HLP is much paler though.

Just jumping on the also mid 30s woman with a pale warm olive skintone, I remember in high school I would purposefully tan just so I could get skin dark enough to work with the limited makeup options of the early '00s.

Fortunately there is the Mehron Face Paint to use as foundation pigment corrector (not color corrector which will change the formulation of a foundation) in blue and green which are under $10 and will last indefinitely since it takes so little to make a huge difference. As a medium cool-olive it's very challenging to find appropriate red lipsticks, blushes, nude lipsticks, perfect taupes, etc. Would LOVE if you could find a medium olive model to show the color shifts of normal makeup vs what works for us.

I’m a Southeast Asian (a mixture of Arabian, Pakistani, Malay, Chinese and Siamese). I am definitely on the lighter to medium shade but nothing matched! It is always yellow or pink options. Finding undertones is so confusing for me too!! Some days my purple veins are more prominent while some it’s the blue. When I put on yellow, i look dead n monotone. When i put on pink, i look ashy grey. On some days (fresh face without make up) i have this pinkish red undertone, on some days i am just pale yellowish. Make up artists said I’m a neutral undertone. But why putting on neutral fd shades washes me out though? Plus, not all colors look great on me! I have been told neutral skin color can wear any color and it pops. But mine is not. Until i found Alex Anele and all of you here to finally realized there is another set of skin undertone which is OLIVE. Thelipsticklesbians channel further explained, the beauty industry has been using red, blue and yellow in making their products. While adding black n white to lighten or darken the shades. Only one brand (i forgot the name. Need to revisit their shorts!) had started to incorporate green into their shade formulation. But it is a slow exposure though. I hope us olives will start getting the same exposures like the blacks, brown, pinks, yellow n pale white girlies all together!

Indonesian here and I thought I'm just by myself 😅😅😅😅 most of my friends who has olive skin is darker than me and they have no problem finding their shades

I’m a fair-medium cool olive, and look warmer when I tan due to the yellow/olive overtone I have. I (and i can prob speak for the other olives in the comments) would love to see more videos like this where you discuss undertones/overtones in general as well as trying makeup for olive tones! There’s so much misinformation out there on the topic but you get it.🙌🏻 The subreddit r/OliveMUA has been a lifesaver for me to find products that work. We’re in the trenches here lol thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I’m pretty sure the reason why these color correctors don’t work for you is more because your dark circles are not blue-they’re almost purplish red. That means that you need a pale yellow to cancel them out. It sounds weird but it might just work The orange corrector is definitely too deep, but the reason why it looks better is because it does have more yellow in it, being orange and all, whereas the pink one is basically the color of your dark circles. All it does is enhance them rather than cancelling them out. A color corrector shouldn’t be flattering it should simply neutralize the color underneath so your base doesn’t have tonal differences when you put your concealer on. I think elf’s yellow corrector would probably help you out a lot. This isn’t a pale olive problem I think it’s a personal thing. I’m pale olive and my dark circles are a deep muddy blue that almost leans green, so I use a do use a bright, peach. I know your video isn’t really about this and more about how everyone assumes olive has to be deep to be olive but I just wanted to point it out cuz the title is a bit misleading.

Truly, its such a blessing to have found you as a fair olive beauty creator. The struggle to find makeup for my skin tone is soooo real. Especially affordable products! Im fair olive, but not crazy crazy light, pretty neutral but leaning a little more on the yellow side. The best color corrector ive found is a pale yellow for my undereyes (and i also prefer it to green for red/dark blemishes too). Ive tried light peaches and orange and pinks and nothing looks right. Concealers foundations powders etc almost always look orange or pink on me, even the “light neutral” ones, and its sooo frustrating. Dont even get me started on contour and brow colors…. Thank god i have you for product recs and techniques and also just killer looks in general.

Great video Alex, very informative. Your understanding & explanation of colour theory is SO helpful. ps That lip colour is gorgeous!!

