here's the thing with olive skin...you're tan after 5 minutes under the sun in summer, and become snow white in the winter. it's so hard to find shades that are consistent through all seasons...
I also tan easily and my tip is get one that is as light as you are in winter and one that is as dark as you are in summer and then just mix them inbetween, that works rlly well for me :)
Unfortunately I have never even seen a drugstore brand that carries olive toned foundation and concealer. But the DIOR Backstage line and Rare beauty both have olive toned foundation and concealer. Rare beauty prices are actually not that bad. I mix a light yellow concealer with the olive toned concealer with these to lighten them a bit for the winter months.
For anyone struggling to to find their shade, you could buy a green color corrector and mix a tiny bit into your foundation! A trick by one of professional makeup artists who did my makeup :)
I learned this last year from an Alexandra Anele video and it is life changing! She recommended the Nyx one and I’m pleased to say it doesn’t break out my acne-prone skin. :)
Would you mix this into a neutral or warm-toned foundation, or would that work regardless just to give it a green base? (I know that everyone's skin tone will require different mixing.)
So my art teacher in year 7 told me my skin colour was olive, and I hated it because I thought she was telling everyone that I was green, man should I have listened to her.
Everything makes sense now. Actually, I rarely use foundation or concealer. Only on special occasions. I always thought that my undertone was neutral but whatever neutral shade I tried, it always looked too peachy on me. Warm was too yellow and cold was too pinkish. I might be olive. I need to test it out immediately. Thank you so much ❤️ Actually, I should have known because of my heritage. 🙈 Mediterranean people are often described as having olive skin. Both gold and silver jewellery doesn’t look bad on me but gold looks better. I‘m also light but tan very easily. Comparing my pictures with the celebrity pictures, my skintone is very similar to Teni Panosian.
I suspect I do cause i’ve always seen myself as neutral but I’m not sure yet.... but now after seeing the colors you recommended....yea I think so. My favorite color on me is like a really burnt orangey/peach color.
I’m a very pale olive, I went for a foundation match telling the artist that I’m olive and just need a foundation that will match me since it’s difficult. She told me that “you can’t be pale and have olive skin, if you’re olive then you’re going to be tanned” 🙄 needless to say, not many companies make olive foundation tones for pale skin
yeah :/ im also very pale and I think I lean more towards the olive side than the neutral one. the only way for me to not look awful wearing foundation is to wear a really really sheer one like makeup forever waterblend since it won't totally cover my skintone
Same! Weirdly I can use this very pale green correcting pen as concealer mixed with a tiny amount of normal warm tone pale makeup and it matches my neck exactly which is slightly terrifying.
Nothing can describe better my ENTIRE journey to find my foundation shade than “when I tried warmer shades it was too yellow and cooler shades it was too pink”. God, I relate to this so much
@@nopipapadopoulou3633 that's because people are used to seeing you with makeup on. I'm olive skinned and never wear makeup - nobody has ever said I look sick. And I am green. Even non- olive people who wear makeup are told they look sick when they don't wear it
@@hsnrb9959 Ya exactly what I was thinking lol. Make up is nice, but it does cover up a lot of your ‘imperfections’ so if your wearing make up on the daily and you suddenly stop, people aren’t used to your face not having a perfectly even skin tone and may think u look sick
Okay, this is life changing! I always assumed that because I’m (Southeast) Asian and on the paler side that I’m yellow/golden/warm and yet I continually struggled to find a foundation/concealer that looks natural. The veins in my wrist are mostly blue but also green. Watching this video was a total Eureka moment. Thank you!
I"m a Southeast Asian and I really struggle to find the right tone of base make up since most of it would make my skin look either dull or too bright, so I mostly just go with tinted moisturizer. I have been wondering whether instead of my usual beige foundation, I'm more of an olive undertone, but then I found this video and it convinced me; yup, I have olive skin! Your explanation on how coral compliments olive skin tone convinced me more because coral and muted pink are my go-to colors! Thank you, Haley!
Same here. Have spent so much money in the past buying the newest foundation, bb creams etc. After years of being colour matched to golden-based foundations (just because I’m Asian) that oxidises even more on my skin, and always ends up looking terrible. I’ve come to the conclusion that my skin tone is neutral (I have both green and blue veins, which is a strong sign) and things that work for me are anything that is a neutral beige tone. I just tend to stick to concealers and translucent powders now so my natural skin tone shines through.
I just figured out that I have an olive undertone and my skin looks brown/yellow/ grey some days. A separate video about the foundations and concealers for olive undertones would be much appreciated 🥰
Hi, I'm I'm neutral olive. In case you don't want to spend money on new foundations I highly recommend mixing a green concealer/corrector to your base before applying. It works perfect for me! This way I can use up my old foundation and still look matched :)
Girl same I literally just learned that I am an olive skinned gal, not a warm skinned gal 😂 I finally realized why "warm" toned makeup doesn't work with me lol
I think this might be me...I always struggled to figure out the whole cool or warm thing and then I landed on neutral but now I come to find you can be an olive neutral. I think a lot of mixed women such as myself have this obstacle of figuring out their skin undertone.
Submit a photo (if you want of course) to Reddit’s OliveMua It’s basically a support group for olives. Foundation suggestions hair color, makeup colors that look best. What kind of olive undertone you might be because there are more muted grayish or golden etc... A lot of olives are more golden in the summer because of the change in overtone and gray in the winter. 🧟♀️
Red lips and Bob cut is just your thing you look so gorgeous with it. Y'all I'm gonna cut my 42 inches hair to shoulder length wish me luck! Edit: I got my hair cut omg I look so pretty 😭
@@kinuchiha I have thick hair and my hairdresser told me that thinning it out would be a bad idea for me because it would make my hair sit not as nice (I had previously requested other hairdressers to thin my hair when cutting it into a bob) and she was right, my hair sat way nicer when I left it thick in a shoulder length bob. So I would recommend seeing how the hair sits first because it can be a better idea to leave it thick
If you are a light olive tone, Koh Gen Do Aqua foundation-#213 is a great light olive foundation. I have backups of that because I don’t want to spend years looking for another foundation
holy crap! i think as an asian, i just went my whole adult life thinking i was warm because most foundations made my face look too pink. but i kept wondering my warm toned foundation/bb cream made me look orange...this is such an eye opener! now i need olive toned foundation and bb cream recommendations!
I recently found that I might be a olive tone. I always felt that everything was a little too pink or too orange on my skin and it wasnt until I decided to add a green corrector to my concealer (to try and cover some acne) that I realize I had accidentally made my perfect match! Hailey, your previous video (on finding your foundation shade) was a eureka moment for me! Thanks! ❤
I am completely olive and always felt “sick” compared to my non olive friends... my undertone is super greenish and grey in winter and immediately become golden and dark in summer, but more like coffee than chocolate. Thank you for making this video!!! About the color recommendations for make up, I don’t really like peach and light blue/green colors on my since they make my “sick yellow” more prominent... I prefer warmer colors to pop out some warmness and “life” on my skin such as red, brown and orangey
Hi! Oh my goodness, its winter in the UK now and over the last month I was so worried why my skin looks so green. I have olive skintone! could you tell me the reason it looks green and if its permanent, any way to fix it ?
