I have a documented mix but it still doesnt look right. It is for a nude cover base:
2 flawless
1 perfect pink
1 soft white
smidgeon of golden glass
smidgeon of terrocotta

i have tried to take the edge of of it and added a smidgeon of melting pot but it still looks too pinky yellow.

What colour do i add to make it more pink than yellow and not the flawless yukk colour it is at the moment. Would I add intense pink to cool it but keep the pink or a contrast smidgeon to balance it back out.
HELP!!!! Desperate here.

2 options:
1)drop the soft white. adding white will enhance any base colour and add to the cream effect.
2)replace the perfect pink with intense pink

HTH
 
if all else fails, you could add the tiniest amout of red colour powder - Spanish Tile i think it is. this will help bring out the pink a little
 
Got the mixing pots back out again for the third time tonight lol.
Will let you know how i get on

thanks
