I bought the Lisa Eldridge foundation in 2.5 I have pale yellow undertones and will the undertone is good, it's a touch too dark. Her skin tint in 1.5 matches me pretty well. I am curious how shades 1, 2, 3 compare alongside it. I have researched and see 1 looking very pale/white in some swatches but others 2, 3 look hella dark in comparison. Thank you!

Hey y’all, today I compared Judydoll Stay Shine Lipstick in 104 Calm Nude and 105 Confident Nude on my light medium warm skin tone.
3rd photo is the lip swatch: Calm Nude on my right (your left) and Confident Nude on my left (your right)
Hope it’s helpful for some of you in one way or another. 😉
Just splurged on some new blushes this month and thought I would share in case anyone with olives skin tone that is looking for a muted mauve that will not turn orange!
I am shade 23 in Kbeauty cushion and pic was taken indoor with neutral lighting.
On my hands and knees begging, ISO any pale purple frost lipstick and every photo of this in the tube looks so different…
On fair cool skin ideally please <33
🌹 It’s been a minute, but here is a lip combo I have been wearing with both affordable and premium products! This color scheme reminds me of KvD Beauty products such as “Sanctuary” and the cooler-toned batch of “Lolita” for the liquid matte lipsticks back in the 2010s. Hope this helps anybody who is looking for true rosewood lip colors or a glossy rosewood lip combo 🌹

Hello! I have VERY MUTED cool (maybe cool-neutral??) fair-light olive skin. Swatched some foundations, concealers & blushes, along with my own custom shade matches I mixed. Swatch list at the bottom.
Looking for shades recs that match my mixes :) so:
•a “neck match” concealer
•a “face match” foundation & concealer
•+ bonus points for blushes similar to my custom blush mixes!
I have to mix in so. much. color corrector (esp blue) to get a foundation/concealer match. Every shade in store I’ve tried is too saturated/orange/peachy/yellow. Workers mismatch me in-store with too-light shades bc I’m so muted I appear to be lighter than I am.
My neck is a shade or 2 lighter than my face/chest/most of my body, & translucent/gray/blue-green. I CANNOT match my foundation to my neck or I look undead. I only use a concealer that matches my neck to spot-conceal my neck on foundation-free days. For reference, my neck is deeper than Haus 030 & Chantilly, & the same depth as Hourglass Birch (all 3 are too yellow.)
For foundation, I mix a shade that matches my face/center of chest. My face is still muted, but it’s deeper and has a bit more warmth and pink to it. I just make sure to blend it down my neck, & then conceal as normal with a “face match” concealer of the same tone/depth. This way I don’t look undead. Haven’t found a good match for my face in stores either—for reference I’m same depth as NARS Vanilla & Luminous Silk 3.5 (both are too peachy/orange.)
Pics 1-4 (from top to bottom):
My “neck match” concealer I mixed
Kosas Revealer Concealer (0.5N)
Anastasia Magic Touch Concealer (2)
Anastasia Magic Touch Concealer (4)
Tower 28 Serum Concealer (BU)
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer (Light 2 Vanilla)
Haus Labs Triclone Foundation (030 Fair Cool)
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation (3.75)
The dots at the bottom are some “face match” foundations & concealers I mixed—except for the bottom right dot, which is my “neck match” concealer again.
Pics 5 & 6 (blushes)
•Top Left: Custom Mix 1–would love recs for blushes w/ a similar tone & depth (liquid, cream, or powder!)
•Bottom Left: Custom Mix 2–would love recs for preferably liquid or cream blushes (but powder works too) in a similar tone & depth. Blushes pull orange on me, so a more “balanced” peach would be best :)
•Top Right: L’Oreal True Match Blush (C3-4 Tender Rose)
•Bottom Right: Laura Mercier Blush Color Infusion Duo (Strawberry). New release—mixed both shades in duo together
Thank you SO much!!

excuse the messy application! I received them today and wanted to try them side by side
all pics were taken in front of the same window (indirect light tho)
(also both pair really good with lipglass air in shade aesthetic)