Omg FINALLY a video about olive undertone I'd really appreciate it if you made a sperate video about olive undertoned foundations (high end & drugstore)
I have light skin with olive undertones and the best match i found so far are Revlon Colorstay 24hs in shade 180 and the Candid one in the shade 220. Hope it helps! 😊
What made a huge difference for me was mixing a green primer with slightly yellow foundation (as I have more yellow overtones). I like the "L.A. Girl Pro Prep HD Color Correcting Face Primer". Another comment also recommended the "Catrice Prime and Fine Anti-Red Primer." Should help a lot! (:
I'm a neutral warm olive as well, but slightly lighter than you. I didn't figure it out earlier so I didn't wear makeup for most of my life. Now in my late 30s and with help from creators like you, I've figured out why I've always had a difficult time with makeup. I always looked too peachy or grayish. So I just want to say thanks for content like this that truly delve into rarer skin undertones. Most just stops at saying "there are 4 undertones" and expects us to magically have the training to figure out where we match. So thanks!!
In my 30 years of life, i always confused because i thought i have warm neutral undertone but berry-red lipstick always looks flattering on my skin. turns out i have olive undertone! thanks for the info haley!
I just realised that i chose foundations that cancel the olive tones in my skin because i thought it made me look 'sick'- and then end up with an orange face and a neck/chest that looked neutral in comparison. I have a whole new vision for my makeup after this video, thank you!!
it took me so long to realize i’m olive lol. 🫒 mostly because no one carried olive shades! i actually have a bit of surface redness though so people sometimes think i’m cool toned until they look at my arms/neck!
My olive undertone has been the hardest puzzle to crack.... I am only now coming into a general realization that I am indeed of olive complexion and what that means in regards to makeup. I have found that using a green correcting primer or concealer and mixing it into foundation can help tremendously as us olive girls tend to get left out of most shade ranges.
I always thought I had warm undertones but when I’d use a warm foundation it would be too orange, but I knew I did not have cool undertones. This was super helpful! I now know I’m olive with a bit of warm. Thank you!
I’m a light-medium olive tone 😭 I’ve struggled with that problem my whole teenage and adult life, foundations always being too pink or orange, I always thought they were just oxidizing on me! I finally tried a neutral foundation the other day and it’s the closest match I’ve gotten but it’s still slightly too gray. Gonna try mixing a green color corrector with it.
oh my god PLEASE. PLEASE PLEASE MAKE THE FOUNDATION AND CONCEALER REC LIST FOR OLIVE UNDERTONES. HELP A GIRL OUT I COME OUT OF SEPHORA WITH SO MUCH SADNESS AND FRUSTRATION EVERY TIME
A life-saver for me has been buying a slightly yellow foundation (as I have more yellow overtones) and mixing green primer with it. I use the "L.A. Girl Pro Prep HD Color Correcting Face Primer". Another comment also recommended the "Catrice Prime and Fine Anti-Red Primer." Should help a lot! (:
As a olive medium/medium light gal another types of blushes that can look good on us is orangy,red, coral tones. In fact that my prefer colour of blush.
That also depends whether you’re a cool/warm olive. I’m a cool-toned olive and coral make up makes me look like I’ve got spaghetti sauce all over my face LMAO 🥲 For cooler olive skin tone I recommend slightly muted, rosy pinkish colours. They look natural on my face at least 😁
what i love about her videos is, that she doesn't edit perfection on her face. She makes it clear that, makeup will ALWAYS look like makeup and not like skin. Thankyou for this!
YES me too! I swear that everytime I went on a holiday in a hot country then come back home I look abit...."grey" or dark-ish grey and people thought I was going crazy haha
Well now I finally understand why I always felt green and gray! I found mixing a bit of green color into my foundation helps make it match a bit better, perhaps that neutralizes things, but the match is better than otherwise. I always go for a neutral foundation color too, I think that's almost always our only option
This is roughly what I do now too. Neutral concealer and translucent powder. On no make-up days, I wear an SPF moisturiser with a green tint so I don’t look too blotchy. I’m not big on blush and eyeshadow colours, but soft wash natural colours and tints (like watercolours, I guess) tend to look the best on my particular skin.
Hi! Oh my goodness, its winter in the UK now and over the last month I was so worried why my skin looks so green. I have olive skintone! could you tell me the reason it looks green and if its permanent, any way to fix it ?
This is super helpful! I'd love to see more olive themed videos. 🖤 Alexandra Anele has very fair olive skin and makes a lot of helpful videos for another reference.
If you're in the olive neutral light side you're gonna love the Missha perfect cover bb cream NO.23 like it looks gray in first plays but sets beautifully and the formula is my favourite one. Literally for olive tones I will go with Asian make-up brands but really hate that there isn't a big shade range :(
Hi Haley! I don't usually comment on videos but this was immensely helpful. You really opened my eyes as to why literally no foundation/tinted moisturizer was working well on me! Now I'm begging please make the foundation video and if you could include tinted moisturizer/sunscreen recommendations for people who prefer lightweight options such as myself, that would be incredible!!! Keep up the great work :)
I've been living this since 14. (I'm 41 now). Always used neutrals bc it was the closest. Finally, more people are becoming aware of this! I'm white as a sheet in the winter and tan without burning in the summer. If I was feeling unwell my mother would always comment that I looked "green".
Hi Haley I’d love to see a video about foundation and concealer recommendations for olive undertones 💖💖💖 I have olive tones but I’ve never been able to find the right product, I always end up looking pink and then I just add the colour back to my face with a bronzer. But then when I go into different lighting I’m self conscious because I think my skin gets a weird look 🥲🥲 Thanks for this video i really enjoyed it, and the makeup recommendations at the end were great too ☺️☺️
Thank you for mentioning that an individual’s overtones change depending on sun exposure! that changed my whole perspective on skin tones For years I have wondered why in the winter I turn a greyish yellow, and I traditionally fit in the “cool colour” spectrum. Meaning cooler colours and sliver look best on me. But then in the summer, I get a little darker and I feel as though I change to a warmer colour spectrum. all the sudden gold looks better and warmer colours bring me to life. My veins are a mix of purple and green, and that has confused me a lot. I have always been very confused about what my skin is….
Your summer/winter experience (as well as veins) describe me! Stupidly enough, I got a tattoo when I was eighteen, right atop my veins, so I can only refer to the veins on my one untattooed hand...
Please do make more vids on olive undertones! I only realized I had olive skin a few months ago which makes sense. Your vids has been really helpful especially for lighter skintones since i'd usually see brown to dark women giving tips on olive undertone more. I hope you could do foundation & concealer recommendation for light-medium skintones 🙏
The only brand I've found to specifically cater towards olive skin tones is EX1- I discovered them last year and it felt amazing to finally find a shade that actually matched my undertone. For so many years, all the concealers I wore (I don't wear foundation) were usually too pink so it looked like I had pink rashes on my skin. I think the founder put it best when she said that, you can have 100 shades, but if the undertones aren't right, they're not going to match.
