What type of olive am I?

What type of olive am I?

Just woke up, just sunlight, no makeup.

I believe I’m olive just not sure what temperature. I have a nice tan right now, but in the winter I’m still brown but look like a vampire!

Am I olive?

First pic is color corrected nc50 + blush, 2nd is just blush

I also know the smashbox dark olive shade is my best match (especially with a tiny bit of blue color corrector) but yeah I really have no clue y'all 😭

Yellow/green foundation recommendations??

I am the most yellow/green person I know. I have never found a foundation or concealer that is yellow enough for my skin. Everything looks too pink, or peachy or orange on me. Even the foundations that are labeled olive is never green/yellow enough for me.
I am a light-medium olive.

My closest match is the Kosas foundation in 210, but it’s a bit too dark and neutral on me. Kosas 160’s depth matched me better, but the color was too pink on me.

Here is a list of all the foundations that I’ve tried and are still either too orange, peach, or pink on me:

Kosas foundation 210
Kosas foundation 160
Rare beauty concealer 230n
Fenty foundation 145
Patrick ta luminous foundation 9
Haus labs 190
Haus labs 260
Chanel bo33

These are a list of foundations that look even worse on me:

Exa “Hannah 490”
Any Armani foundation shade
Dior 2wo
About face L2o
About face Lm2o

If anyone has any recommendations plsss help a girl out 😭😭 I just want something anything to match me.

I’m also looking for a rlly green bronzer. So far I’ve tried Danessa Myricks contour light 1. But that was too orange on me, not green enough:(

This is by far the best guide on olive skin color theory I’ve ever seen!

Definitely worth a read if you’ve always struggled to understand what having olive skin actually means!

Body pigmentation marks — building a skincare brand, need your input 🙏

Hi everyone,

I’ve been struggling with pigmentation marks on my body for years (sometimes from acne, sometimes just natural irregularities) and I’ve never found a product that actually works.

I’m preparing the launch of a body care brand for melanin-rich skin, and before creating anything, I need to understand your real habits and expectations. An anonymous survey, 3 to 5 minutes.

Your answers can genuinely help shape my project. I’m counting on you. Thank you so much for your time 🙏
