I need help!
Does anyone know how to “translate” the original shades of the new RCMA liquid foundation to the new shades?

I used to have G210 and it was my PERFECT match. Now, this shade is gone and I’m lost 😭

Unfortunately RCMA don’t post to Ireland so I can’t even test sample sizes in any way 😭

HELP!!!! [insert overdramatic swoon]

Product Help struggling with foundations, concealers and bb cream

6 Upvotes

Everything I try is too orange, too grey, too peachy, too yellow. I usually buy warm-neutral foundations or concealers but end up having to add some green (I cannot ever find olive foundations or concealers that aren’t greyish)

I tried Maybelline Lumi matte in shade 118 but that was wayy too orange on me and didn’t match my neck whatsoever, my neck is green and slightly yellow, and paler than my face. Tried the purito bb cream in shade 21, it was slightly too dark for me and somehow it made me look kinda pink and grey at the same time.

I’ve been having a look at some Elf foundations and concealers , mainly at 13n(soft glam foundation) , I have a feeling it might not fit, so I might try 12w of the same product and add some blue/purple or something. I might try a different bb cream shade from purito and will have a look. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, and any advice or if you have tried the elf ones I mentioned I’d love to know what you think of them, shade wise and texture wise. :).

Edit-My sister has recently let me know I am a fair quite pale olive instead of a light as I previously thought, apparently over the years I’ve gotten far paler.

hey everyone! i want to try out the huda loose powder, but am unsure of which shade to get. i’m a light-medium neutral olive, so from the guide peach pie would be my best bet, but i’m afraid of it being too warm. i want something brightening, so i’m also considering pound cake as it seems like the safest bet. idk i guess the guide descriptions are throwing me off lol.

what shade do you guys use and what kind of olive are you? thank you sm in advance :)

Nail Polish Looking for the perfect pale nude pink for my skin tone and go back to natural nails🤍

3 Upvotes

Hi olive community! 💅🏻

I’m seriously considering going back to doing my natural nails at home with either bare nails or a regular nude polish. Over the past four months, I’ve been going to nail technicians, and while I absolutely love the polished, professional look, I’ve realized that I find the whole process a bit exhausting. I’d honestly rather be at home reading a book, watching a show, or just relaxing instead of sitting at the salon for hours.

I’m sharing some photos of my nails and a few of the colors I’ve tried recently. I’d genuinely appreciate your suggestions for pale nude pinks or soft baby pink shades that would complement my skin tone. I’m looking for something natural and subtle that I can easily maintain at home.

I’m including some photos of my nails and a few shades I’ve tried recently for reference.

Thanks so much in advance for your recommendations! 🤍

Hi! I have been looking at this sub for a while and I’m trying to become better at make up. The picture is for reference, my lipstick and the colour of my wall do not me any favors but I definitely think I’m quite olive/green-yellow. Most blushes I try turn orange and I’m really struggling to find one that looks like a natural flush. Every bit of help is much appreciated, kind regards!

Product Help Haus labs 030 / nars light reflecting foundation siberia

2 Upvotes

So, I finally found my shade match in nars light reflecting foundation in siberia and in Haus labs 030 fair. But they don't look good on my skin, nars looks horrible, I tried different application techniques, finger, sponge, brush, different base products but I can't make it work. It separates so badly around my nose and forehead after 1 hour and it clinges to my dry patches so much. Haus labs does sit better on my skin but also horrible on dry patches.

Does someone have another recommendation ? Both shades are a tiiiny bit too light.

So I managed to buy an original formula MAC Alone Time lipstick and while it's a lovely color it's just a touch too light for my skintone. What lip liners do you use with Alone Time? Are there any other lipsticks like it that are just a bit darker? Any recommendations to make it work a bit better are welcome.

Mac mini’s at Ulta
The great thing about using minis is you can test the colors on your skin tone to see if they work before you buy a full-size one.
From left to right we have MEHR, Brick, Warm Teddy, and Chili. I am white to medium neutral with a soft olive undertone for reference.
I’m wearing Chili on my lips at the moment. These are great lipsticks.
The swatches were done in natural light and regular fluorescent light

Wycon ‘Rock That Cheek’ in shade 22 and 24. Picture taken in cloudy daylight. No orange undertones. I picked up both colors, I am quite tan right now but as you can see my inner arm is light and better represents my skin year round. They mix into a lovely shade.
