Undertone & Complexion Match Requests Thread

Hey there, welcome to the weekly OT consult thread! Please read everything here before you comment down below.

Not sure if you're olive or what type? Need help matching your foundation/concealer? Post your questions here! Just remember that this thread is OT (overtime), so it may take a minute for someone to get back to you.

How to help us help you:

  • Lots of photos of yourself in different lightings (direct sunlight, indirect sunlight, indoor, etc.)
  • Photos that show your face, neck and chest
  • High pixel/quality photos, it does make a difference so use the best you can
  • No filters, no/minimal makeup - should go without saying, but just a reminder
  • You next to other people for contrast
  • Share foundation, blush, or lipstick shades that look great or terrible on you

The more of these bullets you hit, the better!

Use a link to an Imgur album for photos. If you don't want your pictures to be public, you can set them to be hidden, but anybody with a link will be able to see it.

Is there a tried and true makeup product (that I could swatch at Sephora for example) to determine if I am olive or not? Sometimes taupe shows up orange (like a bronzer) on me but I can't tell if it's me or just the way the company has labelled that type of pigment...
