Light Olive - Golden Skin Tones

Finding the right makeup and skincare routine for an olive complexion can turn into a hunting expedition. Not only we have to think about the skin tone, but also the skin undertone. You might ask how do I determine my skin undertone, considering that olive skin tone can range from pale to dark? To get some insights, follow our overview.  When your skin has a greenish-yellow tinge, combined with red or brown shades, it gives the appearance of an olive skin tone. The color of your eyes or hair doesn't determine having olive skin tone, nor does your race. Skin types can also range from oily to dry.

• Cleansing - look for a gentle gel or foam formula
• Daily moisturizing - essential unless you enjoy the ashy skin look!
• SPF - Even though having an olive skin complexion benefits from fewer sunburns, use products with SPF protection or layer a SPF after moisturizing
• Makeup - lipsticks and foundations - try colors that highlight your skin tone and undertone. A compact cheek highlighter or blush adds a touch of color to highlight your olive complexion instantly!