Here are some swatches of the new Mac blushes that I got, Velvet Teddy, Thanks it’s Mac and Honeylove. The formula is really soft and buttery and build easily. I’m 100% going back for some of the more cool tone shades as well! I think Thanks it’s Mac would be a great bronzer! I don’t have Honeylove but I might have to grab it if it’s like this blush!
For reference my best foundation matches are AF F2 and Salt NY 13. I do warm up in summer though and this arm is already warmer and about a shade darker than usual!
These highlighters were on sale, so 🤷♀️
Top to bottom on my arm/hand, left to right flatlay, 7 oclock around, in two indoor lighting temps and in morning sun:
Revolution Highlight Dare to Divulge
Revolution Highlight Set the Tone
Revolution Highlight Just My Type
Revolution Highlight Make an Impact
Dare to Divulge might be my jam, gonna use this week. I do not anticipate that it will replace my usual powder drugstore highlighter, Wet n Wild Blossom Glow, but it might be different enough to make use in rotation.
Set the Tone I'll keep to compare to my usual if not frequently used white, Ofra Glazed Donut, but I suspect this will loiter as too high contrast for daily use.
Just My Type goes straight into one sister destash pile as entirely too warm for me.
Make an Impact has confused my brain and needs to be studied further.
I'm neutral to cool. My best matches include Wet n Wild Peach Ivory; Estee Lauder Doublewear mix of 1C0 Shell and 1N1 Ivory Nude; Clinique Even Better mix of CN 0.75 Custard and CN 02 Breeze; It Cosmetics CC Nude Glow mix of Fair Porcelain and Fair Beige; Elf Glam Fair Neutral mixed with a pale lavender blush; Bare Minerals 01 Opal mixed with lavender cc.
Balm Pinstripe is very near to discontinued Nars Sin, unfortunately Nars Hunger is warmer.
(Pale skin cool olive leaning, most blushes turn muddy orange on me)
I’m looking for Olive 🫒 eyeliner swatches. 🤪 What’s your favorite?! 👀 I’m specifically hoping to see Sarah Creal’s “Jungle” pencil compared to Lisa Eldridge’s “Enigmatic Olive.” Extra points on a fair/light cool complexion, but any & all swatches appreciated! 🙏 Please feel free to throw in all your other Olive pencils too! 😜🫶
I'm fair and very cool toned. A lot of liners look very orange on me. All swatches are one or two swipes, photos taken in front of a window during the day.
The first two I was hoping would match my natural lip color.
Rhode Lift, really close to my natural lip color but slightly too warm for me
Lilybyred 06, also too warm and a little too dark
NYX lip lingerie in Up to No Good, swatch 1 is straight from the felt tip pen and the one below it is smudged, I really love this smudged out
MAYBELLINE Gone Greige, I really like this one and find it longer lasting than others, I wish it did not have glitter
Colourpop Ashton, too warm, disappointed since this was many peoples tried and true cool brown
Colourpop Beeper, also too warm for me, it looks warmer in person. Similar to gone greige but gone greige is the winner by far
Colourpop Good and Plenty, too warm for me
LA Colors dual liner in Cuteness, I like this pink color a lot, I don't like the brown but swatched to help someone else out who might be curious. A Dollar Tree win!
If anyone has a liner that matches well with their natural lips and they are fair and cool toned, I'm all ears!
Skin tone/Undertone: Fair-to-light, highly muted, cool olive.
Lighting: Indirect natural light
Application: Finger Swatches, not blended
Swatches (Top to Bottom):
My favorite is definitely the Phytosurgence Plume, really nice & unique formula and the color looks very natural of me. I might have went a little heavy with the Dust mixing on the last swatches, but can totally see it being beneficial for my current ones that are a little too bright.
Hey everyone!!
I’m on a quest to find a dupe (not necessarily cheaper, just not the YSL formula) for the YSL powder blush in 42 babydoll pink.
It is the most stunning shade, but I’d like to avoid the talc in it- so I’m looking for a replacement.
If any of you have the 42 blush and a similar blush to compare it to, please let me know. Even without comparison, any swatch is welcome!
These are the ones I’ve gathered and been told are similiar;
NARS thrill
Hourglass ethereal glow
Clinique Pansy Pop
Saie Bella
Dior Rosy Glow 063 Pink Lilac
These are my AB Highlighters: 2aN in YL01 lemongrass, 2aN in GN01 lime bomb, Canmake Munyutto Highlighter 01, 02, 04!
