Everyone even other KZfaqrs need to see this. This is so great Nikki. I see so many women just picking popular shades and I don’t understand that. I never chose what I think will work. I also love the Haus labs and on her website you can purchase tester boxes with 3 shades. Find your shade for free and if you purchase the full size you are not charged. That is just amazing every brand should do that. My makeup application has really stepped up since o have followed your suggestions. No one knows better than a pro. You and Susan has improved my skin and makeup. The wonder duo. Lol. I’m sorry to hear about your loss and my thoughts are with you and your family.

@@laurielyons2284 - cool bronzers are pink or red undertones. Warm bronzers are yellow or light brown (think coffee with cream color.)

Can every Sephora and Ulta and other department store beauty rep please watch this video?! Because of you, I have finally figured out that I am an Olive undertone and not warm! Everything that I kept getting recommended by Sephora employees have always turned out to be orange on me. You are a savior! This will be the only way I ever swatch for shades in the future, thank you!! ❤

@deathglitterr 18 күн бұрын

Unfortunately, some brands like MAC and Estee Lauder lean a bit too heavy on the yellow/orange side in my opinion for all shades. So sometimes it’s not the employees fault. They’re just having to pick the closest one to your skin shade even though it’s not “perfect”

Omg. Girl, thank you!!!! I am a hair colorist, and I love teaching the laws of hair colored to other people. I follow many beauty influencers, but none of them, in my opinion, have taught the “why” to make up. They have only taught the “how”. So I thank you and I appreciate you for making this video.

Thank you, Nikki! As a light medium olive, i’m so happy olive tones were also mentioned for a color matching video. Not many videos mention this so it’s so hard to get proper swatches and i end up just getting neutral shades. This is so helpful & detailed!

@audreyso1201 8 ай бұрын

Choosing foundation is certainly the hardest step of makeup, thank you for all this advice.

@Lighthouse1852 9 ай бұрын

For paler olives there's another option: Lisa Eldridge's foundation in 2.5, which is too green on me but would be a godsend for someone else. Light-to-light medium olives, take note of shades 9 and 9.5. I rarely find a good match. Usually there's a tradeoff either on depth or undertone. To me, a sheer foundation has more undertone flexibility and can work OK even if it's too deep. (But never go lighter than the skin or it will look gray.) A high coverage foundation should be well matched to the neck, even if the neck is different from the bare face. Wearing foundation on the neck is so messy that it's just an easier starting point. Some day I hope Ulta and Sephora will have a foundation color chart that will give us a list of the shades from every brand that match our self described undertone and texture, and let us compare a few by adding more filters ("most peachy?", "least saturated?").

Ugh, I am more confused that ever! I just don't see color the way you do. I thought that light pinky shade disappeared into your skin, and that olive green matched your tanner neck. You kept saying "it obviously doesn't match" but it's not obvious to me.😢 I need professional help, apparently.

@KatieCochran Ай бұрын

Hard agree. Her tan (whether or not it was fake) didn’t match well with her face. She chose a foundation that matched her tan, but if she wasn’t tan, she’d have a cool undertone. She looks naturally rosey, perhaps a light to medium rosey color. Maybe she has more yellow in her when she is tan, but this girl isn’t olive. Sure she had some green around her mouth area for example, but everyone had tone variations in certain places. You’re seeing color just right, the woman in the video is not.

@fanpantastic711 Ай бұрын

⁠@@KatieCochranshe literally says the pink is due to external factors. We should all be matching our foundation to our neck.

@KatieCochran Ай бұрын

@@fanpantastic711 😂 Firstly, I know that. Secondly, that isn’t surface redness. That’s her actual skin tone. Redness is patchy, her’s is uniform because she is a true cool tone. Look over her face. And thirdly, necks are often unreliable. For example, mine is a golden yellow, but it’s *always* been like that. My neck does NOT match my face or body, and I’m not diabetic (I was tested several times). You want something reliable? Use a part of your skin that isn’t doused in self-tanner. Her face is her true match. The foundations she uses are too warm for her. She isn’t what she says she is. 😂 I’ve been doing makeup longer than she has, and it doesn’t take that much of a trained eye to figure that out. 🤷🏻‍♀️👋

Very pleased that you talk about olive undertones! I'm in my 40's, and a light skinned, English/Irish background, and have never found a good shade match until i was recently colour matched by a Pat McGrath MUA, who immediately said "girl, you're an olive!" It was a game changer.

Nikki, could you address “saturation “ in a video? My complexion ( span-asian, very pale, very desaturated) for example, makes it a challenge in choosing foundation, blush shades, even eyeshadow colors look brilliantly bright against my skin tone. Foundations look pep-to bismal pink, warm eyeshadow or blush looks fluorescent. I never see this issue addressed, except by Hannah Louise Poston. Anyway, great educational video, as always. ❤

I have blue veins, but cool foundations turn grey on me. I watched a great video about eye color and skin tone. I have both cool and warm tones in my eyes, blue outer ring with yellow starburst. I look better in neutral. Estée Lauder in 3N1 is my favorite. This was so helpful. I’m going to go get weird at ulta!

@Thamazgha-for-imazighen 5 күн бұрын

I'm familiar with 3N1 from Estee Lauder but honestly that shade shouldnt be labeled as a neutral...that's a peachy undertonr that leans almost pink. I've tried that one years ago looked very pink on my skintone 3W1 Tawny was better but still not the best shade since they never have olive undertones for some strange reason. Well not really a problem for me anymorr since I'm boycotting everything related to Estee Lauder nowadays anyway. But seriously a peach is not neutral weird how these brands always like to label peach as a neutral meanwhile it's actually a warm undertone
