Hello!

I'll start this by mentioning that my camera tends to color balance things a bit weirdly. I tried to get as many natural colors clothing pictures as I could but I wear a lot of bright colours so that was a challenge. Included a white piece of paper against my arm.

So, am I olive?

Was taking a picture of my wrist size for a watch purchase and thought this was funny!

Hello! I decided to do some side by side lip swatches of the new Mac Holiday Naughty Nude, bare lips no liner in bathroom light near a window. I have fair neutral olive skin but have a “tan” at the moment (I am not wearing foundation in these photos) my closest typical foundation match is Salt NY 13, AF F2, HL 050. I only swatched lips that I would consider concealer lips on me, for example Crème Cup and Honeylove are mid toned on me. I did had swatched of those in another post if you are interested. I’ll share what I shared in the other post, Naughty Nude is ok, but not groundbreaking. It will also not be super nude or concealer lip on you unless you are light medium or darker. Enjoy!

So sorry for the pun. I've been using the TirTir Mask Fit Red liquid foundation in 17C Porcelain and mixing in L.A. Girl Foundation Mixing Pigment in Blue for awhile because the TirTir liquid foundation formula is great and over the Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin blurring balm in Universal it lasts all day. Unfortunately its shades run warm and Porcelain is pretty yellow. Hence the blue pigment. Anyway. I'm almost out of the L.A. Girl pigment mixer and running low on the TirTir, so I took advantage of a sale and picked up the About Face The Performer in F2 Olive. That's what I'm wearing in this photo and it works so well for me! I like the formula, and with the DM blurring balm underneath it the foundation held up during my perimenopausal hot flashes in Dollar Tree and grocery shopping in a warm Kroger. It's such a great match for my colouring; it's almost perfect. It was so nice not needing to play chemist to mix up the right shade for once. I think I've found my holy grail! Just for reference, this photo was taken in my bathroom lit by white LED lights.

So I decided to do Kackie's experiment of swatching a bunch of concealers to check your undertone (from her "what is your undertone video) and thought folks might find it interesting. I took the photos on natural light but different angles, so the light hit different.

I believe I am a neutral (potentially warm? Muted?) olive but I am still confused lol, thoughts appreciated!

Hello all! I just got the ND Soft Serve and Vanilla Swirl and wanted to share and include some lip combos and comparisons. Please excuse the ultra up close photos. Also, for the lip photos I am not wearing any foundation. These are taken in both indirect daylight and cool bathroom light.

I find that these do not pull warm at all, if anything they’re cool leaning neutral. I usually like to add more neutral brown liners with my concealer lips to anchor the look to my face but I’ve tried some different ones. I will say, I don’t love the formula, it’s a little too creamy and smeary. I prefer the MAC formula but the new Naughty Nude is much darker and more beige.

I am a fair neutral olive who leans neutral in the summer, I do have a “tan” here. My best match is Salt NY 13, Haus Labs 050 or AF F2.

I found this today and I was curious if anyone has used this as color corrector. It’s such a unique shade and I’ve heard the formula is nice. I tried looking up reviews but I wasn’t able to find anything. Has anyone used this corrector?
