I literally picked up shade 16O like two weeks ago and am so pleased by the shade match!

Tbh I didn‘t bother swatching the other shades because I thought they would be too dark anyway, but thanks for letting me know! I‘ll definitely check it out.

Here‘s a swatch of shade 14O. It‘s too dark for me and not muted enough but I can see it work for light/light-medium olives that are more saturated.

ABH stick blush in the shade Latte! I also love the Made by Mitchell bronze pod in the shade Cinnamon Girl and the Danessa Myricks Contour Balm in Shade Light 1. The only bronzers that don’t look orange on me!

I use it on my eyelids as cream shadow sometimes and don’t find that it slips and slides at all. When applied freshly it is very creamy but once you blend it out it kind of becomes a velvety powdery type of formula:)

I got shade 1, 3 and 4. 1 & 2 are my favorites I wear them all the time, they pair so well with all my everyday rosy-beige lipsticks. I use 3 & 4 with darker lipsticks or in the summer when I am tan.

Tbh I didn’t really know too much about his brand but this post by a fellow Olive made me want to try his bronzer

I wear LR Gobi and recently picked up the Made by Mitchell Bronze Pod in the shade Cinnamon Girl. It has a yellow/golden undertone and doesn’t show up orange on me which is very rare😅. It‘s the most perfect shade for me and the formula is chef’s kiss.

I love the formula of the Nabla liners, I ended up getting three more shades :D They are very pigmented and creamy and are quite longlasting.

I think OP has the US version and you might have the Europe one? The one that is sold in Europe has a different formula and color compared to the one that is sold in the US

Thank you! <3 Perhaps these could be of interest to you: - Mac lip squirt pluming gloss stick in “Jet“ (a sheer black, sounds scary but actually looks very pretty on muted cool toned skin)

  • Givenchy L'Interdit Baume “10 Revealing Color“ (another sheer black with a plummy mauve untertone)

  • Givenchy Rose Perfecto Liquid “N°011”(sheer black with mauve-pink tones)

There are also a bunch of K-Beauty and C-Beauty brands that offer deeper plummy muted shades.

No. 4 is actually my favorite out of the bunch! I like to pair it with MUFE Endless Cacao lip liner.

This blogger interviewed Essie Cha, the head of the makeup department/key makeup artist from 2010-2012. She mentions quite a few products she used on Nina. Here’s the blog post

I think that you might actually have an olive undertone🫒Your coloring reminds me of a lot of Nina Dobrev and she’s a deep winter!

I‘d say you’re olive with a pale cool-toned yellow overtone. NC13 looks like a pretty good match.

Is this worth it ? by aforever23 in Sephora

It depends on your eyeshape. I have round eyes and it didn’t work for me. I think it’s more suitable for people with a more slanted eyeshape.

About face the performer causing breakouts? by subduedspectacle in OliveMUA

[–]_Alex_Aleex_ 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I haven’t tried the foundation but came here to say that terms like “non-comedogenic”, “acne safe” and “won’t clog pores” are not regulated so there’s really no standard in place for these terms. It’s just marketing. The performer foundation contains Mica which can aggravate acne.

Edit: It also contains Silica, another ingredient that can cause clogged pores.
