#makeup #makeuptutorial #fairolive - Jak na to + styl
Finally someone talking about olive skin! Love that you are not just talking about foundation color but an overall makeup look as well!
Glad you liked this video! I may expand on it down the road ❤️
I laughed out loud when you said the thing about looking ill. When I was in the office and didn’t want to work I’d show up without makeup. Everyone would ask, Are you sick? You don’t look well. And I’d be like, you know, I don’t feel all that great, I think ill go home 😅
That shade is your perfect match! I stopped buying foundation bc I couldn’t find a spot on match. Neutrals are too pink or grey and warms are too yellow.
Omg that is too funny! I gotta use that one sometimes 😂
Oh same for me with the foundation.
Totally! I perform art classes for children, once I appeared without any makeup and they asked me if I am sick 😄 I have pale neutral beige skin tone. Light olive in general.
Watching Alexandra Anele’s foundation swatch video was what made me realize I had an olive undertone. Some of the foundations she pointed out as good matches are ones I had found worked the best for me (Revlon Buff and Tarte Amazonian Tinted Moisturizer in Ivory). The issue is they are too dark for me, so I can only use them lightly and blended out well. I have used the Tarte tinted moisturizer for years because I have had so many problems finding a foundation match. They are often too orange, pink, or yellow, and generally just overly saturated in color. I used to think I was cool-toned because of the redness in my face and some of the colors I tend to prefer (berries, mauves, taupes, and more green-leaning golds), but cool-toned foundations always look grey on me, so I have usually opted for yellow-leaning shades.
For concealer, the Nars Soft Matte Concealer in Chantilly is a very close match, just a smidge darker, but I really only like it for spot concealing because of the consistency. Recently, I tried Natasha Denona Hy-Glam Concealer in Y1 since I had seen a few videos where Hannah Louise Poston mixed that and RN1, and Y1 is miraculously an exact match to my neck. I have since started using it by itself instead of foundation or mixed with the Tarte tinted moisturizer, and it works so well. The only issue is that I have a lot of redness in my face, which can show up a little shadowy, so I want to try a green color corrector. I have the 24 hour Prime Lab one by L’Oreal, but I find it too drying.
I have always had issues with what people called “neutrals” because they often look too orange on me. Pinks also generally don’t look great. I have found that purple-toned colors tend to read more neutral on me than a lot of traditional “neutrals”. Even mauves can have a tendency to look orange, especially in lip liners or eyeshadows. My lips are actually a grey-leaning purple, and I have had a hard time finding a MLBB color. One of my favorites was Nars lipstick in Damage, but it was discontinued. I find that purple-toned lipsticks tend to be very saturated, dark, or both, which ends up being more of a statement because I’m so pale. I don’t mind that, but it can be frustrating when I just want something closer to my actual lip color. I also can’t do anything with a white base because it makes me look dead. I’ve been eyeing some Asian beauty brands for lip colors because I’ve noticed they often have those muted purple and mauve colors.
I really enjoy your videos, and love the “Bye, witches~” sign off! The color season series, makeup like an old painting, and this video have been recent favorites. Thank you!
Ah sounds like you’ve struggled a lot being so fair and olive! I think Asian beauty could be a good route too because my experience with Asian beauty brands is the pigments tend to be less saturated and soft. Thanks for watching my vids! Glad you’re liking them and thank you for the support 💓
fair/light olives unite!
i’m so happy i found this video. i too am light neutral olive and finding foundation or concealer is hell, everything is orange or straight up pink. i have never found somebody who would have same under eye bags and redness on face. i feel so validated and happy to have you as my inspiration and guidance for makeup 🫶🏻😌
Yay, glad you found me! Once I started to notice the mismatch between my complexion products and my actual skin, it really started to bother me but getting the perfect foundation match was game changer
Even when you were holding up the olive bottle against your chest, I was like yes!! That one!
It’s a game changer finding a neck match!!
You are stunning! I can’t stop staring at your beautiful hair and complexion. 🌺
Awww thank you!!! 🥹💕
29:10 yes! i'm a pale cool-leaning olive and i love a vibrant plum cheek with a browny plum lip.
It’s such a nice combo! I can see it look extra good on a cool tone olive 💓
I've never felt so seen in my complexion preferences! I will definitely be picking up some of these products, and wait listing for others. Thank you for the fair/pale olive representation!
Glad this video was helpful!! 💕💕
All the olive love💚 you look stunning
Thank you! 😊 🫒❤️
You’re describing my exact journey, literally trying my Lisa Eldridge sample today!
