Nars Gobi was okay depth wise (maybe just a hair dark), but pulled orange/golden on me. The cool yellow tone of Nars Siberia works quite well on me neutral-cool olive skin (and I feel the yellow brightens my face vs olive tones that dull it more), but it’s a shade light for me
I’m so confused by my skin tone. I believe I’m a cool-leaning muted olive, but some days I look in the mirror and my skin looks distinctly orange/golden and other days it looks distinctly grey/green (both without makeup). I feel like I look better on the days that my skin looks grey-green (more vibrant) and my skin looks unnatural the days it looks golden.
Cool-toned brown, light pink, and light purple eyeshadows look awful on me. And warm toned browns look orange and awful as well. I still believe I’m cool-toned despite cool eyeshadows looking awful and my skin looking golden sometimes because I believe silver is WAY more flattering on me than gold and my veins lean blue.
Currently experimenting with Lisa Eldridge 2.5 foundation with blue mixer and some days it looks grey-green like my neck, and some days I STILL look golden even with a full drop of blue in a half pump of foundation.
I was previously wearing Nars Siberia, which is a shade too light for me and not green (Nars Gobi is too orange). Now I’m wearing Lisa Eldridge foundation in 2.5 with a dot of blue mixer and moisturizer mixed in, which is pretty good but just slightly peachy-warm still and would rather find a foundation I don’t have to mix like that.
