Favorite cool-toned lip/cheek/eye products? I am a fair olive and without diving into the depths of Reddit it’s so hard to find anything that won’t skew orange on me. 🫒

NYX Powder Blush in Taupe: Apparently this is a blush, but I use it as contour and it's my favorite. It makes a huge difference to my makeup to use cooler tones, and this is one of the few I have.

Cool-toned neutral lipstick: Mac Lustreglass in Syrup: Found this via Marisa Meltzer's newsletter and have been buying it ever since! Really nice cool-toned neutral pink shade.

Mac Lipliner in Stone: This looks so good on me (fair olive) with pretty much any lip color, or even just by itself. One of the few makeup products I own that I really love.

Rituel de Fille: Fellow fair olive Reddit lurker here, so forgive me if you’ve heard this one. I splurged on some of these recently and here’s my take:

The lip oils and lip sheers feel really good but have a rosemary fragrance that not everyone will like. I especially liked the lip sheer in Liatris, which was from a recent collab. The kohl eyeliner in Iron is also making all my teenage emo dreams come true.

I didn’t like the blush in shade Moth, which is a common reddit recommendation. It just looks too dark/shadowy on me. Next time I’d try one of the brighter shades, like Snowdrop.