The opening statement really hit the nail in the head. Only recently I started using neutral undertone product, and like you said it's a slight bit too peachy on my skin. I was quite okay with that because it's the closest one I've ever get but thanks for reminding me that this undertone exist! I hope you can give foundation/concealer recommendation with different price range next time!
The struggle is real! Especially if you're light or light-medium olive. A lot of times, cosmetic companies even have any olive shades, it's usually med or med tan.
Thank you so much - been searching for a video like this for so long! Like you, I really struggled finding foundation until I realized I had an olive undertone. Then, the next struggle was finding flattering blush/bronzer/lipstick shades. It's still something I'm struggling with, so I appreciate your video and would love if you decided to make another video expanding on your product recommendations!!
@@kinuchiha Thank you for mentioning them ✨ Unfortunately it's kinda hard to get my hands on them in my country, and it's more easy to find Korean brands here so hopefully Haley will come out with (at least one) Korean brand 🥺
@@kinuchiha Ikr, they always come out with cool or pink undertone 😭 Once they make the warm shade it can be too yellowish for me. I've never heard of that brand but sounds interesting. If it's available here I'll take a look :D
I just learnt that I have olive undertone!! Now I understand why my PE teacher diagnosed me with anemia because I "look sick" without makeup, why I get tanned soo fast, why my face would look grey or green in some pictures and why i look amazing in navy blue, maroon, peach and dark green and weird in pastel colours :') Thank you so much for this video!
Let me let you guys in on this foundation that i have loved for a long time and even makes the matching concealers. They nail ALL olive tones. Im talking from blue green to warm green they got us. Beauty Blender especially made their foundation lines to target medium skin tones but along the way set the standard for categorizing olive undertones! Ive never had a foundation literally blend into my skins undertone until i tried this foundation. give it a go i highly recommend
I'm on the lighter olive neutral side, I recommend rare beauty foundation 170, it's the best match I've found 🙌🏻 I recommend that or 180!! loreal infallible linen is okay too! thank you for this vid!!
Thank you for this, it was a revelation!!!! Would appreciate recs for concealers especially, neutralizing the grayness in olive skin tones from hyperpigmentation
I have olive undertones and Haley recommends alot of warm products for olives - but because there are warm and cool olives, as a cool olive, colors that usually work on people with cool blue/pink undertones work best on me (blue, purple, pink, silver, green, etc.) and colors that look good on warm people don’t suit me (orange, gold, yellow, bronze, copper, etc.) If you feel like you’re a cool olive, cool colors rather than warm orange colors like ABH Soft Glam may suit you more!
Thank you thank you thank you !!!! I have been looking for a foundation I like with no success!!! I have been looking for over 30years with no success. I finally go check to see if I am olive. The foundation that totally disappeared on my face is Neutral - warm olive. This foundation. is not too pink, yellow or orange on my skin!!! So happy!!! Thank you!!
I have light olive skin. I really don't think redish/orangey eyeshadows look good on me. I usually go for cool/neutral eyeshadow looks, rarely anything that's warm (and soooo prevalent in most releases 😩).
When I go to stores, employees always choose warm foundations for me, but they always look too yellow on me. But then cooler shades always look too gray :( I might have to look into finding olive tone base products. Thanks so much for this video, so informational as usual!
This is the video I have wanted to see for so long! I have between warm and neutral olive toned skin as well and finding concealer/foundation matches has been a struggle. Would love to see a video highlighting the brands you use!
“you might look sick when not wearing makeup “ litterally me. if i look at myself in thr mirror in any season that isn’t summer, i litterally look green all of the time and people notice it. it dosnt help that i live in a cold area so i also have a vitamin D diffencency, so it can get really bad. and it dosnt help that my skin can get quite dark in thr summer and i like how that looks more than when i pale out in the winter, so them people would be like, “hey your looking sickly”, or , “you’ve been looking really pale lately” and i hate it so much oh my gosh. they just don’t realize that i’m really self conscious about it.😅
*if you're olive, does that automatically mean you can tan easily? I think I may be slightly olive (but more on the pale side)* if I haven't been out in the sun for a while, I need to tan for a while to start getting darker, but once I get the base, I tan normally. I get hyperpigmentation easily, I'm oily, I've always had trouble finding the right foundation shade. I've always said I was neutral-leaning-warm since neutral is a little too beige/grey for me but warm is too yellow/orange. and when I look at my neck under the sun (but not in direct sunlight), I have a slight green-tinge to it
Totally relate it's the same with me , same skin type and same issues ! Still finding the right shades but so far I've found bb cream is the best option and one shade darker warm shade concealer under my eyes , sometimes I try to use a green corrector and mix it in my yellower foundations but the right ratio is too hard to make every time let me know what works for u!
Such a breath of fresh air, thank you for touching on this theme. Please do make the follow-up video with your recommendations of foundation and concelear for olive undertones. In a world where we are so overwhelmed by choice it is so stressful to filter out and make informed decisions. 💕
This has to be the most comprehensive and detailed info on this topic. It’s such a shame that in this day and age most make up assistants will still match you up to a warm based foundation and still have no education or knowledge on olive skin tones. Thank you for this very enlightening video!
This video is perfect! Whenever a saleslady help me with foundation. The color matches but not the tone so people always say the foundation is too white! Please do concealer and foundation recommendations too! Thank you so much!
i have light olive skin on the grayer sider, and the amount of times people ask me if i'm okay because i look sick/dead/tired when i don't wear makeup...😭
@@AB-ez1eh honestly, i tend to just wear warmer foundations and blend them down my neck to make it look like it matches lmao, so i havne't shopped around much. but the closest match i've found so far is dr. jarts BB cream in the color light-medium! it's on the neutral side and i think it blends in with my skin tone more since it's a lighter coverage. BUT alexandra anele's beauty channel is awesome for us because she has fair olive skin too, so i'd def recommend watching her videos!
Thank you so much for this video. Last year when I watched this, it made me really think. It answers many of my questions. I realised after a lot of trial and error that I’m a warm olive undertone. The fenty 290, although a neutral olive, is a good match. For me, the problem is most foundations are not yellow enough, i.e. more peachy or red when warm, or more pink when neutral. I am in between light and medium in most foundations or a medium at most. I can see the hint of green in my yellow undertone but again something used to always feel off. Now I always check Reddit before getting any foundation. Or take my foundation to the store to see if the undertones are similar.
Haley, you should do a video on blushes! Picking a blush that is nuanced is soo difficult. I either look more yellow-green (with red tone blushes), gray-green (with warm berry/lavender blushes), or muddy/dirty (with peachy-orange blushes)... 😔
this is very helpful.I have the same problem too, as someone who is a "tanned" asian! thank you for sharing this :)) plus the way you explained it was super easy to understand ^__^
My mom told me I was olive since u was a child, but when I grew up I always came across beauty articles that described olive as a tanned tone like southern mediterranean people. So I dropped the conception. Thanks for clearing that up! It's similar to the confusion about body types until a RUclipsr showed the differences for each type depending if its overweight or underweight
Thank you SO much for this video 🤍 I have struggled finding what undertone I have my entire life!! I settled for neutral skintone products but wondered why my foundation wasnt a perfect match.. and thank you for recommendating exact products and their shade names you are a life saver!!
