  • Showing some love to the light olive skin babes! We explored drugstore foundations (suggested on CZcams and Reddit) that might be olive skin friendly. I realize that this light side of the olive spectrum hasn’t been represented enough- We all know the struggle being green, so hopefully this video will save you time and money.
    Thank you to my wonderful friend Kaylah for helping me out with this video. Check her CZcams account out:

    Hey everyone! Just noticed from comments that most see kaylah as cool toned- I promise she isn’t since most make up is also too pink for herself. It’s also my fault for playing with the colours when I was editing my video, which probably is the reason why she looks pink but I guarantee you she is olive :) hope this helps!

    What’s so frustrating is the comments claiming she’s pink tones… this is the problem I have when I go into the makeup store. They want to give me Neutrals and Pinks based on the redness sitting on top of my skin. Then I go outside into my car, try it on and it is a completely different color (too dark, orange, pink, etc). Please understand that just because you see pink in her neck does not mean she’s a pink undertone. She can be a mix of multiple cool colors and be a cool olive. You are likely sending people home with the wrong foundation and wasting their time and money. My pet peeve is that I am being matched in a store with horrific lighting… when am I gonna be sitting in a store all day? That’s why now I test it in my car in the natural light of the day.

    I love this. I am extremely pale. I have always wondered why light shades (I am talking like kvd l41 light) were too pink/yellow even though the lightness of the shade was right. Being olive makes so much sense. The colors and tones that look good on me match it 100% over warm or cool. Now the struggle will be finding a foundation light enough or that mixes with a white foundation well lol.

    I don't know.. I feel like those foundations did not match her skin tone at all. It's supposed to match your neck, not that "maybe I'll try blending it in" - it should basically blend in by itself since it should look like your neck's skin color. She looks either cool or neutral toned maybe, not olive. You cannot see any green in her skin.

    Even though the lighting is less than ideal, I find this interesting. Thanks!
    I’ve long described myself as neutral, with the majority of warm and cool foundations looking off on me, so I’m looking around at the reviewed foundations that work on cool pale olives.
    When folks ask what I am, I say I’m two-toned, because I’ve got a fair amount of superficial redness, which looked great when I was young, but now add mild rosacea on top of that, as well as middle aged, sun-damaged, psoriatic skin - ugh. Would love to find something that my skin doesn’t react to (very, very dry, and highly sensitive.)
    Thanks again.

    I am confused. She looks cool and pink. Her neck area pink red. That Warm 2.5 is my exact shade. I am fair Olive when I don’t tan and when I tan I turn the darkest brown almost black looking. Of course I don’t do that anymore that’s so 1998 but still. Is she really Olive/yellow if that L’Oréal doesn’t suit her at all? I would say she is fair then.

But I found that when I mix it with any yellow foundation it turns grey even then. Same with 150 on its own if it's built up. I can just get away with it as a light layer it's too pale for me.

      @@mialia8120 well there are two, there's one for dry/normal skin and one for oily skin. When I was younger I used to use the one for oily skin in the summer and the one for dry skin in the winter! The oily one is VERY matte, and the dry one is not as matte but I wouldn't say it is dewy or anything of that matter. I tried them again within the last few years and I would never be able to use the oily one now as it's too matte and dry for my skin these days. Both are very long wearing, they were my go to for YEARS. Definitely worth trying for the price, and the shade is really hard to find in any other drugstore foundation because pale shades are usually either very pink or more yellow!

      That Buff color from Revlon used to work well for me until Revlon lightened it, making it too light for me. This 120 Buff color worked so well because it has pink undertones to combat the yellow-green undertones of pale olive skin. I switched to Revlon 220 Natural Beige which is a slightly darker but correct shade but lacks the pink undertones that 120 has. I look good in the mirror but sometimes in photos I look greenish, so I have taken to finishing with a light pink blush all over.

      @OliveEmbrace  Před rokem +1

      Hey! You make a totally valid point thank you :) there isn’t a set theory for olive tones. Growing up I thought I was yellow- because of my Asian background but no make up has ever worked with warm tones. Until a lady told me I had a green hue and when I started using olive shades for makeup, it worked perfectly. Also based on my experience and research, green is a mix of blue and yellow and blue is a cool colour and yellow is a warm colour. So according to how much blue or yellow, it determines how cool or warm the green is. There is cool green and warm green, just like different shades of green we see. but I love your point!
