I have an olive skin tone, but very fair. My body is a bit more golden than my face. If I try to put makeup on, my face either looks too pale against my neck and arms or it looks fake. Any advice?

I have the same skin tone, and i know exactly what you mean. In stead of foundation or concealer try a moisturizer with a tint, and use just a few brushstrokes of bronzer below your cheek bones, on your jawline and a tiny bit above your brows. It provides a glow that will match the rest of your body. I use patina in nude glow, it is a facial moisturizer that leaves your skin glowing.

Bare Escentuals makes a fantastic product that works with most skin tones. It gives great coverage, and you can pick that light, med, dark.
If you're still not sure - head over to a Sephora for some help. If you don't have a Sephora locally, try a department store and hit a cosmetics counter. Clinique's reps are generally very helpful and will help you find the right color. Good luck!

I am the EXACT same way! I'm olive, but really light...so when I try to buy make-up in the fairest colors (because that's my color) it always ends up really pink, or too dark...it never truly matches. Sometimes I'd blend 2 colors together, but I wish I could find a make-up that matched perfectly. I tried bare minerals because I thought that because it was all natural, and you blended it in to match, it would work...and I guess it's worked better than anything else so far, but still not perfect. I'd suggest powder foundations like that, there's another one I got at Sephora (Urban Decay brand) that was a powder foundation too, and it's been okay so far too. So far, powder foundations have worked the best because it covers, but still doesn't cover our skin tone completely. Try the fairest colors in both first. If you find anything better, please let me know!

Your undertone can in reality be one of three issues. Yellow, pink or impartial. once you've a yellow undertone your veins on your wrist will seem eco-friendly. once you've a pink tone then they're going to seem blue. in case you cant tell then i wager you're impartial and if it quite is it you'll likely could seem at better end foundations like makeup perpetually.

Try a foundation or moisturizer with a golden or yellowish tint to it. Maybe that will help balance it out.