Oooh I hope it’s the right match for you!
I'm a fair neutral olive 🫒 🧜🏼♀️🫒
What are your favourite tones to wear?!
I'm kinda a minimalist so I only have one or a few items in each category.
Revlon 150 buff mixed with a drop of white pigment from LA colors
Maybelline instant age rewind concealer in 160 pink
Nyx sweetcheeks blush in bombshell
Elf powder foundation in 205 n on a real techniques brush 202? Basically a powder skin tint
Mac chili lipstick
Nyx ever lipliner
Elf lip oil rose envy
Loreal lipliner au naturale
Milani lipliner in cinnamon statement
Ooh those all sound great! I have NYX ever as well and it’s my most used liner 😂
I am watching this a little bit late but perhaps you and other pale olives could enjoy the Espoir Neutral Green concealer. It is my first time ever finding a perfect match! Not 100% sure it'd work for you though, as I find Mont Blanc and Chantilly very pink leaning on me.
Wow that concealer looks so intriguing!!
I agree with everything you're saying 100%!!! Also I'm a neutral shade in Estee Lauder too. Even though I have a lot of yellow in my skin, I can't wear their warm foundations. But I do wear warm concealers in Kosas, because those are the right shade of "golden".
It’s interesting how different brands have different versions of what warm, neutral, and cool are! I’ve been meaning to try the Kosas concealer so maybe I will opt for a warm shade!
I love that rare beauty bronzer shade too! Such a great olive buy😍
It’s such a great shade!
Aaahhh thank you for this video and welcome to the fair olive club 💚💚💚
I'm fair neutral leaning slightly cool so not that far from you. The olivemua and fairolives reddits have been pretty eye-opening and great help. From my understanding, the
ratio between the blue and yellow in your particular green will skew your undertone either on the cool or warm side. If your veins tend to be more sage green= slightly cool. Olive= slightly warm. It's a brain twister but once you're on the right track, things finally click into place. As for colors, for me it's dustymauves and lavenders. Dark berries. Dark sage greens. Golden olives (old and burnished, not brass). Dark charcoals. Neutral/pale golds. That icy true winter look would be what I'd wear and my favorite on you 👍🏻. For palettes, surprisingly : Retro Glam. I hate the way the color story looks but those greenish/greyish browns are my perfect neutrals, they just melt into my skin 😳. Lisa Eldridge's Vega. Viseart Petit Four Peridot.
Have fun experimenting !
Oooh love all those colours! I’m going to try that vein test today. I have Retro glam but barely use it. I’m definitely going to delve into again soon
I love the vibe you give off
Thank you❤️❤️
That was a beautifully put together video. I have a small channel dedicated to fair neutral olive tone skin and I really loved what you had to share in this video. I want the black honey lip now! 😂
Thank you! I definitely will check out your channel!
This was SO helpful to me, as these are things i've always struggled with! I've always found that shades look completely different on me in practice, so I need to do some more investigating to see if I have an olive undertone. Thank you for making this video.
Olive undertones are elusive!
This is a great experiment! Superstition is definitely in the same color corner as KVD's Queen of Poisons (formerly Lolita), but I couldn't say that it's a match, but yoiu may want to check it out. Lately colors like that, for my cheeks, along with muted deep plums, are what I've been craving and they look good on me with any haircolor. All the brands are coming out with them now, too, which I appreciate. I'm going to look into the LE skin tint.
Just looked it up and it’s definitely a very similar colour! So here for all the plummy shades!
The timing of this video is crazy I also just recently realized I'm fair olive because of that Hannah Louise poston video you mentioned! I have always felt like I can't go in public without makeup unless I want people to think I have some contagious illness and green skin plus my dark undereyes does explain that lol. I have been on the search for a rusty lip color since then so recommendations are always appreciated! The shade power hour in the tower 28 blushes has been a great find for me, sort of a brownish mauve. Also funny that I've been dying my hair copper for years and knowing thats a color suited to me without actually knowing why.
Omg power hour looks so pretty! Glad you’ve made it to a similar point in your undertone journey. It feels good to finally figure it out 🫒
I relate to this so much because I've also only recently learned that I have light olive skin and everything you said makes so much sense! It was actually my hairdresser who mentioned it, I was talking to him about the shade of blonde I wanted and he casually mentioned "yes this will go best with your olive skin" and my brain exploded. I've wasted so much money on the wrong shades of foundation (even with assistance at stores) and never feeling like it was a good match. Lisa's foundation is my closest match, but she does have new olive shades I'm excited to try for an even more perfect match! I'm watching this video and just nodding yes! to everything you say!
