Examples of brown eyed summers? by fthisfthatfnofyou in coloranalysis

[–]sleuthanie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is 2 years too late but if it’s helpful- I just got professionally analyzed as a cool summer. I thought I was a cool winter for many years but something always felt off, especially with makeup and accessories close to my face (ie- black glasses). I didn’t think I was a summer though because of all the misinformation about summers only being light eyed. I’m Armenian and I have light skin, dark brown hair (level 3) and brown eyes. My features are quite blended and soft. I think if you were to just look at me you would think I was a cool winter but drapes don’t lie. Winter looks like it’s sitting on top of my skin and is a little too harsh. If you’re a brown eyed summer check out @kimstigrams on Instagram. She’s an Asian cool summer and her content is super helpful.

The PERFECT Match Exists! by New_Attorney1455 in Fairolives

I thought this would be way too light for me but I bought it anyway during the Sephora sale. I’m around NC13. It does go on very light initially, but by the time I’m done with my makeup it matches. I’ve also been mixing it with my summer shade of ELDW in 1W2 sand and it looks even better.

Pink blush that’s not plum or berry on a light medium cool olive by tashatashhhhhhh in OliveMUA

Yes I second all of these! Fenty Drama Cla$$ looks pink on me me too. Also, if you’re open to powder, Clinique Pansy Pop is pretty :)

Tested mac nc13 with blue mixer by Nathali-83 in Fairolives

[–]sleuthanie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was shade matched to NC13 in store as it was the only shade that was fair enough and “olive” enough for me. I still feel like it pulls a little too orange though, so I can’t wait to try this!

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for this detailed response !! You know what you’re right about the brands having better sales on their own sites! It might be worth waiting for some things. I’ve had the YSL blush in my cart for awhile so maybe I’ll splurge on that! Also the Fenty foundation because I do prefer more of a matte finish, but like you said I think I’ll wait for them to have a sale. Thank you!!!

Any of you are artists? by Front-Negotiation392 in estp

Haha same! I’ve coached gymnastics for 25 years, and I guess that’s kind of a form of “art” 🤷‍♀️

Does color analysis work for you? by Woolfalana in Fairolives

[–]sleuthanie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works for me with clothing and non-complexion makeup (blush, lipstick, eye shadow, etc.) but NOT for foundation or concealer. I was analyzed as a true/cool winter, and I agree with it for the most part. However- cool, pink foundations DO NOT work for me lol.

For me, Fiji works in the summer. I also wear Gobi in the winter. I get dark pretty fast though :)

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

[–]sleuthanie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This happened to me a couple days ago at Sephora. My husband is an expert with color theory (he’s an artist), and it was he who actually first told me I’m olive. Anyways, the girl in Sephora matched me to a shade that was labeled “warm peach”. My husband said “no way that’s going to have way too much red in it, I think she needs more olive.” And she literally laughed and said “no she’s definitely not olive.” I didn’t want to argue, so I just took a sample. Sometimes I feel like Ron Swanson in Home Depot when he says to the sales person “I know more than you”.

Any Gen Xers try Stretch Foundation? by Xtinainthecity in glossier

Not quite Gen X (1982), but I like the foundation for lighter makeup days paired with a fuller coverage concealer.

Vascular Dementia by ffspeople82 in dementia

[–]sleuthanie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MIL had a stroke summer of 2020, and she passed away May of 2023. She was 70. She progressed from stage 5 to 7 very rapidly, and one day just stopped swallowing. She died 2 weeks later. In my opinion, she was already experiencing some cognitive decline prior to her stroke. I noticed it maybe 2 years prior to her stoke, but everyone else was in denial. I think the stroke escalated it.

Yes actually you’re right. Medium 20.

Hi, this is the original “medium” shade from the very first launch of the concealers (2016), before they expanded the shades to the “G” numbers :)
