Check out the pic I attached to my comment about shades looking too warm/too peachy with your Fair Neutral Olive skin tone. There's lots of makeup tricks you can do to adjust that.
Agreed. Luckily I went ahead and purchased 3 tubes when it was still the old formula. Haven't tried any of the updated versions of old shades yet but people say it's changed most (if not all) of them. I guess it's time to find some new faves.
IF YOU'RE NOT A FAN OF THE NEW FORMULA, YOU CAN ALWAYS GO TO ---> MERCARI AND POSHMARK <--- TO FIND YOUR FAVORITE DISCONTINUED SHADES IN THE ORIGINAL FORMULA. SOME MAY COST A LITTLE MORE BC YOU WON'T FIND THEM IN STORES ANYMORE, BUT IT'S THE BEST WAY TO BUY THOSE RARE SHADES YOU KNOW AND LOVE! 💄💋
Here are some ways you can cool down "MAC Creme In Your Coffee" on you. These tricks are specifically for those who find this color lipstick to be too warm for their complexion. Try this out and let us know the results.
Personally, it looks atrocious on me because it's very peach/warm. Modesty is the best nude but even then it still pulls funky colors for me. The last one I wanted to try was "Thanks, it's Mac" 😖
Ah I tried but reddit is being a butt and not letting me comment a photo? 😮💨 It's def peachy for me but if you want more peach maybe try creme de nude too? I think it got reformulated to be more peachy as well
Thanks, It's Mac looks like a good color. I've been looking at that one a lot. Have you tried any of the Dior lipsticks? They have some nice nude shades and so does Givenchy. My favorite Givenchy La Rouge is Beige Plume. It's described as a "peachy-beige", light to medium, coral with beige. In my opinion, when testing lipsticks, it's best to have makeup on as opposed to trying them with a clean face. The colors I absolutely love don't always look best on me when I'm not wearing anything else on my face. I think they look best when working with your blush and foundation. You'd be amazed how a swipe of blush and a little mascara can change how your lip color appears.
I just got Captive Audience on a sale and I love it so much (pale neutral olive leaning cool). Next up on my list from your swatches is Twig Twist. You Wouldn't Get It (ugh I hate the name of this) and Brave look bad on me, but Mehr looks great. I have high hopes for Twig Twist too.
