Olive Skin Tone

 

Do you struggle with finding the right foundation? Have you never been able to figure out your undertones? Do those normal warm-cool skin tests leave you scratching your head? If so, you might have olive undertones.

What are olive undertones?

 

If you have olive undertones, your skin may not be distinctly warm or cool. Olive undertones are green or grey, but they can lean warm, cool or neutral. There’s a misconception in the beauty world that olive skin is always tan or caramel (think Eva Mendes or Jennifer Lopez), but that’s not exactly true—you can have olive undertones with any depth of skin tone, from very pale to very deep.

What makes olive skin tone unique is its neutral green pigment (blended with hues of yellow and reds) subtly visible on the skin surface. For some ladies, these olive undertones can give their skin ashen or almost grey look.

How to tell if you have olive skin

There aren’t any hard-and-fast rules for determining if your skin is olive.

However, you may have olive undertones if you answer ‘yes’ to some of the following statements:

• You notice a green or grey tinge to your skin.

• Foundations often look too yellow, pink, or orange on your skin, even if it’s the right depth.

• Your veins aren’t distinctly green or blue.

• You look good in jewel and muted tones but not pastels.

• Light and white-based shades of lipstick tend to look “off” on you.

• You look good in both gold and silver jewelry.

• Many red lipsticks pull pink or magenta on you.

• The wrong colors make you look ashy, pasty or sickly.

On the other hand, due to its uniqueness, people face a variety of skin problems, majorly:

• Oily skin giving a greasy look

• Skin discoloration seems to be extremely problematic

• Getting tanned quickly

• Hyper-pigmentation

• Acne and pimples


Olive skincare tips

• Follow the cleansing routine (cleanse twice a day)

• Do not forget to apply an anti-oxidant serum (should be vitamin C rich)

• Always keep sunscreen with yourself

• Use chemical-free and neutral cosmetics for facial hair removal

• Keep your skin moisturized and using aloe Vera gel seems safe

• Use a Blackhead mask monthly to remove blackheads.
