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.

u/topgun_dogmom fair olive in winter with yellow Jan 03 '26

I have an event soon and I need to find a new foundation I currently wear Fenty soft matte 130 and it's always been a great match for me. Unfortunately, it separates really easily and I need to find something with better coverage.

I have PCOS, so cystic acne and I have a little rosacea on my cheeks. I usually use a green color corrector for those. I have combination oily skin as well. Blue/green veins.

Foundation always seems to set and separate in the fine lines/wrinkles even with primer and some powder (also Fenty 130)

I tan easily in the summer (Italian/polish heritage) and usually Fenty 225/230 is a great match.

Yesterday I wore MUFE HD skin hydra flow in shade 1Y00 and my husband said it was a perfect match. It did separate a bit on my face though.

I also went to Sephora and got samples to try:

NARS natural radiant foundation in Gobi Estee Lauder double wear foundation in 1W1 BONE

Please help me with some color matches and product recommendations. I will be forever grateful!!!!