It’s a game changer isn’t it?! I only recently learned about being fair olive myself. Also didn’t know about the new Lisa shades 👀
I can wholeheartedly recommend the Maryjane Palette from melt. The mattes and their undertones are just fantastic for olive skins!!
Omg I loveeee that one! There was something about the tones. I’ve borrowed it from my mom but been on the fence about buying it myself for awhile
I seem to have even lighter skin than you, as the 2.5 fron lisa eldridge is far too dark for me :(
For even lighter olive skin I can recommend the Revolve foundation from rms in 000, ans also the concealer by rose inc in lx010!
Wow, must be tough for you to find shades!
Yes to everything you said in this! Things will pull pink or peach so easily on me so I try to look for neutrals that i can cut with green color corrector to match me. I’m fair but because of my undertone my skin gets about three shades deeper in the summer so I always have to mix things together to get my correct match haha. Also I’m always asked if Im sick when i don’t wear makeup 😂
Glad this video was helpful! It’s so weird how things pull more pink and peach but I’ve always noticed that
I’m def olive warm. I look jaundice when I’m sick, I pull more yellow/brown under my eyes when I’m super tired too. My skin looks very sallow when I’m unwell. But when I’m healthy and hydrated my skin looks brighter and has a tiny bit of pink to my cheeks. It’s painfully obvious when I’m not well😂 adding warmth to my cheeks either by bronzer or blusher just really brightens up my complexion. I def look my best when I’m tan in summer! I am Mexican so I get nice and golden brown in the sun, I just wish it would last year round! ☀️ 😅
Sounds like text book olive! Isn’t it wild how much brush and bronzer lifts our complexions so much?! I can’t go a day without blush!
You should try the Lime Crime Venus XL 2, the one with green, and mauve shades (look at the swatches instead of the packaging, their website describes them as neutral earth tones as well). I dunno if I have a fair olive undertone, lately I just go for neutral foundations because I feel like neither cool nor warm tones totally fit me, but that eyeshadow palette was super flattering on me which I did not expect. I got the palette on sale, and took a chance on it just because I thought the color story was so pretty. It's on sale right now, too, for anyone interested, it's a super underrated palette imo, I find it to be a very user friendly way to wear green eyeshadow.
I just looked it up and it honestly looks perfect! I have some kind of Lime Crime Venus mini with just pinks and always liked that too
after learning I was fair olive it opened my eyes to so many things! Since it's hard to find colourmatch, I have blue pigment from LA girls cosmetics and mix it with warm foundation. Or green pigment too. Mehron has fair olive foundation but it was bit too green for me haha. I haven't tried Lisas makeup yet so I can't compare
Also, I love pinks and reds. I can' t use corals for some reason but I can use cooler and warmer reds. But because I'm very fair and muted I find too saturated pinks to be overpowering on me. So dusty pink it is! Surprisingly, it's not that easy to find
I need to get some mixing pigments! It’s so interesting how nuanced colour can be
I haven't tried any coverage products that are advertised as olive, but I watch a couple of creators that have the same shade match I use (NYX Light) and either describe themselves as olive or at least suspect that they could be olive. That shade in particular is less saturated than the other light shades in NYX's (or other brands') line. I can get away with something more saturated peachy/orange but the level of desaturation makes it a perfect match.
That being said, lip and cheek shades translate completely differently on me compared to the creators that use the same concealer/foundation shade. I think my hair color might be the reason why, I have charcoal brown hair and eyes, while my "skin twins" have rusty red and strawberry blonde hair. I need a lot of blue in my lip & cheek shades. The only warm-toned blush I wear is a white-based coral (leaning on the pink side of coral). A lot of current lip and cheek shade ranges lean too rusty/terracotta for me. Even the berry Rituelle de Fille lipstick you demoed would probably look like a deep rust on me.
Isn’t it so strange how colours can do that?!
What hair color brand and shade do u use?
I use Jamila henna! I’ve posted a tutorial on it if you’re interested!
I think Dana Scully wore Marrakesh on x files.
MAC shades were so prevalent back then so that makes total sense!
I finally got my skin match with Lisa Eldridge 2.5 mixed 2:1 with her shade 1 this past Winter. Kind of desaturated pale olive. I might be able to go without mixing in shade 1 on the summer time. Figuring out my undertone was a long, arduous road . Have you tried her new skin tint?
Oooh sounds like you may be able to wear this shade in the summer! Haven’t tried the skin tint yet. I’m a bit skeptical since I’m more of a medium/full coverage gal. Have you tried it?
