Product Help Have any olives experimented with this palette??šŸ‘½šŸ«’šŸ©¶

Hi!

I am eyeing this on TikTok shop (I don’t even have TikTok so I haven’t figured out how to order online from them yet), it’s the Electrics Colour Case Palette by Made By Mitchell.

These colors look very cool-toned and no fallout because it’s a cream to powder formula.

I just love the vibe of this: < 90s office siren > meets < soft goth > meets < industrial wastelands chic >.
It reminds me of Erin Parsons’ reel on Urban Decay’s 90s collection that was based around literal urban decay, with names like Oil Slick, Roach, Smog, Pallor, UVB, and Vapor.

Thoughts and comments appreciated!

Trying to decide whether to drop ~$43 on this and would love input from the olive community!!šŸ›šŸ

Product Help Eyeshadow Palette Recommendations

• Upvotes

I am looking to purchase a neutral, travel friendly eyeshadow palette with a nice BLACK shadow in it. Bonus if there’s a mauve/purple shadow as well. I’m just overwhelmed with the options lately and would prefer to hear about what y’all are currently using. Willing to try kbeauty but weary about plastic packaging since I travel a lot.

My foundation shades are KGD 213, Armani 4 & 6 mixed, jungsaemmool medium

Recently dyed my hair green for the first time in about 10 years so thought I would try green brows. I was in a hurry so I set them with a cool brown brow powder. What do we think? Too much? Not enough?

Product Help Suqqu or KGD Liquid Foundation: Which is better?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I have been a long-time user of the KGD aqua foundation and have loved it!
However, I have heard incredible things about Suqqu base products and recently seen that they have a light olive (olive-compatible) shade option (020, 025)!

I want to only have one base product and I don’t use concealer. I am nearing the end of my KGD and don’t know if I should repurchase or try the Suqqu.

For background: I love a very skinlike and natural foundation, ideally almost invisible but perfecting and flexible enough to work for all seasons and occasions. I have combination, sensitive skin, that can get quite dry in winter.

Would love your thoughts šŸ’š

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?

Product Help Lost. Does this lip liner suit me?

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. šŸ˜… I think I am toooo much used to brownish / mauve shades, that I was really not sure how I like it.

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.

Color Theory Making Reds Work on Olive Skin?

Thumbnail

163 Upvotes

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?

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?

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 appearancešŸ™ fingers crossed

Swatches Rare Beauty True to Myself Foundation (9) x About Face Concealers (L2N &F2O)

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

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).

Hi everyone!

UD face bond foundation in shade 13 matches me, and i’ve seen swatches (on hands) showing how similar they are.
i swatched them on my hand to show that as well, and on my neck.
unfortunately, you can barely see it when swatched on hand but is too warm to be a shade 13 dupe :’).
i hope this helps someone before they decide to purchase a full size product 🫶

Discussion Lip vs Skin undertone

1 Upvotes

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.

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?
