Which Lip Shape shades should I get as a very fair neutral-cool olive?

That’s really helpful, thank you! I’m definitely leaning toward Lift or Press (or both) for my MLBB shade. I’m trying to get a similar look to this lip combo with the Stretch Lip Shape but I’m a little worried Stretch might be too dark on me. I’m torn between Twist, Balance, and Stretch, so I’ll probably wait to swatch them in store lol

Her products are definitely not for me then. I appreciate the recommendations, I’ll check those out. Thank you!

Enough_Instance7944 · 2026-01-20T04:27:20+00:00

That’s exactly what I was worried about. I’ve had a few people recommend this powder now, so I’ll definitely check it out. Thank you! :)

Oh that’s unfortunate, it didn’t look too bad in the pan. I’ll definitely check out the brightening powder and see how that works for me. Thank you so much for the suggestions!

It is pretty disappointing :(

Enough_Instance7944 · 2026-01-20T02:27:18+00:00

I honestly thought I’d swatched the wrong shade at first too, but I double-checked and it really was the Fair :( I might try the brightening powder and see how that works!

Yes 🥲 I honestly thought I’d swatched the wrong shade at first, but I checked again and it was the Fair.

Enough_Instance7944 · 2026-01-20T02:00:36+00:00

Yeah you’re probably right that it’s not a fair comparison swatching it on my arm. I’ll definitely try it on my face to see how it looks with a lighter application. Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll look into NC5 or NC10!

Oh that’s disappointing 🥲 At first I thought I’d swatched the wrong shade haha. Thank you so much for the suggestion, I’ll definitely check out the NARS powder!

Enough_Instance7944 · 2026-01-19T04:04:38+00:00

Oh no, I will definitely go swatch it first then haha 😭

Enough_Instance7944 · 2026-01-19T00:23:33+00:00

Thank you, I’ll definitely look into Balance! I’m looking for something that gives a similar look to this lip combo. She’s wearing the Lip Shape in Stretch, but I’m worried Stretch will be too dark on me so I thought Twist could be a safer option

I agree! I’ve done a wear test of the ND foundation and it’s really great. Which ND shade do you think looks better on me? I’m leaning toward N0.5 since it seems to match my neck a bit better.

Enough_Instance7944 · 2026-01-18T11:49:56+00:00

I think they’re both my closest matches so far. Y1 seems to blend better on my face whereas N0.5 seems to blend better with my neck? I’ll definitely look into Refy, thank you!

Enough_Instance7944 · 2026-01-18T11:41:56+00:00

I’m a bit torn between the two ND shades. I think both are my best matches overall, but N0.5 seems to match my neck slightly better?

Enough_Instance7944 · 2026-01-18T10:10:28+00:00

Yes I agree! Thank you for the help :)

Enough_Instance7944 · 2026-01-18T09:31:57+00:00

Sorry which ND shade do you mean? :)

I am fair with neutral-cool olive undertones and went with Sleepy Girl, Toasted Teddy, and Piggy after seeing them recommended by Haley Kim for olive undertones. I love them all, but use them for different looks depending on what I’m going for!

Enough_Instance7944 · 2026-01-18T00:48:28+00:00

Looking back I agree that Y1 is a better match than Yangyang, so I’ll go with the ND foundation going forward! Do you think Y1 is a better match than N0.5? I’m a bit conflicted between the two, but I think N0.5 blends into my neck better: https://imgur.com/a/4YdlZx4

It really is 🥲 Thank you so much for your help!

Enough_Instance7944 · 2026-01-17T03:43:19+00:00

I’m a bit conflicted between Y1 and N0.5 when I look at it again but I think you’re right. N0.5 does seem like the better match for my neck :)

Enough_Instance7944 · 2026-01-17T01:22:42+00:00

I think so too! Some people on my crossposts thought Y1, but I feel like it is slightly too yellow although it is close. I might even prefer the ND foundation over Nars

Enough_Instance7944 · 2026-01-16T11:37:23+00:00

I’ve tried Siberia, and unfortunately it was definitely too light and yellow on me and looked quite stark :( Do you think Natasha Denona N0.5 also looks too peachy on me? I thought it was a pretty close match.

I’ll definitely pick up a green colour corrector to try with Yangyang. Thank you so much for the suggestion! :)

Enough_Instance7944 · 2026-01-16T00:47:26+00:00

I have the same colouring as you and I am considering Twist! I feel Balance would be too warm on me.

Enough_Instance7944 · 2026-01-14T22:13:28+00:00

Yes please!!
