hello ladies, just wondering if anybody could recommend a foundation for olive skin? iv tried loads and i cant seem to find one that is right, their either too light and pinky or way to dark, any suggestion?

I also have olive skin and have experienced similar problems with foundations over the years. Ive tried loads but never really been happy with any of them. Ive recently switched to Inika Mineral Cosmetics (no 15) and I love it! Its the best foundation Ive ever used.

Hi,

Have you tried going to a big department store and visiting some of the beauty counters? The girls there are usually happy to help.

I would suggest that you dab some different foundations in a line over your jaw, starting at the bottom of your cheek and stopping at the top of your neck (if that makes sense). Blend in and then go outside (this is so important) and have a look in a mirror in natural daylight.

I have bought foundation which looked perfect in the shop and then looked completely wrong in natural light many times.

HTH

Jo
