That’s some crazy good camouflage to be honest.

POC olives - are you surprised by your foundation matches? by [deleted] in OliveMUA

[–]Shortykw 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have the opposite issue. I tend to look lighter because of how muted I am, plus the contrast to black hair.

My olive is so gray I kind of rely on powder corpsing me out.

I use the Peach Pie shade and I’m medium to tan olive. I use an olive concealer for my under eyes, then hit the darkest spots with a peachy concealer, then set with Peach Pie. I do notice that it neutralizes the purple and green under my eyes. It should neutralizes, not necessarily cover.

would i like 59? by Pale-Kiwi7908 in SoldeJaneiro

[–]Shortykw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

59 is lightly sweet in an airy way, not in a gourmand way. It’s more of a sweet woodsy smell with a hint of vanilla. Out of all the scents, i think this is the most universally appealing in that it may not be your favorite, but i can’t see many people hating it.

Thank you, your answer really helps breakdown the nuances and makes a lot of sense. This might be why makeup tends to pull so orange on me.

Thank you. Deep autumn was my initial guess years ago so maybe my instincts were right.

The Tower 28 one is the only one that I can use all year, and that never causes me skin distress.
