St. Germain and Snob on me is a big no-no. Absolutely awful!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who can't rock these! I embrace my pale skin, because it does not tan. Even if I wanted to, it wouldn't. I wear spf 50, or I burn. Even self tanners turn me orange. I gave up long ago, as my skin is just not meant to be tan!

I can also wear darker colors! I love Rebel, and Venom by UD (they're very similar, but I almost prefer the UD). I look ridiculous in neon pinks though. Oranges, corals and reds work the best on me. Peach nudes are okay, usually. It's actually funny because blue/pink based reds work better than orange reds on me, but orange corals work better than pink corals.

I'm just weird, I think.

Like a month ago I was eating Ferrero Rocher (my chocolate addiction), and a piece dropped in my shirt and later me and my boyfriend were...ahem...and all of a sudden he gives me this weird look, and I look down and I have this huge brown spot on my chest from a piece of chocolate that dropped in my cleavage melting. LOL I was dying of laughter

Those babies look nice and squeezable hehe

I put stuff in my bra, my phone, lipglosses, lipsticks, ID, money, bank cards, anything i take to the club!!! They do come in handy. when i used to go to raves as a teen i would sneak anything in my friends and i wanted there hahaha!!!

Yeah, I've tried them on more than once in different lighting and they just kinda wash me out and look just plain weird on me.

St. Germain and Snob on me is a big no-no. Absolutely awful! :nono:

Likewise- generally no lipstick color is off limits to me. But those two? They are some version of 1960's Miami hell. It turns my skin color and tooth color to jaundice. I mean I do not have yellow teeth or skin but, But those colors would beg to differ. Makes me think of this:

So for those asking who can pull off cool toned pinks, well, i think i can!!!!! I do my best!!! BOOBIES!!!!!

[Kristin Bacon]

Hahaha something about mary, what was her name? Magna?

 

[IAmakeupaddict]

Kristin! You can totally rock those pale pinks. Get it girl!

 

[hippychic823]

Exactly!!! I have strong yellow undertones and those shades just make me look jaundiced they def aren't NC30-35 friendly at all...at all....

 

[staceface]

Am I the only person who doesn't know what my skin tone/undertones are?

 

[Uptownbackinit]

I can't wear Snob or SG either! My skin is very pale and i'm more in the neutral side, but yellow is def the stronger undertone. So those colors just horrible on me! @Kristin Bacon That color looks good on you!

Not at all. I'm assuming I must be NC something (never been colour matched at MAC before) because pretty much anything yellow toned looks like complete crap on me.

Look at your wrist. If your veins are blue, you're cool. If your veins are green, you're warm. If you can't tell, then you are likely neutral.

Best way to know your undertone look at your veins in your wrist. If they are more blue your are cool, if they are green you are warm if they are a combo of blue and green you are neutral.

St. Germain and Snob on me is a big no-no. Absolutely awful!

When I was younger and first starting out, Snob looked horrible on me because I used to put it Temptalia-style full and heavy swipe. But it looks a hundred times better on me once I started using a MAC 316. That brush is a life changer.

(P.S. I fully understand T puts on lipsticks full on like that for swatching purposes.)