Me too. Warm toned foundation always looked too yellow, and cool toned foundation made me look a bit grayish and sallow. So I settled on neutral. Now I do find that for me, a lot of neutral toned foundations do work out well enough. But now knowing that my undertone is actually olive, I'm on the hunt again. Recently bought Smashbox studio skin hydrating foundation in 1.05, which has an olive undertone, and the match is great! Not sure if I absolutely love that foundation, but the color is spot on.
I’m training to be a personal color consultant. Olive 🫒 skin is apart of warm tones of course. Yellowish green is definitely very warm. It’s just that there are different kind of warm colors. To be exact, 1. Yellow / Warm undertone (a) Very fair skin = Ivory (b) Medium to darker skin = Olive 2. Pink/cool undertone Only lighter skin 3. Greyish, Ashy undertone Vary from very light to deep “Neutral” does exist but it’s not about your skin color. It’s neutral colors (lip, blusher, eye makeup, clothes) that you have to use. Because not everyone is sensitive to warm and cool. So they can use somewhat in between colors.
Okay this is very incorrect , olive can range for very light to dark . Olive is the hue of skin and undertone , anyone from cool or warm can be olive . Makeup artist and beauty community has such misinformation about olive skin . I can tell you go to a beauty school or have been learning from makeup artist that don’t know anything about olive skin tone or only learned what has been told to them .Yellow greenish can be both warm or cool , depends where it leans on . Yellow it self can be warm or cool like she showed on this video . If want to test it out get a bunch of mixers and you’ll see how different is each olive skin tone . This is why olive skin tone is still such a problem . The surface of your skin is different from your undertone and combining both makes different skin tones . Neutral does exist in skin tone because it’s in the middle of the spectrum . There’s people who either have balance of both tones or don’t lean towards neither because once again it’s in the middle of the spectrum . Look at some color wheels and some color charts and your body color charts too .
Olive undertone here! Neutral still looks paler on me TT and I look sick without makeup too always so difficult to find a right shade of foundation, would love if you post another vid about foundation 🤩🤩
here's the thing with olive skin...you're tan after 5 minutes under the sun in summer, and become snow white in the winter. it's so hard to find shades that are consistent through all seasons...
I also tan easily and my tip is get one that is as light as you are in winter and one that is as dark as you are in summer and then just mix them inbetween, that works rlly well for me :)
SO true!!!
White skin with green dark circles😀😳
@@plasticfrog4533 this!
I like the nyx dropcontroll since i can be very precise.
March? Two drops winter, one drop summer etc.
Unfortunately I have never even seen a drugstore brand that carries olive toned foundation and concealer. But the DIOR Backstage line and Rare beauty both have olive toned foundation and concealer. Rare beauty prices are actually not that bad. I mix a light yellow concealer with the olive toned concealer with these to lighten them a bit for the winter months.
For anyone struggling to to find their shade, you could buy a green color corrector and mix a tiny bit into your foundation! A trick by one of professional makeup artists who did my makeup :)
Yes!!! I've started doing this a few years ago. Dread to think what my face used to look like with all the different foundations I had used. 😩
Which one do you use and recommend?
I learned this last year from an Alexandra Anele video and it is life changing! She recommended the Nyx one and I’m pleased to say it doesn’t break out my acne-prone skin. :)
Thanks! I will be looking for that. Golden undertones are the closest for me but still not “it”. I’ll try this. Thanks!
Would you mix this into a neutral or warm-toned foundation, or would that work regardless just to give it a green base? (I know that everyone's skin tone will require different mixing.)
So my art teacher in year 7 told me my skin colour was olive, and I hated it because I thought she was telling everyone that I was green, man should I have listened to her.
LOL!!! Why was this so funny 😂😂
Do you think you look like hulk when your teacher said that? 🤣
wow me to and i was in grade 7 aswell it helps me so much now that i’m in 8th grade i was so offended though
It's not easy being green
😂😂 plsss
We need to band together to create a whole olive skin tone makeup brand 😭
Wb Jessica alba honest beauty ?
@@ingridsmith6120 I’m going to check it out. Thanks!
I hope in future there will be brand a for warm olive,cool olive and neutral olive skin makeup products....wish😣
I wish I had the funds ugh .. I think it would be so successful since so many of us are suffering 😩
Ex1 also has good shades
Do you think you have olive skin too?🤪
I am still trying to figure it out. Your videos help me a lot 😁
Everything makes sense now. Actually, I rarely use foundation or concealer. Only on special occasions. I always thought that my undertone was neutral but whatever neutral shade I tried, it always looked too peachy on me. Warm was too yellow and cold was too pinkish. I might be olive. I need to test it out immediately. Thank you so much ❤️ Actually, I should have known because of my heritage. 🙈 Mediterranean people are often described as having olive skin. Both gold and silver jewellery doesn’t look bad on me but gold looks better. I‘m also light but tan very easily. Comparing my pictures with the celebrity pictures, my skintone is very similar to Teni Panosian.
Nope .......😳
Please give references on foundation and concealer that suits olive skintone ✨😊
I suspect I do cause i’ve always seen myself as neutral but I’m not sure yet.... but now after seeing the colors you recommended....yea I think so. My favorite color on me is like a really burnt orangey/peach color.
I’m a very pale olive, I went for a foundation match telling the artist that I’m olive and just need a foundation that will match me since it’s difficult. She told me that “you can’t be pale and have olive skin, if you’re olive then you’re going to be tanned” 🙄 needless to say, not many companies make olive foundation tones for pale skin
yeah :/ im also very pale and I think I lean more towards the olive side than the neutral one. the only way for me to not look awful wearing foundation is to wear a really really sheer one like makeup forever waterblend since it won't totally cover my skintone
@@LauraLaura-mv4xh so true! I’ve given up on medium and full coverage foundation. I’m def gonna look into that makeup forever one!
Same! Weirdly I can use this very pale green correcting pen as concealer mixed with a tiny amount of normal warm tone pale makeup and it matches my neck exactly which is slightly terrifying.
I'm olive and tanned too
@Lc Marina Yeah, companies forget that there's more olive skin tones than Mediterranean people 😭
Nothing can describe better my ENTIRE journey to find my foundation shade than “when I tried warmer shades it was too yellow and cooler shades it was too pink”. God, I relate to this so much
YES
Same!
"you might look kind of sick when you don't wear make up"
yes, yes that is me.
OMG yes!! Everytime I don't ware makeup everyone thinks I'm sick!
