So if you can online order I know amazon has temptu blue color corrector. I use that and it blends very well into my shiseido, maybelline super stay, and milani conceal and perfect foundations.

I like cats too! Here is one!

I would recommend Urban Decay Naked Skin in 30CG, ABH Luminous in 120C and also check out the master list here which allows you to search around for shades and filter out undertone and depth :)

It’s this one, but I can’t find it on the NYX site so now I’m afraid it’s been discontinued ☹️

This is where I learned about it. I pretty much can follow any of her shade recommendations and it will be spot on.

It looks great! I love this blush. It’s the only powder blush I mess with anymore. But if you’re looking for a liquid with a similar vibe, try this:

I'm so fascinated by this!

My face already looks darker than my neck because of my redness. Does this method exacerbate that effect? In other words, am I going to need to self-tan my neck and décolleté to match?

Side note: The Naturena self-tanner (recommended last year by Taylor Wynn) is also very green.

The Naturena deep bronze was recommended to be by someone with the same fair-light golden olive skin as me saying she’s pretty much tried all self tanners and this one looks the most natural on almost all including our skintone. I personally haven’t tried it yet but I have it in my Amazon cart to purchase. There’s some image reviews on Amazon too.

Yeah.. I use these when I mix so I don’t have to do it all the time. 15 Pcs Clear Airless Lotion Pump Bottles Empty Cream Vacuum Bottles Cosmetic Containers Travel Press Pump Bottles For Foundations,serums,and more (5ml) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08P8GTGTG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_D006DC6CF8RSJ55AHASN?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 But I’ll see what I can come up with for you!

I used to use the Studio Gear Cosmetics brow definer in medium ash. My mom bought it for me as a teen and I remember being shocked at how well the color worked for me. They used to sell it at Ulta but last time I checked its available on Amazon for under $10. Studio Gear Cosmetics brow definer: medium ash

Yup, I do maybe a week or 2 at a time. You can buy little 10 or 15mL airless pump refillable dispensers on Amazon for a few bucks and throw them away if you need to.

I am paler than pale and I use Naturena tanning mouse!!! It’s good for a pale girl like me. Taylor Wynn has a video on it if you’d like to see the look as well :)

Oh seems like they got rid of this shade when they redid the Megalast line. Not sure where you are located, but I can still find it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.de/wild-Mega-Last-Color-Spiked/dp/B011LMYBJ6

Unfortunately, there aren't really a ton of brands that have a full range of olive undertones. Fenty and Rare Beauty are two with olives throughout the spectrum of shades. But most olive shades I've found are a random olive shade in a sea of cool and warm undertones. I would recommend checking out the master list here. It lists shades that have worked for other olives on the sub

L'Oreal C'est Magic Cc Cream, I thought I put it sorry, it doesn’t have a shade or not what I could find at least 😅 I bought it from amazon

Maybelline Smoking Red (795) looks a lot like this on me in the summer. With a tan I wear kosas 5.5 if that's helpful.

Dark autumns are typically muted and most of those colors look incredible on muted olives (with the exception of the occasional green being the wrong undertone and clashing with olive skin). As for foundations, I would recommend the Koh Gen Do Aqua in 231. That's the only one I know that might be the right depth as you're a bit deeper than me. But you can check out this master list another user posted here: https://airtable.com/shrWBpntS4MyrAOK0/tblUIQl4NjAn7NUiD

Thank you! Here’s an Amazon link to them

2nd this and also trying /r/AsianBeauty techniques. The hado labo lotion (https://www.amazon.com/Hadalabo-Skin-Institute-hyaluronic-solution/dp/B013HHJV0C/ref=pd_lpo_2?pd_rd_i=B013HHJV0C&th=1) before my moisturizer was the only thing that stops by skin from flaking and peeling off from tret. I did my tret, 2 layers of the hado labo and then my moisturizer before bed and my skin was glowing.

This eyebrow pencil by Etude House is the best one I’ve found. And it’s only like $7. I use #2 grey brown. But you could also look at #4 and #5.

I use Esteé Lauder Double Wear in the shade 1N0. The shade and neutral undertone are perfect, so I add green. The green mixer I use is Temptu Adjuster Drops in Green

The first thing I did was experiment with the ratio that worked best in natural light. That ended up being 25 pumps of double wear to 16 of the Temptu adjuster. I had to play around with this for a while, since the double wear changes color slightly when it dries down.

Once I found a ratio I liked, I purchased empty foundation bottles off of Amazon foundation bottles off Amazon.

The arm swatch looks a bit greener in the swatches than it actually is. I can post a photo of me wearing it if anyone is interested.

Anyway, I thought my method might be helpful to a variety of olives even though my shade is quite light. Let me know what y’all think.

I think you would look good in the second or last one. A balayage would suit you as well. I was thinking something like this would suit your face and skin color.

Like a tin? example

I’ve been struggling with pimple marks a lot these days because I broke out horribly this year from adult acne. I’ve been trying to come up with a routine that makes my skin look like skin but also covers up my pimple marks and I think I am on the right track with this one:

1. I prep my skin with the German Nivea Creme and let it sink in.

2. I use Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter in Shade 4 to get a glowy base.

3. I use the Estée Lauder Double Wear Concealer in Warm Light as an under-eye concealer and eyeshadow primer and to carve the brow.

4. I dab NARS Cafe Con Leche all over my pimple marks and use a microfibre sponge from Amazon to push it in. This sponge is key to my routine. I feel it really does a great job of blurring out the edges of the concealer without losing coverage. And the concealer itself blends into my skin so well. This shade is excellent for olive skin tone!

sponge

1. I set the face with the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Powder in shades 1&2 and use Bare Minerals Faux Tan as a bronzer and MAC Blushbaby as blush.

2. My highlighter usually varies, but I’m more into dewy ones these day’s like RMS Living Luminizer or Tom Ford’s Sculpt And Glow etc.

And that’s it!

L'Oreal Anti-Redness Primer

This is the only green primer I've found that is compatible with all of my foundation formulas and doesn't have TOO much green pigment so you have a little more leeway in terms of control. Looks like it's available in AU!

I'm extremely pale warm NC10 olive and I use Guerlain Terracotta bronzer in 01 clair brunettes. Bless Guerlain for coming out with six shades of bronzer based on warm/cool undertones and skin depth. I've never understood why so many brands treat bronzer like a one-shade-fits-all product.

You could also try some tan blushes like Burberry Earthy 07 or Nars Madly. Nars Multiple in South Beach is great too if you want a sunkissed look, rather than a contour.

Help.

That means 2 foundation cushions TOTAL and a compaxt right?

Or one foundation cushion TOTAL and a compact

I contacted them to clarify and they can't seem to give me a clear reply.

Every other site refers to all the cushions included as refills

Fave:

Maybelline Color Elixir in Intoxicating Spice and Almond Aura. Spice was on clearance at Ulta and I picked it up on a whim, as most of my mid-tone lipsticks have a matte finish, and I'd been looking for something a little more glossy in that depth (though I usually hate straight up gloss). I loved the formula so much that I went and bought Almond on Amazon almost immediately after trying Spice. They're glossy, but not in-your-face glossy, and the stick factor is minimal. Moreover, they're actively hydrating, and my lips feel smooth and soft when I take them off. The shine lasts about 2 and a half hours, the color for about 4. Spice is a nice "spicy" marsala color, and Almond is a very muted, warm browny rose that sort of resembles Milani's Spice lip liner (my absolute favorite lip liner, and possibly the most muted lip color I own). Overall really happy with these and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for more glossy fall options.

ETA: Almond was LE but is available on Amazon and eBay for cheap.
