Hi! Where in the world are you? In Europe we definitely have 34. However, I just looked over on the US website & it seems the shades are numbered differently! I didn’t realise. The best thing to do is to look at the shade description to find the best match 💕

@@feminineheart Hi there! So I did email Maybelline but didn’t hear anything back as yet. I’ve trawled through the shades and I think the closest match for you would be 220. This is described as ‘light medium with warm subtle olive undertones’. It actually sounds like a great option if you’re a similar shade to me! These shades are somewhat flexible, so I wouldn’t overly worry if it’s not exact. Sorry if that’s not helpful! Please do let me know how you get on and I’ll let you know if I hear back from Maybelline ☺️

Hi Carmel! The L'Oreal looks so beautiful and airbrushed on you! I remember it oxidizing when I owned it a couple years ago. I didn't love it at the time when I lived in humid, tropical Florida 🌴🏖☀but my skin is much drier now. I've been looking at the Maybelline tint and much prefer the shade range. I think the Maybelline is very skin-like on you! Both are so nice. I do agree that the L'Oreal wears into more of a skin-like finish on you but the Maybelline looks a tad more makeup-y as the day went on. Very interesting! I think I will have to try the Maybelline now.

Hi Carmel thank you for your thorough testing (I've come to expect from you 😊) of these 2 products. I haven't tried the Maybelline yet but am intrigued by the olive shades available as all previous tests I've seen have leant towards a pink toned finish (of which I'm not a fan 😬). I think I would be tempted to try this as I like a light product but prefer the coverage of the Maybelline over the L'Oreal. Having tried the L'Oreal I wasn't a fan of the oxidisation, the amount needed or the messiness, but did enjoy the serum feel of the product. Much love as always! Xx❤

I have medium-deep skin with a cool olive undertone, and the L'Oréal is one of the few drugstore foundations that have a shade that matches... So obviously I love it and I use it most days. The only things I don't like are the dropper (I bought one that works with the Estee Lauder foundation, and it helps to control the amount I pick up) and the fact that it has alcohol as one of the top ingredients. I was wondering about trying Maybelline but your review convinced me that I already have a good one 😊

@@TraXs. Hi lovely! It’s great how aware you are of your undertone. Most people believe that olive undertones are always ‘warm’, when in reality it’s such a huge spectrum! The dropper is annoying, but as you say, always a way round it. Thank you so much for sharing 😘🩷

@@CarmelNicoleBeauty it took me years of experimentation to find out that olive undertone is a spectrum in itself.

Why don't you apply it with your fingers? If you use a brush, you waste the product unnecessarily because a lot of it gets stuck in the brush. You would also have to wash the brush after every use (because of bacteria/impurities) so that it doesn't cause skin impurities over time. This is much more time-consuming than simply blending the product onto the skin with freshly washed hands. The warmth of the fingers also helps the product bond better with the skin. So I don't see any advantage to using a brush or other beauty tool.

@@Laura_Stern Hi Laura! I think it’s just personal preference really. I don’t like the feeling of using my fingers to apply makeup and I find the natural oils in my fingers can shift the product around on my face. I personally get quicker, higher and more even coverage with a brush ☺️ What works for one person doesn't always work for another, especially when it comes to makeup! When you find something that works, I say stick to it! 😊
