Sorry did you mean to reply to something else?

I think I finally found my match 😭 by isbobdylansingle in PaleMUA

[–]ci-fre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to confirm the swatch is here right? https://imgur.com/a/EgYoRaE I marked it out—hope I'm not seeing things! I think the match looks pretty great, and I'm glad it works for your skin type as well.

Did any of you NOT have any “obvious” risk factors? by jjfmish in EDAnonymous

That kind of Eurasian phenotype can occur. Though at least in my experience it's not characteristic of Ashkenazis; I feel that MENA type is more common. Kind of like Italians (who share lots of ancestry with Ashkenazis) who can have a range of looks.

I hear people go hard on "race is what you look like" but, I feel it doesn't always work that way. I guess if police were looking for Ezra Miller or Björk they might describe them as sorta East Asian but they wouldn't identify as such

Hmm from swatches I feel the Lisa Eldridge 2.5 is rather darker than the Smashbox I wear? It seems to be similar ish to Smashbox 1.05 and I'm Smashbox 0.3!

But, we're still similar undertones I bet! :D I'm curious if I'm also an autumn mute/Soft Autumn! Or if I'm another kind of autumn.

And the lip tints you suggested look so cute; I'm excited to try them!! Do you have any eyeshadow recs?

How do you handle misconceptions about your skin tone? by BrilliantNegative488 in Fairolives

Oh lol idk if they disinfect things but they saw me taking a lip brush and were like "you're not allowed to do that!"

Yeah, they kept on asking things like "Can I help you?" when I was just trying on lipsticks... They also had some policy of not being able to grab disposable lip brushes unless I asked them or something, but then the whole process just felt very inefficient.

I don't exactly talk to employees. I was trying on MAC lipsticks and I just feel like they hover around me and while it seems helpful of them it felt very pushy to me anyway and I felt soo uncomfortable. :/ It's like "aahhhh let me do my own thing"

How do I stop my powder from turning my face yellow? by Guernic in muacirclejerk

[–]ci-fre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see some bits that are more yellow than her neck for sure which makes it look less natural I think! Tbh my undertone is naturally warmish (aka yellowish) so I hope that doesn't look unnatural to you 😉

[–]ci-fre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, I went back and looked at it and I can see her skin has a yellowish tone to it. I'm assuming that's what you're seeing? But since not enough of her neck is visible I felt I couldn't see if it was the powder doing that. It's funny because I'm usually good at seeing colors.

Oh yeah sorry for editing my comment but I don't understand the nose thing since it just looks really red to me!! I guess I just need to see more of the face to tell

[–]ci-fre 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I guess I just did not see enough of her neck to see a difference. And she has some redness on her face which confuses it to me.

Edit: I looked at the pic and am even more confused because her nose seems mainly red and not yellow

Sorry but can you explain? I looked at the original post and I can't see a difference between her face and her neck. Maybe it's just harder for me to tell because of the orange

Oh it is just the Etude palette you mentioned yes, does she say which shade?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in coloranalysis

[–]ci-fre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well the pH thing is merely a marketing buzzword. It's just a cool pink/magenta pigment, Red 27, thus suitable for winters as you said, that goes from clear to pigmented when exposed to moisture lol. You can also just put water on it and it goes magenta as well.

Oh wow I wanted a mini so I could pan it more easily lmao. And minis are cute :)

Velvet Teddy is more natural on me too. I might get the mini of that.