Yea idk im still confused about my tone. I work best with a yellow toned foundation but then i have to put a crap ton of blue corrector into it. And then i use a lavender corrector to brighten so i dont look so yellow. But if i use a cool pinky tone foundation it doesnt even look acceptable i look so ugly and ridiculous. Although pink blush looks better on me then peach blush??? So do pink lip products. But grey eyeshadow looks super chalky on me?? But i think grey looks better on me than beige when it comes to clothing. So i havent the foggiest whats wrong with me. I mean i have tried “neutral” foundation like the grey missha perfect bb cream ( a sample of the grey color) and that just looked grey???? And a little dirty on my face??? But when i stand next to my sister i glow a saturated yellowy green color, like quite green.

Pale warm olive here, same experience! However, I accidentally found a holy grail for that, a colour corrector that is a 'dirty pink peach' and actually works on my skin tone. It's ArtDeco's Camouflage Cream in the colour 5 light whiskey. ArtDeco is a German brand and is easy to get in continental Europe, but I guess you can get it online everywhere. They are CF.

I saw you had the Maybelline Eraser corrector in pink when you did your organizing video. I’d love to see you use that vs their yellow corrector. I have the yelllow but sometimes wonder if I would be better served by the pink. Drugstore Comparison video please?? 💗💛

So confusing, but as soon as I followed you and started to mixed green or all those wrong shades of cold greyish Korean bb creams into my most used foundations (all of them!) , for the first time in my life I created in my face something that has the right color! Yellow bit of olive, not too much peach bit just a bit. Just now I understood thank to your Chanel how difficult it is to find something matching for not fair but light and slightly olive skintone.🤯🤯🤯 my brain exploded now but in a positive way. ❤❤❤ thanks for that, this Chanel transformed my way of seeing the Colors now.

This was sooo illustrative, the results are so drastic you can really see the difference (and how neither work for you)

I am a fair-light neutral leaning cool olive the best color corrector/concealer for me has been Mac Paint Pot In Soft Ochre. It takes very little product. I don't need to layer any other concealer over it. It doesn't budge.

I've finally found you! The OTHER girl with pale olive skin. I often have to scour eye shadows and lip colors to find the right colors for my skin because it's almost as light as your hair. The products never have the right consistency or finish. Sometimes I feel like a de-saturated emoji. Liked, subbed and all the rest!

I love your olive videos because it’s nice to relate to the struggle!

Lisa Eldridge is the only one I’ve found to be close enough. And don’t get me started on bronzers lol

Your skin tone doesn’t matter with color correctors. What matters is the color of your dark circles. For Alex, peach doesn’t work because her dark circles are already quite warm and red, so she would need either a pale purple or even greenish blue to cancel out her pigmentation. It’s just color theory. Not all dark circles are blue, meaning that orange or peach wont work for most people.

your video on using green correctors / liquids to mix in foundations to adjust the tone is a life saver! I'll very soon experiment with it ^^ I'm fair/light with neutral olive undertone. I always thought I was warm but like you show here warm undertone products for the longest time would show up noticably dark on me and I'm extremely oily too so my oils almost always turn the foundation a bit darker by the end of the day. the vein test doesn't help me. and when I'm right next to a very fair cool toned friend I look noticably warm, but when I'm next to someone with an obvious warm/yellowish tones skin I appear cooler. that's when I can see olive the most. as make up brands started relesing more color choices I realized fair/light neutral undertones matched me the best. especially Korean BB creams that are very light and have a gray-ish undertone seemed to suit me the best. but I definitely have olive hues in my skin. so very excited to do better matches soon ^^

Thanks for the video, I learned something new.

I feel you as a light cool olive asian skin tone🥲

I completely agree; I have always had such a hard time finding the right concealers and foundations for my skin tone because for some reason the lighter products go the more pink the undertones are. I'm warm and tan easily but lean more towards nuetral. So if I go any darker the products are too yellow and I look sallow and washed out. Very frustrating. And the women at Sephora give me different advice each time. Some recommend a yellower to nuetral shade while others say I need more pink to counter the yellow undertones 😮‍💨

Would love to see some color theory on which colors enhance different skin tones and eye colors.

