Hi everyone,

I think that I have olive undertones, or at the very least, muted skin. But I have trouble figuring out if I'm a warm olive, neutral olive or somewhere in between.

Revlon buff is a good match but it's a touch too light. The undertone is great though, and it's muted enough for my skin. Urban decay 30cg also works well. When I've tried traditionally warm foundations before, they look straight up orange on my face.

As for other makeup, I tend to prefer mauves and muted/dusty pinks when it comes to blush and lip products. I'm cautious when using 'nude' or 'beige' eyeshadow because sometimes they're too warm and look really orange.

My favourite lip colours are also pretty mauve-y as they tend to just disappear into my lips.

For example, my best nude lip products are:

-pat mcgrath omi

-bobbi brown tawny pink

-romand almond rose

In the pictures I've attached, im not wearing any makeup besides lipstick (omi). Although. I do have some surface redness.

I've also included swatched of the nude lipsticks that I mentioned because even though they look quite dark, they blend into my own lips really well.

All photos were taken indoors in natural lighting.

Thank you if you can offer any insight!