True. And then when you want to buy make up the options are limited because most make up companies only see warm, cool, neutral
@@nopipapadopoulou3633 that's because people are used to seeing you with makeup on. I'm olive skinned and never wear makeup - nobody has ever said I look sick. And I am green. Even non- olive people who wear makeup are told they look sick when they don't wear it
@@hsnrb9959 that is a point. I'm going to make an experiment... don't wear make up for a while to see what people will then say😂
@@hsnrb9959 Ya exactly what I was thinking lol. Make up is nice, but it does cover up a lot of your ‘imperfections’ so if your wearing make up on the daily and you suddenly stop, people aren’t used to your face not having a perfectly even skin tone and may think u look sick
Okay, this is life changing!
I always assumed that because I’m (Southeast) Asian and on the paler side that I’m yellow/golden/warm and yet I continually struggled to find a foundation/concealer that looks natural. The veins in my wrist are mostly blue but also green. Watching this video was a total Eureka moment. Thank you!
SAMEEE
OMG SAME MY VEINS ARE BOTH COLOURS IT WAS SO CONFUSING FOR SO LONG
I"m a Southeast Asian and I really struggle to find the right tone of base make up since most of it would make my skin look either dull or too bright, so I mostly just go with tinted moisturizer. I have been wondering whether instead of my usual beige foundation, I'm more of an olive undertone, but then I found this video and it convinced me; yup, I have olive skin! Your explanation on how coral compliments olive skin tone convinced me more because coral and muted pink are my go-to colors! Thank you, Haley!
Same i think it's so common in southeast asians and i never realised it!!
Huhuu I feel u!
Same here. Have spent so much money in the past buying the newest foundation, bb creams etc. After years of being colour matched to golden-based foundations (just because I’m Asian) that oxidises even more on my skin, and always ends up looking terrible. I’ve come to the conclusion that my skin tone is neutral (I have both green and blue veins, which is a strong sign) and things that work for me are anything that is a neutral beige tone. I just tend to stick to concealers and translucent powders now so my natural skin tone shines through.
@@mizpah1993 Love how it just ends ul makeing us wear less makeup in general, a blessing in disguise 🤣❤
Ternyata selama ini aku ga sendiri 😭 mau pake produk muka apapun, ga ada yang bener2 cocok sama warna undertoneku. Eh ternyata aku olive undertone😭
I just figured out that I have an olive undertone and my skin looks brown/yellow/ grey some days. A separate video about the foundations and concealers for olive undertones would be much appreciated 🥰
Hi, I'm I'm neutral olive. In case you don't want to spend money on new foundations I highly recommend mixing a green concealer/corrector to your base before applying. It works perfect for me! This way I can use up my old foundation and still look matched :)
What foundation and concealer brands and colors have you tried and work great on you?
Girl same I literally just learned that I am an olive skinned gal, not a warm skinned gal 😂 I finally realized why "warm" toned makeup doesn't work with me lol
I think this might be me...I always struggled to figure out the whole cool or warm thing and then I landed on neutral but now I come to find you can be an olive neutral. I think a lot of mixed women such as myself have this obstacle of figuring out their skin undertone.
Submit a photo (if you want of course) to Reddit’s OliveMua It’s basically a support group for olives. Foundation suggestions hair color, makeup colors that look best. What kind of olive undertone you might be because there are more muted grayish or golden etc... A lot of olives are more golden in the summer because of the change in overtone and gray in the winter. 🧟♀️
@@TracyD2 yes!!!
Yep!! I'm mixed with white and arab, very pale yet my torso, neck, and back look kinda light golden olive and its very confusing
same here. question though, do most latinos usually have olive skin? (just asking since i am latino myself and olive, most of my family too)
@@myfarts same
I’ve always thought I had a warm undertone with “burnt yellowness” but this video has convinced me I have olive undertones!
Red lips and Bob cut is just your thing you look so gorgeous with it. Y'all I'm gonna cut my 42 inches hair to shoulder length wish me luck!
Edit: I got my hair cut omg I look so pretty 😭
I chopped my waist length hair to my shoulders last week and omg I love it!!! Don’t forget to get it thinned out if you have thick hair too!! ❤️
Good luck!! But do think of donating the hair you cut off.. 😊
@@kinuchiha I have thick hair and my hairdresser told me that thinning it out would be a bad idea for me because it would make my hair sit not as nice (I had previously requested other hairdressers to thin my hair when cutting it into a bob) and she was right, my hair sat way nicer when I left it thick in a shoulder length bob. So I would recommend seeing how the hair sits first because it can be a better idea to leave it thick
@@eggegg8181 yeah that’s true! Personal preference for sure!
@@kinuchiha my excessive hairfall made my hair so thin so that's why I got cut. Ps: congratulations gorgeous you got guts❤️
Yess please make a foundation and concealer recommendation for olive undertone! :) I have yet to find one that matches perfectly
I mix my foundation with a bit of green concealer on the back of my hand before applying- it really does the trick for me! :) can save money this way
@@honk42069 ooh where do you get your green concealer from ?
@@jessjms1181 LA girl color corrector is a good idea ,i think
Try nars or loreal
If you are a light olive tone, Koh Gen Do Aqua foundation-#213 is a great light olive foundation. I have backups of that because I don’t want to spend years looking for another foundation
holy crap! i think as an asian, i just went my whole adult life thinking i was warm because most foundations made my face look too pink. but i kept wondering my warm toned foundation/bb cream made me look orange...this is such an eye opener! now i need olive toned foundation and bb cream recommendations!
I recently found that I might be a olive tone. I always felt that everything was a little too pink or too orange on my skin and it wasnt until I decided to add a green corrector to my concealer (to try and cover some acne) that I realize I had accidentally made my perfect match! Hailey, your previous video (on finding your foundation shade) was a eureka moment for me! Thanks! ❤
I am completely olive and always felt “sick” compared to my non olive friends... my undertone is super greenish and grey in winter and immediately become golden and dark in summer, but more like coffee than chocolate. Thank you for making this video!!! About the color recommendations for make up, I don’t really like peach and light blue/green colors on my since they make my “sick yellow” more prominent... I prefer warmer colors to pop out some warmness and “life” on my skin such as red, brown and orangey
Hi! Oh my goodness, its winter in the UK now and over the last month I was so worried why my skin looks so green. I have olive skintone! could you tell me the reason it looks green and if its permanent, any way to fix it ?
Oh my god that's me, I feel so understood 🐣
Orange, peachy, red color lipsticks are my go to!🥰
Omg FINALLY a video about olive undertone I'd really appreciate it if you made a sperate video about olive undertoned foundations (high end & drugstore)
I have light skin with olive undertones and the best match i found so far are Revlon Colorstay 24hs in shade 180 and the Candid one in the shade 220. Hope it helps! 😊
@@Mgz93 thank you so much imma try it out
What made a huge difference for me was mixing a green primer with slightly yellow foundation (as I have more yellow overtones). I like the "L.A. Girl Pro Prep HD Color Correcting Face Primer". Another comment also recommended the "Catrice Prime and Fine Anti-Red Primer." Should help a lot! (:
@@ThatsSoKayPop thank you a lot
I'm a neutral warm olive as well, but slightly lighter than you. I didn't figure it out earlier so I didn't wear makeup for most of my life. Now in my late 30s and with help from creators like you, I've figured out why I've always had a difficult time with makeup. I always looked too peachy or grayish. So I just want to say thanks for content like this that truly delve into rarer skin undertones. Most just stops at saying "there are 4 undertones" and expects us to magically have the training to figure out where we match. So thanks!!