Thank you so much for making this (and saving my money)! I have a warmer undertone and was hoping I could make those peach correctors work, but I'm more pale than you are so there's absolutely no way 😂💀

It seems to me that using the colour wheel should guide folks into which corrector to use. Undertones are either yellow or blue. And undereye circles are blue and/or purple. Therefore, the hues opposite them on the color wheel are orange and yellow. Mathematically, blue cancels orange. Therefore, applying an orange-based corrector will cancel out the blue. Same with purple and yellow. So why doesn't this work? You're an artist too, so I am anxious to find out what you think. Cheers.

I found out about my olive undertone recently… Thanks to Monica R I found the L.A. Girl blue pigment so now I am fixing every foundation I got and I am so glad about it!!!!

I thought blue pigment is to make it cool undertone and green for olive? I use the green to fix foundations and it works.

​@@cruz111 Blue + yellow = green. Typically a foundation with yellowy tones, if mixed with the blue corrector, matches really well. A peachy foundation also benefits because it turns neutral, which while not ideal, is much better than leaning one way or the other. Either way, blue works - just add a little less than would be used for a cool tone, and voila, something that sort of works for olives 😊

Not really sure but I did add quite some blue + white of the L.A. Girl foundation pigment to L'Oreal Paris Infallible Fresh Wear liquid foundation in the shade of 120 Vanilla and then it works to my skin colour LOL (solely Fresh Wear Vanilla is too dark and too orange as if I'm burnt cheesecake LMAO) I wonder whether I'm olive? What kind of olive am I? And every sales advisor seeing me as 'yellow' Asian LOL

The Bobbi Brown corrector sticks are really nice for the under eye. I have a similar depth and undertone to you. The Light Bisque color worked out well for me, but they have peach tones too. I feel like pale olive isn’t really a thing for most cosmetics.

❤Proudly olive oily-skinned girl here, somewhere between 3-4 on the Fitzpatrick scale. And I'm facing the same problems with makeup, hence I too rely heavily on my skincare. Subscribed almost immediately. Finally found my home here! ❤I love your charisma and mannerisms too (had to thriw that in there).

Seint Demi has a color corrector for your skin tone! Their Demi is absolutely amazing and an absolute life changer - especially for mature skin as well.

I use the Saem concealer in Peach Beige is the most perfect for fair-light range with super dark under eye area !

The. Nostril Flare!!! ❤

This makes so much sense! I have trouble with blush, too - peach is too orange and pink is too stark.

Very helpful! ❤

I use the Bobbi brown corrector, they have several shades and it's very good !

Girl THANK YOU. I was actually laughing from seeing how neither fits you because IT'S SO TRUE. Shit!! I'm so glad there's you and other people in the comments here who have the same struggle. I was thinking maybe it's me who is the problem, because every make up product literally does not FIT me. I'm fair olive leaning towards the cooler side. I cannot even tell you how many different products I've used and mixed to understand why none of them fit! Neither pink nor peach ones. Really, thank you for advocating for us. I feel relieved to know there are more people like me ❤❤❤

Thanks for doing this for the Science ❤

I'm a light warm olive and the new About Face foundation in shade L2 Olive has been wonderful!

Oooooo I’m dying to try this foundation 😭

You’re great. Thank you

I am pale olive too and there is an elf under eye corrector that I think works really good. It's in a little pot.

I go through the same thing all the time. I’m more olive toned/neutral & fair skinned. The pink & peach don’t work for me especially if they are more dark & too much pink/peach. Smh the struggle is real. Thank you for this video. That’s why I’m so happy with my Haus Labs foundation. The tones/color I found in a foundation match are so good. I need to get the concealer still. 💖🙂

I'm waiting for your fair olive skin foundations video!!
