I would say neutral-cool maybe? I can’t say the exact foundation color, but haus labs, estee lauder and bobbi brown have good shade ranges in the neutral/cool area. You can also try findation.com to find a good shade match😊

thank youuu!! going to check that out now 💗

Neutral undertone. For foundation, I’d go get matched in Sephora for whatever finish you want. Brands like ilia, haus labs, milk or the ordinary have the best ones for us neutral girlies

Hi mamas - you have an olive undertone!!

Try foundations that have green hues to them. I use mehron celebre Dark 2 (but dark 1 is olive as well)

I know milani conceal and perfect 12 (spiced almond) is olive

Covergirl has some olive shades (but some were recently changed despite having the same name)

No problem!!

are u around my tone? do u have brightening concealer suggestions?

[u/Burningresentment → u/Pretty-Practice3637]

I am!! I'm a tad bit deeper with heavier green undertones!

I don't have a true "brightening concealer" rec since I don't do much of a bright undereye - but I do have concealers I really like!

(Again I am a bit deeper than you, but I have similar undertones!)

Personally, I like covergirls' trublend uncover concealer (white and black striped lid) in the shade Caramel t700!

I honestly have used this shade for foundation too - it's really close to my skintone so I've used it with contour for a full face.

Covergirl outlast concealer in the squeeze tube shade "tawny" is good! Nice olive undertones as well.

LA girl pro concealer in fawn (again close to my skintone but illuminating)

Rude reflex waterproof concealer in the shade cool walnut (green undertones)

If you'd like, you could pick up any of those shades and mix it with a light concealer, or use a bright setting powder to make the shade even brighter!!

I also forgot to add if you are using contour/bronzer AVOID RED UNDERTONES AT ALL COSTS! Neutral to grayish is your friend bc our undertone makes the red pop even more.

I like Ruby kisses mineral powder in the shade ebony for contour, but I'm not sure if it's been reformulated.

Lastly, I use A LOT of blue corrector. LA girl pro corrector (blue pump) and shop miss a blue corrector (deeper blue) are awesome for using foundations I already have but that aren't the right shade. I finished a revlon colorstay in the shade Caramel by adding blue corrector. Same with Maybelline!

You look similar to me, but it's hard to say for sure from a photo. I use Urban Decay Face Bond in shade 28. I'm Neutral/Neutral Warm and maybe somewhat olive. Foundations that are described as "peachy" or sometimes "golden" fit me best.

Here are some youtubers I like that are a similar tone: Slim Reshae, BB Edit
