00:03 Hi friends, I was not expecting that many people to resonate with me on my last video about being a lighter olive complexion and having trouble finding products. There's so much stuff going on in the world right now and I'm not using this as a distraction. So I thought I would swatch some of the products that I talked about in my last video in case you are close to my complexion and wanna see what it would actually look like. 00:48 So I'm going to do little swatches on my face so you can see what they actually look like. 1:01 Okay, first is the Kosas concealer in 3.2, I believe. 1:03 Not too much on the skin or like facial hair. 1:09 Okay, the blurring filter is off. 1:12 So that's Kosas. 1:15 A lot of these are going to look too light until I blend them. 1:19 But if I were to blend it lightly, 1:28 That's Kosas. 1:31 Yeah. 1:37 Please also keep in mind that it's winter and I'm probably two shades paler than I am in summer. 1:44 I don't know if that's relevant. 1:47 Next, I want to do 1:51 the Milani skin tint. 1:52 I'm doing the ones that are good shades first that will work. 1:57 This one, I originally got it and I was like, this is not my shade. 2:03 But I blend it out, and you see that? 2:04 It was in fact, my shade. 2:06 Let me blend it out for you. 2:07 Just a little bit. 2:12 This one does work better with your fingertips. 2:16 It literally my shade. 2:21 Let me blend out the Kosas one more. 2:25 I did not see how I blended that out initially. 2:28 It also has decent coverage. 2:29 I have some verycose veins right there. 2:30 They're very purple. 2:32 Yeah. 2:35 Next, I want to do 2:37 about face. 2:44 People were talking about the lid and because the dofa applicator, it does get stuck and it does get messy around the rim. 2:52 But honestly for the shade match, 2:54 I fear we're gonna have to make it work. 2:56 Um, okay. 2:57 That's where the end of the product was. 3:00 I'm going to go right here. 3:04 What the heck? 3:06 Let's see if it covers it though. 3:07 Initially, you'd be like, girl, not your shade. 3:12 Wrong. 3:13 Give me a second to blend it out. 3:14 And this was in L2, olive, like I said, last time. 3:20 And someone asked what shade this was. 3:21 And it's 04, light. 3:25 Remember, we're trying to match the neck. 3:30 Do you see how that instantly became the same color as my neck? 3:36 Gorgeous, 10 out of 10. 3:37 No notes. 3:38 Okay, and this was in L2 olive. 3:40 Last time. 3:42 And someone asked what shade this was. 3:43 And it's 04, light. 3:47 3:48 God, I love that foundation. 3:51 Now we're going to go on to the honorable mentions of stuff that you can make work, even though it's not an exact match per se. 3:57 I'm going to try swatching some of the products that I talked about. 4:00 I'm going to try swatching some of the products that I talked about. 4:04 Um, 4:07 I have some verycose veins right there. 4:11 And do you see how that instantly became the same color as my neck? 4:16 I'm going to try swatching some of the products that I talked about. 4:20 I have some verycose veins right there. 4:21 And do you see how that instantly became the same color as my neck? 4:26 I have some verycose veins right there. 4:31 I have some verycose veins right there. 4:33 I have some verycose veins right there. 4:38 Um, okay. 4:42 This was the perfect shade. 4:43 When I initially got it in the bottle, it looks very neutral. 4:47 And then 4:50 Um, 4:51 I fear on camera, it's not showing up as, um, warm. 4:53 Yeah. 4:54 It doesn't look as warm as it does in real life. 4:57 It's not that bad. 5:00 Okay. 5:01 I fear on camera, it's not showing up as, um, warm. 5:01 Yeah. 5:02 It doesn't look as warm as it does in real life. 5:03 It's not that bad. 5:04 I'm going to do the honorable mentions of stuff that you can make work, even though it's not an exact match per se. 5:11 Okay. 5:12 Next, I'm going to do 5:17 This one. 5:18 I can already tell. 5:20 This one definitely oxidized in the bottle. 5:21 That's why I think I should have gotten it in a lighter shade, but it's the summer shade. 5:25 Um, 5:26 next. 5:27 This is the NARS creamy pot concealer in shade light 2.3 Madeleine. 5:31 I am on honestly more mentioning it because you can make it work. 5:37 The shade will probably work for you if you are like olive. 5:45 And then 5:48 I'm on this side. 5:51 I'm on this side. 5:56 I'm on this side. 6:00 I'm on this side. 6:02 I'm on this side. 6:05 I'm on this side. 6:10 I'm on this side. 6:14 I'm on this side. 6:20 I'm on this side. 6:28 I'm on this side. 6:35 I'm on this side. 6:40 I'm on this side. 6:44 I'm on this side. 6:49 I'm on this side. 6:56 I'm on this side. 7:01 I'm on this side. 7:07 I'm on this side. 7:11 I'm on this side. 7:17 I'm on this side. 7:22 I'm on this side. 7:26 This is the NARS creamy pot concealer. 7:30 In shade light 2.3 Madeleine. 7:33 I am on 7:35 on this side. 7:38 on this side. 7:42 I'm on this side. 7:47 I'm on this side. 7:58 I'm on this side. 8:06 I'm on this side. 8:11 I'm on this side. 8:17 I'm on this side. 8:23 I'm on this side. 8:30 I'm on this side. 8:35 I'm on this side. 8:44 I'm on this side. 8:51 I'm on this side. 8:58 I'm on this side. 9:03 I'm on this side. 9:06 I'm on this side. 9:11 I'm on this side. 9:17 I'm on this side. 9:23 I'm on this side. 9:30 I'm on this side. 9:35 Thanks guys.