In my 30 years of life, i always confused because i thought i have warm neutral undertone but berry-red lipstick always looks flattering on my skin. turns out i have olive undertone! thanks for the info haley!
Yes! Same. My skin is fair-yellow and both warm and cool toned foundation just dont look right, but berry lip colors suit me best.
@@ceetracey I've never thought of it like that before. This might be why I'm drawn to berry lip colors too.
Berry red is very pretty and universal
I just realised that i chose foundations that cancel the olive tones in my skin because i thought it made me look 'sick'- and then end up with an orange face and a neck/chest that looked neutral in comparison. I have a whole new vision for my makeup after this video, thank you!!
It always hard to tell your skin tone when you’re in the mid range cause lighting can really change how it looks :(
Trueee, it's really very difficult huhu 😥
The best way is using the Sunlight ;)
Having olive undertone myself I loooooved so much this video, I'd be very thankful if you continue these series💚.
(The quality is 👌)
I am so glad to hear! Thank you 💚
it took me so long to realize i’m olive lol. 🫒 mostly because no one carried olive shades! i actually have a bit of surface redness though so people sometimes think i’m cool toned until they look at my arms/neck!
I've had that issue too!
I'm also olive but have a bit of redness on my cheeks so for years I thought I was cool toned until I noticed how green my arms and neck area is...
@@ruthlessxo99 This explains my whole skin journey wow
My olive undertone has been the hardest puzzle to crack.... I am only now coming into a general realization that I am indeed of olive complexion and what that means in regards to makeup. I have found that using a green correcting primer or concealer and mixing it into foundation can help tremendously as us olive girls tend to get left out of most shade ranges.
I always thought I had warm undertones but when I’d use a warm foundation it would be too orange, but I knew I did not have cool undertones. This was super helpful! I now know I’m olive with a bit of warm. Thank you!
I’m a light-medium olive tone 😭 I’ve struggled with that problem my whole teenage and adult life, foundations always being too pink or orange, I always thought they were just oxidizing on me! I finally tried a neutral foundation the other day and it’s the closest match I’ve gotten but it’s still slightly too gray. Gonna try mixing a green color corrector with it.
I always wondered why bright lip colors like magenta or coral looked good on me and nude lipsticks made me look sallow. This video is life changing
oh my god PLEASE. PLEASE PLEASE MAKE THE FOUNDATION AND CONCEALER REC LIST FOR OLIVE UNDERTONES. HELP A GIRL OUT I COME OUT OF SEPHORA WITH SO MUCH SADNESS AND FRUSTRATION EVERY TIME
I have light, warm olive-toned skin and Bobbi Brown is my go-to for foundation and concealer.
A life-saver for me has been buying a slightly yellow foundation (as I have more yellow overtones) and mixing green primer with it. I use the "L.A. Girl Pro Prep HD Color Correcting Face Primer". Another comment also recommended the "Catrice Prime and Fine Anti-Red Primer." Should help a lot! (:
Try the subreddit r/oliveMUA
I use Juvia's Place concealer in J18- Medium tan/ with golden olive undertone and Shade Stick in Manila/ olive undertones.
You could try Ex1 foundation. You can find it on Amazon. They only do olive undertone foundations.
As a olive medium/medium light gal another types of blushes that can look good on us is orangy,red, coral tones. In fact that my prefer colour of blush.
That also depends whether you’re a cool/warm olive. I’m a cool-toned olive and coral make up makes me look like I’ve got spaghetti sauce all over my face LMAO 🥲
For cooler olive skin tone I recommend slightly muted, rosy pinkish colours. They look natural on my face at least 😁
yes please a video on olive foundations and concealers pretty please!!!!!! im light neutral olive and would really appreciate your help!
what i love about her videos is, that she doesn't edit perfection on her face. She makes it clear that, makeup will ALWAYS look like makeup and not like skin. Thankyou for this!
I love how you explained olive undertone so well with the sponge!!!!!
Is this why I turn grey instead of golden brown like my friends when I tan? I used to be so embarrassed
I said the same thing to my mom and she told me i'm crazy 😂😂 Thank youuuuuu
Once I get more of a tan I get a bit warmer but for the first half of summer I do look quite gray so probably!
That's why I hate to tan lol
I’m the opposite. I look light green when I don’t ta. Once I tan I look healthier. But it’s a struggle because the sun damages skin.
YES me too! I swear that everytime I went on a holiday in a hot country then come back home I look abit...."grey" or dark-ish grey and people thought I was going crazy haha
Yes please!! Id love a video on foundations and concealers for olive undertone! Its always been a problem for me.
I have literally never seen a video on olive skin before. Thanks a lot.
Yes please!! Which brands carry them? Dry olive skin concealer/foundation please.
Well now I finally understand why I always felt green and gray! I found mixing a bit of green color into my foundation helps make it match a bit better, perhaps that neutralizes things, but the match is better than otherwise. I always go for a neutral foundation color too, I think that's almost always our only option
This is roughly what I do now too. Neutral concealer and translucent powder. On no make-up days, I wear an SPF moisturiser with a green tint so I don’t look too blotchy. I’m not big on blush and eyeshadow colours, but soft wash natural colours and tints (like watercolours, I guess) tend to look the best on my particular skin.
Hi! Oh my goodness, its winter in the UK now and over the last month I was so worried why my skin looks so green. I have olive skintone! could you tell me the reason it looks green and if its permanent, any way to fix it ?
This is super helpful! I'd love to see more olive themed videos. 🖤
Alexandra Anele has very fair olive skin and makes a lot of helpful videos for another reference.
If you're in the olive neutral light side you're gonna love the Missha perfect cover bb cream NO.23 like it looks gray in first plays but sets beautifully and the formula is my favourite one. Literally for olive tones I will go with Asian make-up brands but really hate that there isn't a big shade range :(
Hi Haley! I don't usually comment on videos but this was immensely helpful. You really opened my eyes as to why literally no foundation/tinted moisturizer was working well on me! Now I'm begging please make the foundation video and if you could include tinted moisturizer/sunscreen recommendations for people who prefer lightweight options such as myself, that would be incredible!!! Keep up the great work :)
I've been living this since 14. (I'm 41 now). Always used neutrals bc it was the closest. Finally, more people are becoming aware of this! I'm white as a sheet in the winter and tan without burning in the summer. If I was feeling unwell my mother would always comment that I looked "green".
What brands do you like for a pale olive tone. Your shade sounds similar to mine.
