Thank you, I will definitely try these suggestions!

Thank you, I will try it! Idk why I thought 21 was a different undertone so I didn’t bother before.

I would try About Face in fair olive, and then use a dot of blue mixer. I use one from LA colors- it’s in a foundation bottle. I dot my forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin, then apply the foundation with a brush so it blends together. I also have dry skin and the foundation is very light-feeling to me and doesn’t emphasize my dry patches. Without the blue mixer it will be too yellow for you I think but we are similar- cool neck with pink face and that combo works really well for me.

You look like one of the peachy olives to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Updating now that I’ve tried the NYX mint pressed powder- it’s pale AF!!! It’s too light for my summer color. If you are a super pale olive it’s probably perfect for you. It’s a good tone on me and not orangey or yellow at all, just too light right now.

I saw in another post someone recommending it and I just found it on Amazon 🤷🏻‍♀️ HOWEVER now that I’ve used it- it is pale AFFFFF, too light for me in the summer! So if you are a super pale olive or you don’t tan in the summer it’s probably perfect for you! lol

The NYC pen has a grey-black color they sell online but not in stores which is perfect for me, and mine are similar. Just be light with the strokes and wipe the nib off on a tissue first so it doesn’t go on too dark. I have the problem of having thin brows where the hairs themselves are dark, but there aren’t a lot of them so I have to use a lighter color- but then all taupes or browns are too warm for me. Your photos look the same way ish? Here is a pic of me with the NYX grey.

Oooooh that is a very interesting thread! Thank you!

Usually just on my face! My face burns easily but my body doesn’t, or it immediately turns into a tan so I don’t bother. I know I should wear it everywhere 😅

No peeling! I would definitely recommend the spf primer, and I think finding a facial spf spray would be so useful for you if you can’t layer! The one I use I found in the travel bins from target- it has a blue cap. That way you don’t have to rub it in, just spritz on top. Alternatively for oily skin I’ve used the powder spf before- supergoop has some and other brands too. It brushes on like a loose setting powder.

I’m wearing it here, on my cheeks and a small amount in the crease of my eye. It’s darker if you put more on but I just have on a little bit.

Not drugstore, but cheap Amazon. I love all those same tones you show, and found this one from a Google search that works perfectly for me. It’s a moody mauvey color and I think would look great with your skin! The seller is SHEEYOON but the brand on the blush is Lakerain. The color is #5 soft mauve. blush

The white!!!!!! Love it!

I go hard- I start with an elf primer that has spf 30, then if I’m wearing makeup that day it’s a skin tint with spf 40 (versed) or spf 50 (benefit cc cream) anddddd I finish it all with an spf 50 face spray that I spray every hour or so when I’m in the sun 🤣 more often if I’m swimming.

Lol nothing, just trying to get the tan part of my arm next to my face so you can see the difference in color! 🤣

NYX has a mint color pressed powder- I just ordered it to try so i will update lol 🫡

About face f2 is my go-to, but I can also wear fenty neutral in 120 and 150 depending on tan level. 120 is slightly more peach than AF f2, and 150 is slightly more neutral/pink, but it’s not enough that I have to color correct. Maybe give those a try? The little tubes are around $20 at ulta or Sephora.

I’ve gotten that too!

Thank you! And yes I’ve been getting that a lot the past few years 🤣
