OK, formula wise it’s not really for me, but if you have oily skin you may love it! It honestly looks SO much better on camera than in person! Shade is pretty on point, I think!
Thoughts? 🫒
Thanks to Insta algorithm, I recently found myself down a "find-lipliners-besides-mauve" rabbit hole.
This is the Kiko Milano Creamy Colour Comfort Lip Liner in the shade 22 Red Amber.
Please be honest: Does is suit me? Does it look too orange? My feeling is, that it suits my skin tone, but not my eye colour?
Edit: Thank you for your feedback! I will keep the shade and will use it more often to get used to it. 😅 I think I am toooo much used to brownish / mauve shades, that I was really not sure how I like it.
My face gets pretty oily throughout the day so I wanna try the Milani Baked Blurring Finishing Powder but I’m not sure which shade to get. I’m light-medium/medium and I think I lean warm, golden olive. Kinda similar to her in the video. I can’t tell which shade she’s using though... Would you go for the same shade or something a little lighter?
im a light medium olive but when i tried swatching i need a nude, tan, and glam on my skin it disappeared like legit wasnt showing up. ethereal eyes (og) by mbm did actually show up surprsingly but the browns in that palette werent dark enough. i am not really confident in my blending either. i really dont know cuz i hear mixed opinions but like ND doesnt show up at alllllllllll. if theres another better alternative please lmk. didnt get the chance to swatch mbm's master mattes yet either. but id want one in the 60-100 CAD range :)
Was trying to do this Zendaya makeup look as a pre shower makeup experiment and I'm surprised at how green/ gray it made me look! I mean I shouldn't be surprised since I look absolutely terrible in reds but yeah this photo made the skin around my mouth look very green. Maybe it's because I had not color corrected that part and I'm not wearing any base makeup in it, just did the blush and lips to see how that placement will look on me. Used two shades as shown in the tutorial by the makeup artist but a bit muted versions of the colors.
How do y'all make reds work on olive and muted skin tones? Any tips to make this specific look work for me, any specific shades and techniques that I could try?
Can someone please ID this lipstick? I would really appreciate it!!! I feel like that would look good on any olive skin

I tried the new Morphe blush in breeze on its own and I love how glowy and natural it looks! Also found a successful shade match with the Missha BB cream. Shade 27 works really well for me (and 23 is just GRAY). Photos taken in natural morning light.
Lips are maybelline lifter liner in Big Lift with dabs of Mac in Mehr!
I'm also in doubt if I'm neutral or warm, or if I'm even olive but I believe I am.
A much less dramatic look than I would normally do.
- Foundation: Rimmel Lasting Finish in 103 True Ivory
- Eyeshadow: mainly from the Collection New York Skyline palette
- Lips: one of the Maybelline gloss sticks (lifter glaze?) in Espresso
Lip liner and other stuff are either a mix of things or stuff I've had so long the labels are worn off lol.
Foundation: Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint (mix of shade 7 and 9 since I have a slight tan currently)
Blush: Saie Liquid Cream blush in Lady
Under eye concealer: DRMTLGY Luminous Corrector in shade Medium
Brows: Anastasia Brow Wiz in dark brown
Eye Liner/Mascara: Ilia liner and mascara, both in black
because it's never too early for a burgundy lip! first Pic in warm bathroom lighting, second Pic indirect light by a window. also smudged because I accidentally touched my arm to my shirt.

The combo is Mac Powder Kiss in Be My Bridesmaid and Nyx lip liner in Espresso. I've been wearing it everyday for like two weeks. I was honestly surprised because Be My Bridesmaid is as light as (if not lighter than) my skintone, and looks awful on me on its own, but with Espresso it looks absolutely perfect and really natural.
I’m half Vietnamese, I go very tan in the summer and pale in winter. I’m olive and have olive undertones, I guess I’d say I’m a light warm ? I don’t know heaps about colour theory but I do modelling so I know warm colours work for me.
What is everyone’s opinion on blue black hair? I love dark hair but I’ve dyed mine regular black too many times, it has that red undertone. I just don’t know if Blue black will wash me out? In the last photo I have black hair dye in my hair. My hair is naturally dark dark brown.
I’ve seen posts about darker hair needing more contrast and I THINK I am lower contrast since I have green eyes.
Anyway what does everyone think!?
Hi! So it seems mixing a corrector into this skin tint makes a really good olive shade for summer. The problem is that on the skin, the skin tint is so sheer the corrector is giving more coverage than the actual tint and it’s looking obviously minty green/ashy. Any sheer green correctors that would still be effective? Should I maybe use a green primer instead? Also if you would match the corrected shade above, what do you use?
Hi, there. How would you change my makeup? Any ideas about brows and hair?
I've been struggling so much to find my perfect nude lipliner, and I am losing this battle it seems.
I always knew that my lips were a different tone to my skin, but the difference is staggering. Maybelline's gone greige looks actual grey on my lips, if i just draw a line on my face, it is brown.
And i don't know how to find my shade and I don't have the money to just continue blind buying liners until i find one! Does anyone have advice on how to match my lipstick and lipliners so they work both on my lips as well as with my skin?
To give you an idea of my skin: I'm a very pale, warm leaning olive-the only shade match i've ever found was the nyx vanilla nude skin tint, so i just don't use foundation.
And i can give up foundation, but i neeed a good lipliner. My lips are so thin as is, makeup looks unbalanced otherwise. I am also located in Europe, so if you do recommend things, please only brands available here.
Thanks to everyone who left comments under my previous post. Although the post wasn't really about hair cut, at some point the hair color does affect the overall look.
Pic 1 is current me.
Pic 2-3:
I got my bob haircut back in 2022. I think short hair make me look even older.
Pic 4 is my natural hair color.
Pic 6 is this summer.
The last pic is Feb 2026.
I would really appreciate if you tell me which haircut or hair color or makeup suits me best because I'm not able to tell. and I would really really really be happy if you tell what would you change in my current makeup or appearance🙏 fingers crossed
For reference, Laura Mercier Chai reads warm/orangey on me — I pair it with a bronzer when I wanna look sunkissed!
But my goal is to achieve a toasty, rose-gold look that isn’t orange, if that makes sense?
I bought the Rare Beauty True to Myself Foundation in shade 9 (light neutral - neutral peach). The swatch looked good in the store, but looking at it now, it looks too peachy. Shade 10 (light warm - warm olive) was SO yellow. Shade 6 (fair neutral - neutral olive) was very peachy and too light. Sorry I didn’t take a pic of the store swatches.
About Face Concealer in F2 Olive is my perfect winter color when I look like a corpse, but I’m trying to move away from it because it gives me fungal acne/makes my sebderm flare up. I was shade matched as L2 neutral in the store, but that didn’t look right, even in the winter.
Posting these for a small swatch comparison but also open to suggestions for products/shades to try (especially fungal acne friendly).
