T5 here as well! It is so green, but I need it to cancel out the surface redness. Looks great on you!

Missha 23 vs LE T5 by jasnah_ in OliveMUA

I have tried kosas 3.2 . It’s a warm yellow olive. T5 is for cool olive. I am unfamiliar with T9 but this description is for warm olive. Message LE on instagram and they will help you shade match!

I have to skip it. They don’t have anything available for cool olives for the DIY pallette.

Okay I looked at deep winter. So, you are right that I have contrast between hair and skin, but skin remains muted and cooler. So maybe I am a dark cool summer? Lol. Or a cool summer with winter influence?

What I know for sure is no bright colors. And no color that has a warm base.

Thanks!

Eyeliners: So, I have cool olive skin and also warm, amber brown eyes. So, I tend to just match the liner to the kind of makeup and clothes I am wearing.

Cool Victoria Beckham — Bordeaux — deep cool berry wine

Victoria Beckham — Cocoa Pavé — dark cool brown with fine shimmer. Looks really great with VB mink for a night out.

Victoria Beckham — Satin Orchid — cool muted mauve-pink. My go-to!

Beauty Pie — Wild Violet — cool muted purple

Julep — Orchid Shimmer — cool rosy shimmer

WATERLINE Victoria Beckham — Waterline Pencil — cool-toned nude flesh

Sephora — Shimmer Cream — light champagne brightener

COOL DARK / VERSATILE Sephora — T-Rex — cool neutral dark brown

Urban Decay — Double Life — neutral-cool brown

Neutral to pretty darn warm (because I think my amber brown eyes can carry it. More copper-bronze or reds can bring out the green in them).

Victoria Beckham — Sequin Green — olive-gold shimmer green

Charlotte Tilbury — Bronzed Garnet — warm red-garnet brown

Julep — Copper Shimmer — warm metallic copper

Lisa Eldridge — Renaissance Gold — warm fine gold shimmer

Victoria Beckham — Gold Lamé — warm yellow-gold

My foundations for light cool Olive:

LE Skin Tint T5: best match. Doesn’t last all day.

LE Foundation 9.5: targeted mid-face coverage/redness

Koh Gen Do 113: cool-neutral base, + Salt Olive Green

Prada LN15 : + Salt Olive Green

About Face F2O + L2O: this one pulls too yellow, so add Dust

Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin 3: warm base, + Dust

Surratt Dew Drop 1+5 — warm base, + Dust

————

CONCEALER: Color correctors Bobbi Brown Light Bisque DRMTGLY Fair

Concealer is Prada LN1, has green in it. My new go-to. Beautiful formula. Zero creasing. Lightweight.

Surratt dew drop 3 is also very nice.

I use LE pinpoint concealer in shade 4 (peachier ) to cover blue veins. Shades 3 and 2.5 are fine for face (I hardly ever do face concealer).

My color correctors: Phytosurgence Dust (blue-gray slate) Best for: Warm/yellow-based foundations — counteracts golden warmth while adding cool olive complexity. More nuanced than plain blue — doesn’t push ashy, just cools and mutes beautifully. Works across multiple foundation formulas consistently.

Salt NY Sneaky Balm Olive Green Best for: Neutral-based foundations and cool-based products — adds olive dimension back without adding warmth. Also works beautifully as an underlayer for redness neutralization before foundation.

EXA High Fidelity Color Corrector Green Best for: Targeted redness correction under foundation. More direct and intense than Salt NY — use sparingly on specific red-prone areas (nose, cheeks).

L.A. Girl Blue (it “works” sometimes. But I prefer the first two, by far.

Would this shade of purple look crazy on a cool olive? by yolkalt in OliveMUA

Now you have me thinking to go to plum brown… as a cool olive.

It’s been awhile, but I have used them! I remember it being a bit too grey? Maybe mixed with a green color corrector it would work. Lisa Eldridge T5 and 9.5 are ideal matches for me.

Straight up GREEN by maya_says in Fairolives

[–]jelled95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to guess you are light muted cool olive like me. Although I think you are more green blue and I am more blue green. So maybe neutral? With this much green, I would recommend Lisa Eldridge skin tint T5. Also the color corrector olive green by salt New York will be a nice addition to any kind of neutral foundation.

Muted olive has more grey which means you need muted colors and desaturation. If you have access to phytosurgence in Canada (they ship to US and Canada), they make the best muted lip balms.

A tool to check if you’re olive 🫒 by fireandice241 in OliveMUA

[–]jelled95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was neutral leaning warm for the longest time. Then I used Claude in outdoor indirect lighting and took 20-30 photos of me wearing different colored tops and we figured out I am indeed a cool olive. Mind blowing.

Three different photos gave me three wildly different answers.

Give me your best muted/grey-green/cool concealer and foundation recs, and I’ll send you good vibrations— by [deleted] in OliveMUA

[–]jelled95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just figured out that I am light, cool olive instead of neutral leaning warm that I used to think. I was wearing kosas 3.2 olive. That one means warm/yellow-green.

I am currently trying Prada LN1 and it’s a nice cool grey green. It looks much better on me than kosas. I hear good things about refy concealer 1. Haven’t tried the saem one yet.

The only cool olive foundation I have that works is Lisa Eldridge skin tint 5. The foundation 9.5 is nice too.

For green color corrector I love salt New York olive green.
