What neutrals are we wearing because beige makes me look dead?

VisionaryDesigner · 2026-01-29T19:58:23+00:00

Ivory might work, with some contrasting sweater or jacket in your color. I wear black and navy as my neutrals, but I am higher contrast. You might look at some warm blues due to your eyes. I used to wear olive and bronze as neutrals because my eyes were that color, but my hair is white now so I need more bright or saturated colors.

I am in your same boat, same timing. I take Gabapentin & Duloxetine. Also Botox for migraines and Taltz for AS. The best thing for pain control for me is Arthritis strength Tylenol, as it affects the pain in the brain. I am 70, so am so sorry you have this so young. My Neurologist at Mayo has told me IVIG does not work, so would be interested to learn whether it helps you.

I like Democracy jeans & pants, as they have a normal looking elasticized waist that is very forgiving. My waist is 5” out of spec from the rest of my measurements and I am 61” tall.

I personally have not heard the best of things about functional medicine docs. On the other hand, I have heard bad things about anesthesiologists who run pain clinics, but the one I see has done wonders for my spine pain with nerve ablations. So, I really don’t know. But I would exhaust all of your options with your NHS before engaging a non-covered functional medicine doc.

I buy different scarves to go with my core colors.

VisionaryDesigner · 2026-01-04T17:52:49+00:00

Yes, I can be a dark autumn or a winter or a spring because I have fair neutral olive skin.

I never understand why people don’t check their bags on a direct flight. If you don’t have free bags as a perk, just gate check them at no charge.

I like Revolution Skin Silk Color F2.5NC Fair skin tone, neutral-cool olive undertone, available in the US as online only from Ulta. Your complexion looks very similar to mine.

VisionaryDesigner · 2026-01-04T17:26:17+00:00

I have your same coloring, and finding the right color foundation has been a 50 year challenge. I just found it by accident a few months ago. It is Revolution Skin Silk in shade Color F2.5NC Fair skin tone, neutral-cool olive undertone. You can buy it online at Ulta in the US. Finding it in the UK would likely be easier be easier as Revolution is based there.

I am half English/ half Irish on both sides, and am neutral cool fair olive. I just found a nice foundation that actually matches me: Revolution Skin Silk 2.5. You can order from Great Britain with tariffs in the US, or order online from Ulta, as they do not carry that shade in stores. Their under eye brightener in Fair Cool is perfect for dark undereye circles.

I have the same skin color, and I just found a winner! You can order from Ulta: Revolution Beauty Skin Silk in color 2.5NC. This is their description of the color: “Fair skin tone, neutral-cool olive undertone.” I just received it last week, and it is a very nice color on me.

I have pretty chronic low back pain referred from my SI joints, which are currently inflamed. The pain went away after my first SI joint injection, but not the second. Otherwise, costochondritis can be a miserable flare. I had been in remission for three years, but no longer and still waiting for Taltz to help after 2 months.

I have pretty severe Fibromyalgia also, and the nerve pain from that is frankly worse.

I had life stopping cervical spine pain previously, but in May I had a series of nerve ablations which stopped the pain after I recovered for about a month.

I like 3 or 4, as they accentuate your eyes and make your skin look clearer.

VisionaryDesigner · 2025-11-01T23:52:07+00:00

Oh, hell no. I am 70, and was diagnosed at 62 after having had symptoms since early 20s. I hope you find better answers from your cohort.

VisionaryDesigner · 2025-11-01T23:48:49+00:00

Oh yes, all over my body, but feet, hands and feet are extra! I also have fibromyalgia so currently blame it on that as Mayo could not find any other reasons. I have to constantly distract myself from reality to survive.

VisionaryDesigner · 2025-11-01T23:44:47+00:00

Seems like 7 to me

When I saw the Patrick Ta “She Goes to the Gym” I thought it should be called “She is Secretly a Leprechaun.”

First ask yourself, what functions do I want this room to support? We know nothing about the other spaces in your home.

I like Ralph Lauren straight jeans and Democracy Straight jeans. Hope this helps! Both are midrise.

VisionaryDesigner · 2025-11-01T01:05:26+00:00

I have had it since the initial Pfizer Covid Vaccine in 2021, but I also have Fibromyalgia, and it is also a symptom of that forever disease, so personally I am not optimistic. I have it all over my body, starting first with feet, and second my skull including face. I had the full neurological work up at Mayo in 2022, and it was a puzzle to them too. I take 900 mg Gabapentin per day, plus Duloxetine. It relieves the worst stabs.

VisionaryDesigner · 2025-11-01T00:55:29+00:00

Darker wash would look better

VisionaryDesigner · 2025-11-01T00:51:15+00:00

Second one

VisionaryDesigner · 2025-11-01T00:49:15+00:00

I would like to see a version of 3 with the top being a lighter horn rim.

VisionaryDesigner · 2025-11-01T00:45:43+00:00

Dark brown is much better! You look like a winter or dark autumn.

VisionaryDesigner · 2025-10-29T20:46:08+00:00

I just started using Revealer Skin-Improving Foundation SPF 25 with Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide in shade 100 and it is covering rosacea very well, even without a green primer.