Yes, PLEASE make a video about foundation and concealer for olive undertones!!! THANK YOU!
as expected, haley with her high quality and informative content
Hi Haley I’d love to see a video about foundation and concealer recommendations for olive undertones 💖💖💖 I have olive tones but I’ve never been able to find the right product, I always end up looking pink and then I just add the colour back to my face with a bronzer. But then when I go into different lighting I’m self conscious because I think my skin gets a weird look 🥲🥲
Thanks for this video i really enjoyed it, and the makeup recommendations at the end were great too ☺️☺️
Yes!!! As a fellow light olive, it is so under represented. Like most male artists act like your crazy because olive is only dark 🙄
I believe I've olive tones leaning towards yellow. Your colour suggestions are so correct.
Thank you for mentioning that an individual’s overtones change depending on sun exposure!
that changed my whole perspective on skin tones
For years I have wondered why in the winter I turn a greyish yellow, and I traditionally fit in the “cool colour” spectrum.
Meaning cooler colours and sliver look best on me.
But then in the summer, I get a little darker and I feel as though I change to a warmer colour spectrum.
all the sudden gold looks better and warmer colours bring me to life.
My veins are a mix of purple and green, and that has confused me a lot.
I have always been very confused about what my skin is….
Your summer/winter experience (as well as veins) describe me! Stupidly enough, I got a tattoo when I was eighteen, right atop my veins, so I can only refer to the veins on my one untattooed hand...
Exactly!!!!
Please do make more vids on olive undertones! I only realized I had olive skin a few months ago which makes sense. Your vids has been really helpful especially for lighter skintones since i'd usually see brown to dark women giving tips on olive undertone more. I hope you could do foundation & concealer recommendation for light-medium skintones 🙏
The only brand I've found to specifically cater towards olive skin tones is EX1- I discovered them last year and it felt amazing to finally find a shade that actually matched my undertone. For so many years, all the concealers I wore (I don't wear foundation) were usually too pink so it looked like I had pink rashes on my skin. I think the founder put it best when she said that, you can have 100 shades, but if the undertones aren't right, they're not going to match.
The opening statement really hit the nail in the head. Only recently I started using neutral undertone product, and like you said it's a slight bit too peachy on my skin. I was quite okay with that because it's the closest one I've ever get but thanks for reminding me that this undertone exist! I hope you can give foundation/concealer recommendation with different price range next time!
The struggle is real! Especially if you're light or light-medium olive. A lot of times, cosmetic companies even have any olive shades, it's usually med or med tan.
Thank you so much - been searching for a video like this for so long! Like you, I really struggled finding foundation until I realized I had an olive undertone. Then, the next struggle was finding flattering blush/bronzer/lipstick shades. It's still something I'm struggling with, so I appreciate your video and would love if you decided to make another video expanding on your product recommendations!!
Haley you read my mind! 🥺 I was going to ask you for making foundation or concealer recommendations for olive undertone. Can't wait to watch it 🥰💚
Fenty and rare beauty both have a good range of olive undertone foundations and concealers!
@@kinuchiha Thank you for mentioning them ✨ Unfortunately it's kinda hard to get my hands on them in my country, and it's more easy to find Korean brands here so hopefully Haley will come out with (at least one) Korean brand 🥺
@@yasmine3371 koh gen do is a Japanese brand that runs olive. I really want to try Korean cushion foundations, but they don’t seem to do olive :(
@@kinuchiha Ikr, they always come out with cool or pink undertone 😭 Once they make the warm shade it can be too yellowish for me. I've never heard of that brand but sounds interesting. If it's available here I'll take a look :D
I just learnt that I have olive undertone!! Now I understand why my PE teacher diagnosed me with anemia because I "look sick" without makeup, why I get tanned soo fast, why my face would look grey or green in some pictures and why i look amazing in navy blue, maroon, peach and dark green and weird in pastel colours :')
Thank you so much for this video!
YES HALEY! SPREAD AWARENESS WE GREEN PEOPLE NEED MAKEUP TOO!
😂😂 green lives matter
Definitely a video of different brands that carry olive undertone foundations and concealers. Please!
Let me let you guys in on this foundation that i have loved for a long time and even makes the matching concealers. They nail ALL olive tones. Im talking from blue green to warm green they got us. Beauty Blender especially made their foundation lines to target medium skin tones but along the way set the standard for categorizing olive undertones! Ive never had a foundation literally blend into my skins undertone until i tried this foundation. give it a go i highly recommend
I'm on the lighter olive neutral side, I recommend rare beauty foundation 170, it's the best match I've found 🙌🏻 I recommend that or 180!! loreal infallible linen is okay too!
thank you for this vid!!
Pro-tip for my fellow olives: rose gold looks IMMENSELY BETTER than silver and gold.
Thank you for this, it was a revelation!!!! Would appreciate recs for concealers especially, neutralizing the grayness in olive skin tones from hyperpigmentation
I have olive undertones and Haley recommends alot of warm products for olives - but because there are warm and cool olives, as a cool olive, colors that usually work on people with cool blue/pink undertones work best on me (blue, purple, pink, silver, green, etc.) and colors that look good on warm people don’t suit me (orange, gold, yellow, bronze, copper, etc.)
If you feel like you’re a cool olive, cool colors rather than warm orange
colors like ABH Soft Glam may suit you more!
Thank you thank you thank you !!!! I have been looking for a foundation I like with no success!!! I have been looking for over 30years with no success. I finally go check to see if I am olive. The foundation that totally disappeared on my face is Neutral - warm olive. This foundation. is not too pink, yellow or orange on my skin!!! So happy!!! Thank you!!
I have light olive skin. I really don't think redish/orangey eyeshadows look good on me. I usually go for cool/neutral eyeshadow looks, rarely anything that's warm (and soooo prevalent in most releases 😩).
Started using olive tones foundation and it changed my makeup game by far!
When I go to stores, employees always choose warm foundations for me, but they always look too yellow on me. But then cooler shades always look too gray :( I might have to look into finding olive tone base products. Thanks so much for this video, so informational as usual!
This is the video I have wanted to see for so long! I have between warm and neutral olive toned skin as well and finding concealer/foundation matches has been a struggle. Would love to see a video highlighting the brands you use!
“you might look sick when not wearing makeup “ litterally me. if i look at myself in thr mirror in any season that isn’t summer, i litterally look green all of the time and people notice it. it dosnt help that i live in a cold area so i also have a vitamin D diffencency, so it can get really bad. and it dosnt help that my skin can get quite dark in thr summer and i like how that looks more than when i pale out in the winter, so them people would be like, “hey your looking sickly”, or , “you’ve been looking really pale lately” and i hate it so much oh my gosh. they just don’t realize that i’m really self conscious about it.😅
My strategy has always been to find a super yellow foundation, then add blue mixer to it. I use a tiny drop of the MUFE one. Boom. Perfect match.
