Lipstick shades are always either too saturated, too dark, too cool, too warm ect. you know the drill. I stumbled upon Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Cappuccino Light on accident, but I absolutely love it. It gives warmth without being orange! The forumula is balmy and comfortable.

Also, I appear a touch more desaturated in the picture than IRL, so try the shade before you buy it!

Firstly, thank you all for your suggestions on my previous post! 🩷

So I made this post some time ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/OliveMUA/s/GDYZ99i3Ef

I was asking for a berry lipstick on medium olive skin. I bought Mac Rebel since it was the most upvoted suggestion on that post. I love this shade so so much. It's hard to find berry shades like these, especially for tan/medium skin tones.

What do you guys think? I think it's hard to tell from the pics, but the shade is darker than it looks on camera.

… is worth it. I rarely buy limited edition makeup right when it launches, but I couldn’t resist this color and I’m SO glad I bought it. It’s the most beautiful and natural light pink flush on a light olive skin tone. Chef’s kiss.

It’s out-of-stock at the moment, but do yourself a favor and add yourself to the waitlist.

I just wanted to share with the olive community how I found a perfect match at last.

I tried some powder foundations labeled "olive" from The All Natural Face, Just Pure Minerals, MAD Minerals, and Lucy Minerals. They all pulled orange on me.

Then, I learned on this video

that all foundations are mixed from just white, yellow, red, and black. The green in olive foundation comes from the yellow and black.

So, I added a TINY bit of some matte black eyeshadow to the orangey foundations and was able to make a perfect match! You could use gray if you're too fair to use black. You could also add yellow eyeshadow or correcting powder, but the foundations I got have enough yellow in them for my skin.

I mixed one color to match my face for concealing. I mixed a second color to match the rest of my body and tap it on with my large brush, so my face can match my body. It looks like nothing!

I hope this helps!

Hi everyone, since sharing Nars Vanuatu seemed to help some of you, today I'm sharing another one.

This is the Rodial skin tint in shade 03 St. Barths.

It feels a smidge light to me because the pigmentation around my mouth and forehead show through making it look a little grey in those areas. But peach colour correction underneath helps with that.

Also want to add that this tint tends to accentuate dry patches.

Forgive the crazy hair, I'm due for a haircut soon🙈

Products used:

Base: Rodial Skin Tint in shade 03 St. Barths

Colour correction for undereye: Nars Light Reflecting Eye Brightener in Magic Hour

sorry my neck is kinda dirty i biked to ulta and its HOT OUT lol.

i want to settle this, i THINK i am a cool olive. i dont think this turned too orangey on me, but i’m blind to myself lol. please share your opinions!

i took this pic out in the sun with zero filters etc, its as true to real life as i could get it.

hey guys, i wanna change my hair color, but i feel like not every color suit my olive skin tone. so what do you think i should go for: auburn, caramel, dark blonde, lighter brown… or smth else? (first pic is me (don’t mind my resting b*tch face), the others are inspo)
thanks guys

Photos are Wetleg and Pink Pantheress!! I’ve seen this hair tone a few times lately and I’m really inspired by it, but scared I’d look really bad :,)

I’m a cool muted olive with yellow overtone! Deep brown hair and a soft summer. Not super comfortably sharing pics online.

I’m open to suggestions for similar colours OR colours that carry a similar, nude pastel vibe!

Would anyone happen to know if these two shades are dupes in real life?

Edited for clarification: I have Revlon Rose Velvet, but I am looking for something similar in Guerlain Rouge G Collection. If anyone happens to have both shades to compare, please let me know.

I know that there was a discussion about NARS Hunger blush a while back. Here is how it looks on my light - light medium skin . I also have ABH bronzer on. No highlighter but my cheeks always look like I have it on due to my combo oily skin. Hope that this helps some people out .

I don’t know if I would fall under light or light medium, but these some swatches from my foundation stash. In order from wrist to elbow with the shade name first. Second photo is after a few minutes sitting.

Alexandria 650 - Juvias Place
5N - Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Finish
Sante Fe - NARS Natural Matte
2WO - Anastasia Impeccable
240W - Lancôme Teint Idol
13 - Urban Decay Face Bond
5.3 - Armani LS (new formula)
150 - REFY Skin Base

I used to avoid bronzers like the plague a few years ago but now I’ve become a bit of a connoisseur once I realized they don’t all have to be super orange. But note that I am more of a warm/neutral leaning olive so I am not a fan of bronzers that are too pinky either 🫒. For reference my best foundation match is Lisa eldridge seamless skin foundation in shade 2.5. First swatch pic is in direct sunlight, the second in indirect sunlight and then the last one is from a shadier part of my room.