@@evangelinemolly I have. I reached out to her team on Instagram to ask for shade advise and they kindly mailed me two samples. T1 was too pink, and shade T2, to me, looks too golden...but a few friends say it looks good. The formula is great and feels comfortable on the skin, doesn't misbehave in any way. They do have an olive shade, but sadly I think it would be too dark. I'm on the fence about buying a full bottle or just trying to sheer out the foundation with something.
@@evangelinemolly coverage was surprisingly good though. Great skin like texture. Lasts a long time too ! I have combination skin, mature at 52, and it got just a little glow going at 12 hours in the T zone.
Hey! I am a bit confused since I see your blushes are really cool toned aren't they? I thought Plum and marve are cool toned? And for olive leaning warm wouldnt warm tones look better? I think I am olive but I dont know if leaning warm or cool, i think warm, and I think peach and coral looks good as blush, what do you think? Also, what other shades for blush would suit rather than marve or plum? I personally find these shades very sophisticated and I would prefer something more youthful:) e.g. Milani Luminouso is very peachy and it looks great on me and I cannot imagine myself in Plum since it is so cool and olive is not cool, so am I not olive? so confused:))
Hi! I love this question! First off, I want to start by saying take my reply with a grain of salt, as with most stuff on the internet. There's so much info out there, so many contradicting rules, and it can be overwhelming! I'm going to speak from my experience, and things I've learned that helped me :) First off, like any colour, plums and mauves can be warm, cool, or neutral! The ones I used and mentioned in this video are kinda all over the map with being warm to cool. From what I've learned, these shades are just generally complimentary to olive because they are bit more muted and earthy, which works nicely with olive undertones. In my experience, I find I can play with both warm and cool depending on what effect I want to create. For example, if I want a plum blush to really pop, I'll opt for a cooler tone. If I want it to be more "harmonious" and subtle, I'll opt for a warm/neutral. But no matter how cool or warm, there still is this complimentary tone from the more muted plum/mauve shades. One blush I find looks awful on me though is like a baby pink cool blush... somehow that just looks so odd and I think because it's a bit less of an "earthy" tone. And you're so right, these are more sophisticated tones. I also LOVE peachy pinks when I want to look very flushed, healthy, youthful. Then I'll opt for something like Rose Inc Foxglove which I mentioned. You can see it in action in my Penelope Featherington makeup look, if you're interested! All these different tones are really all about leaning into different effects, but if you're being mindful of the olive undertone, it's often about opting for the more muted versions of shades (e.g. a terracotta peachy shade rather than a bright orange, a rusty red rather than a bright red). And then, there's also the fun in really work against one's undertones. I think it can be so beautiful and striking to play against one's complexion for more bold and eye-catching looks. Of course, not everyone wants to do that but it really can be a fun way to experiment and really understand how colour works for you and your personality and style. I hope this was helpful or at least interesting. Style Me Jenn talks about olive undertones in depth and the Pale Olive reddit thread can be fun to deep dive into. And don't forget to just have fun with makeup :)
Jeffrey Star has olive concealers☘☘🫒💚
Ooh good to know!
I wonder if I'm fair olive 🤔 I have the same issues as you. My mom is fair cool but my dad is med olive. My sister is med olive too. A lot of colors recommended to me often don't look good, which is frustrating enough being a redhead.
It sounds like you may be! Especially with your background!
I LOOOOOVE Mac Marrakesh, but they changed the colour with the new formulation. Breaks my 💔💔💔
Ughh why do they do this!! 😢
For olive undertones, the "season" categories don't really work for us.
I totally feel that!!
You look neutral leaning cool though. A good example of someone on CZcams with pale olive skin is Alexandra Anele.
Love Alexandra Anele! I think she’s olive undertone with yellow overtone so it’s very obvious with her. That’s just my opinion though. The Lisa Eldridge olive foundation is my closest match ever so make of that info what you will! 🤷♀️
@@evangelinemolly Green is literally yellow and blue mixed. It was your slightly yellowish undertones and pink overtones that gave me the thought “neutral.” You are gorgeous!
Yellow undertones and pink overtones does also make sense! Complexions can be so complex, no pun intended 😂
@@evangelinemolly you’re too cool, I have to subscribe to you!
I loved this video! You know how easily I get lost in the idea of undertones etc, and I’m a big fan of Hannah Louise Poston too. That Lisa Eldridge foundation is undeniably perfect for you! Love love love.
Undertones are such a can of worms when you start deep diving on Reddit threads 😂
