ready cosmetics. I ordered from them in the past and had a good service. http://camerareadycosmetics.com/products/temptu-pro-sb-adjusters-pre-order-item.htmlJudithhttp://lipstickintheattic.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908918720204607979.post-7236916857260472292014-06-06T13:20:40.215+02:002014-06-06T13:20:40.215+02:00You are a genius!