*if you're olive, does that automatically mean you can tan easily? I think I may be slightly olive (but more on the pale side)* if I haven't been out in the sun for a while, I need to tan for a while to start getting darker, but once I get the base, I tan normally. I get hyperpigmentation easily, I'm oily, I've always had trouble finding the right foundation shade. I've always said I was neutral-leaning-warm since neutral is a little too beige/grey for me but warm is too yellow/orange. and when I look at my neck under the sun (but not in direct sunlight), I have a slight green-tinge to it
Totally relate it's the same with me , same skin type and same issues ! Still finding the right shades but so far I've found bb cream is the best option and one shade darker warm shade concealer under my eyes , sometimes I try to use a green corrector and mix it in my yellower foundations but the right ratio is too hard to make every time let me know what works for u!
Please do the concealer video!! 🙏 I just can't find the perfect one for my olive skin
I would love to have video about olive undertone foundation and concealer, this would help me a lot ♥️
Please do a video for foundation and concealers for different olive undertones
What olive foundation did you use in the video??
The sponge analogy is brilliant.
Thank you for all your helpful videos! I would love to hear some suggestions for olive undertone foundation or concealers please!
Such a breath of fresh air, thank you for touching on this theme. Please do make the follow-up video with your recommendations of foundation and concelear for olive undertones. In a world where we are so overwhelmed by choice it is so stressful to filter out and make informed decisions. 💕
I feel like color blinded trying to learn recognize all this 😂
me too, I still don't recognize my tone
I don't understand what she said about tone and feel like a color-blinded person.
This is exactly what I thought to myself. 😆
Yep 😂 it felt like those memes with a man seeing only color red while the woman sees every shade of red lol
Love this makeup! So natural n gorgeous
Loved to know red lip recommendations for olive undertone
오아..올리브톤에 대한 이렇게 자세한 영상 처음이에요..!!😲👍👍 다른 톤이랑 같이 설명해주시니까 이해하기 넘 쉬워여 ㅎㅎ 오늘 립도 넘 이쁘세요 🌹❤
This has to be the most comprehensive and detailed info on this topic. It’s such a shame that in this day and age most make up assistants will still match you up to a warm based foundation and still have no education or knowledge on olive skin tones. Thank you for this very enlightening video!
that lipstick fits you so well
This video is perfect! Whenever a saleslady help me with foundation. The color matches but not the tone so people always say the foundation is too white!
Please do concealer and foundation recommendations too! Thank you so much!
i have light olive skin on the grayer sider, and the amount of times people ask me if i'm okay because i look sick/dead/tired when i don't wear makeup...😭
omg same! do you happen to have any foundations/concealers that match you?
@@AB-ez1eh honestly, i tend to just wear warmer foundations and blend them down my neck to make it look like it matches lmao, so i havne't shopped around much. but the closest match i've found so far is dr. jarts BB cream in the color light-medium! it's on the neutral side and i think it blends in with my skin tone more since it's a lighter coverage. BUT alexandra anele's beauty channel is awesome for us because she has fair olive skin too, so i'd def recommend watching her videos!
Thank you so much for this video. Last year when I watched this, it made me really think. It answers many of my questions. I realised after a lot of trial and error that I’m a warm olive undertone.
The fenty 290, although a neutral olive, is a good match. For me, the problem is most foundations are not yellow enough, i.e. more peachy or red when warm, or more pink when neutral. I am in between light and medium in most foundations or a medium at most. I can see the hint of green in my yellow undertone but again something used to always feel off. Now I always check Reddit before getting any foundation. Or take my foundation to the store to see if the undertones are similar.
Finally found the video bout my skin tone!!
Haley, you should do a video on blushes! Picking a blush that is nuanced is soo difficult. I either look more yellow-green (with red tone blushes), gray-green (with warm berry/lavender blushes), or muddy/dirty (with peachy-orange blushes)... 😔
My skin tone is exactly like Mila's Kunis and I always literally ALWAYS had a problem with buying foundation
Yes, foundation & concealer video.
Thank you.
this is very helpful.I have the same problem too, as someone who is a "tanned" asian! thank you for sharing this :)) plus the way you explained it was super easy to understand ^__^
same! I'm not that light and not that dark, I'm just tanned and dehydrated most of the times
My mom told me I was olive since u was a child, but when I grew up I always came across beauty articles that described olive as a tanned tone like southern mediterranean people. So I dropped the conception. Thanks for clearing that up! It's similar to the confusion about body types until a RUclipsr showed the differences for each type depending if its overweight or underweight
YES that’s my struggle lol and it’s worse bc I’m fair af 😞
You can check out Alexandra Anele! Shes also a pretty fair olive and has great recommendations!!
@@isateasane i was gonna say the same thing!
Thank you SO much for this video 🤍 I have struggled finding what undertone I have my entire life!! I settled for neutral skintone products but wondered why my foundation wasnt a perfect match.. and thank you for recommendating exact products and their shade names you are a life saver!!
Me too. Warm toned foundation always looked too yellow, and cool toned foundation made me look a bit grayish and sallow. So I settled on neutral. Now I do find that for me, a lot of neutral toned foundations do work out well enough. But now knowing that my undertone is actually olive, I'm on the hunt again. Recently bought Smashbox studio skin hydrating foundation in 1.05, which has an olive undertone, and the match is great! Not sure if I absolutely love that foundation, but the color is spot on.
I’m training to be a personal color consultant.
Olive 🫒 skin is apart of warm tones of course. Yellowish green is definitely very warm. It’s just that there are different kind of warm colors.
To be exact,
1. Yellow / Warm undertone
(a) Very fair skin = Ivory
(b) Medium to darker skin = Olive
2. Pink/cool undertone
Only lighter skin
3. Greyish, Ashy undertone
Vary from very light to deep
“Neutral” does exist but it’s not about your skin color. It’s neutral colors (lip, blusher, eye makeup, clothes) that you have to use. Because not everyone is sensitive to warm and cool. So they can use somewhat in between colors.
Okay this is very incorrect , olive can range for very light to dark . Olive is the hue of skin and undertone , anyone from cool or warm can be olive . Makeup artist and beauty community has such misinformation about olive skin . I can tell you go to a beauty school or have been learning from makeup artist that don’t know anything about olive skin tone or only learned what has been told to them .Yellow greenish can be both warm or cool , depends where it leans on . Yellow it self can be warm or cool like she showed on this video . If want to test it out get a bunch of mixers and you’ll see how different is each olive skin tone . This is why olive skin tone is still such a problem . The surface of your skin is different from your undertone and combining both makes different skin tones . Neutral does exist in skin tone because it’s in the middle of the spectrum . There’s people who either have balance of both tones or don’t lean towards neither because once again it’s in the middle of the spectrum . Look at some color wheels and some color charts and your body color charts too .
Can you make a video about hair colours for olive undertones?
Oh my gosh yes! The struggle of being olive 😅
Hi Tia! I subscribed to your channel too!
meow meow1961 hehe thanks 😊❤️
Thanks so much! One question: should we pick gold or sliver for olive skin tone?
woah... i think i’m a neutral olive undertone. i’m caramel from the nyx total control drop foundation, can anyone else confirm?
Olive undertone here! Neutral still looks paler on me TT and I look sick without makeup too
always so difficult to find a right shade of foundation, would love if you post another vid about foundation 🤩🤩
